Rule the seas with the best value around. Start something great in a Chieftain!

Chieftain V-Planning at its level best, at full bore! The exclusive concave-vee aluminum hull irons out the rough spots, while most of the boat's 2,000 pounds bear down on the forward two-thirds of the hull to keep you on an even keel. Ham and eggs, anyone? A breakfast bar awaits your pleasure.

 

Surround this one-room mansion with a lake-sized swimming pool, and you've got the perfect weekend retreat. Folding helm and companion seats. Twin cabin lounge seats that convert into a wall-to-wall bed. Op- tional MerCruiser stern drives to 165 HP. Built-in space for "Porta-Pottie." Full curtains and headliner in the cabin.

 

Summary of the Chieftain V Powerboat

The Starcraft Chieftain 21 is a classic, lightweight, all-aluminum 21-foot cuddy cabin cruiser popular for lake, river, and big-water use (such as on the Great Lakes). Typically dating to the 1970s and 1980s, its deep-V hull offers a stable, incredibly dry ride.

Hull Material: Marine-grade aluminum (making it highly resistant to rot, lightweight for towing, and easy to beach).

Layout: Cuddy cabin (small forward sleeping/storage area), open cockpit, and a hardtop or soft-top enclosure.

Propulsion: Originally offered in both outboard and stern-drive (inboard/outboard) configurations. Models commonly featured 4-cylinder or 6-cylinder inboard engines (e.g., the MerCruiser 165 HP engine).

Colors: Bermuda Cream hull, deck, and cabin top. Green interior.
