Starcraft One Piece Hull vs. Lund Two Piece Hull
Starcraft uses one piece of
aluminum to make their hull.
No center seam, means less
chance for leaks and creates
a stronger hull.
Lund uses two pieces of
aluminum to make their hull.
The aluminum pieces are
welded together at the
center of the hull.
Starcraft Hull vs. Lund Hull
Lund’s Stringers are cut pieces
riveted to the hull bottom. The Bow
area is supported by Transverse
bulkheads. The area in between has
a void/ weak area.
Starcraft’s “TBC” Torsion Beam
Construction stringer system. It’s
welded together as a one piece
unit in a jig then riveted to the hull.
This keeps the hull true to form.
The bow ribs and the TBC
System support the entire length
of the hull bottom leaving no voids
or weak areas.

Starcraft Full Length Chine vs. Lund ¾ Chine
Starcraft’s Full Length Chine.
Provides better lift, cornering, and
drier ride
Full Length Chine.
Lund doesn’t offer a full length
chine. Lund uses a riveted on
spray rail on some models to
help keep you dry. The lack of a
full length chine means less lift,
poor cornering, and a wet ride.

Starcraft Deep V Design vs. Lund Shallow V
Starcraft utilizes a deep V hull design
to provide the best ride period.
Starcraft’s 176 Starfish DC features
a 17 degree deadrise hull to slice
through the waves.
Lund’s 1775 Impact Sport has
a 15 degree deadrise. This
shallow V design doesn’t slice
through the waves, It rides on
top of the waves.
Nothing compares to a Lund.

Starcraft 176 Starfish Console vs. Lund 1775 Impact Sport
• The 176 Starfish DC console (left) features “Soft Touch Vinyl” that provides a
leather like feel and adds to value of the product. It is also Ergonomically designed
so that gauges, controls, drink holder and switches are easy to read and access.
There's plenty of room to mount today’s most high tech fishing locators. The 176
Starfish also features a deluxe highly polished steering wheel with tilt feature.
Circuit Breakers instead of fuses provide electric circuit protection that can be
reused at the push of a button, just like in today’s homes.
• The Lund 1775 Impact console (Right) is made of hard plastic. The console and
steering wheel have the “budget look” compared to Starcraft. Tilt Steering is an
option. Old fashion fuses in stead of circuit breakers. The user has to have spare
fuses if a circuit is interrupted.
Starcraft 176 Starfish Seats vs. Lund 1775 Impact Sport
• The 176 Starfish DC comes with 3- Premium fishing seats that feature no
exposed hinges, seat back side support, seat bottom side support and high
density foam. The Starcraft seats are Ergonomically designed for fishing all day!
• The Lund 1775 Impact comes with 2- basic fishing seats that have exposed
hinges, low grade foam, no seat back or seat bottom side support. Customers
have the option to upgrade to the Starcraft style seats.
Starcraft 176 Starfish Gunnels vs. Lund 1775 Impact Sport
• The 176 Starfish DC (left) features wide heavy duty extruded aluminum gunnels.
Bert’s Custom rod holders and track system can be bolted directly to the gunnels.
• Lund’s 1775 Impact has narrow extruded aluminum gunnels. The owner has the
option to buy Lund’s “Sport Trak” accessory system rod holder brackets. The rod
holder bracket is plastic and slides into the gunnels. Plastic is weak compared to
the Bert’s Custom metal rod holder’s.
