2027 Starcraft Fishmaster 196

The 2027 Starcraft Fishmaster 196 is a 19-foot aluminum sportfish boat engineered for large-water conditions. Built with a deep-V Power-Trac hull, high freeboard, and wide flaring bow, it cuts through heavy chop and provides a stable, dry ride in rough seas. The design prioritizes safety and spray control, keeping the crew protected during extended runs.

The open cockpit layout accommodates multiple fishing styles, from trolling to casting. The helm station has space for large-screen sonar and GPS units with ergonomic controls positioned for all-day comfort. Flexible seating and cockpit arrangements adapt to walleye planner fishing, downrigging for salmon, or other techniques.

This boat features heavy-gauge aluminum construction backed by a limited lifetime warranty on the hull and structure. Ordered options on this example include a Yamaha 9.9 kicker engine with pre-rigged setup, a three-step swim platform, an enclosed trailerable canvas cover, dual battery configuration, and a transom saver trailer option.
