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.
