I own a 2020 starweld 16 dc pro. I can only speak of this boat. As for being sea worthy for it size I think it's greatest attribute. Anyone that remembers the labor day storm two years ago which I do because I got caught off shore about a mile when it hit me. Waves were coming over the windshield and landing on the rear casting deck and running back out of the boat. Sometime before I responded to a post on the same subject sometime in Feb or March of this year. The quality of the work is poor and if your boat has to go back to factory depending on what needs to be done it will never be the same boat again as you remember it. I'm still finding discrepancies from when it was at the factory twice for sub par rivets and to repair the items they missed or created while replacing rivets.
I wouldn't buy another starweld in this size and would go over a bigger boat with a fine tooth comb before deciding to buy another one. Starweld is made in the smokercraft factory. I wouldn't buy anything coming out of that factory. I'll be up in a month if anyone would like to check out a starweld fusion pro. I will glading point out the flaws in their workmanship. There are some good things about it. I can put it in anywhere. Electric only, 10hp restrictions and unlimited hp bodies of water.n
