Avalon 19 ft. LS 2013 vs Avalon 22 ft. Windjammer 2011 — A Close Look at Two Pontoons

When two boats share the same hull type — in this case both the Avalon 19 ft. LS 2013 and the Avalon 22 ft. Windjammer 2011 are pontoon designs with aluminum construction — the buying decision usually comes down to a handful of practical questions: how many people are you putting on the water, how far do you trailer, and what does your tow vehicle weigh?

On paper these two are close siblings in the size department — Avalon 19 ft. LS 2013 at 19,0 ft versus Avalon 22 ft. Windjammer 2011 at 22,0 ft. At 165 lbs and 205 lbs respectively, both sit in a similar weight class — either should pair comfortably with most mid-size SUVs and half-ton trucks, though always confirm your specific tow rating with the motor added.

The power gap is worth calling out. Rated to 125 hp, the Avalon 22 ft. Windjammer 2011 has a 65-hp advantage over the Avalon 19 ft. LS 2013's 60-hp ceiling — enough to notice on acceleration and at cruising speed, particularly with a full passenger load.

For family outings this is probably the sharpest distinction between the two. The Avalon 22 ft. Windjammer 2011 is rated for 11 passengers, while the Avalon 19 ft. LS 2013 caps at 8. If you're regularly pulling extended family or a group of friends onto the water, the extra seats on the Avalon 22 ft. Windjammer 2011 could be the deciding factor.

Both are 2-tube and 2-tube pontoon designs respectively. Tube diameter and gauge affect stability and load capacity — more so than most buyers realize when comparing on paper.

Bottom line: Choose the Avalon 22 ft. Windjammer 2011 if your priority is putting more people on the water — it handles 11 passengers and at 22,0 ft it has the deck room to back that rating up comfortably. The Avalon 19 ft. LS 2013 is the smarter pick if you want a lighter, easier-to-trailer boat rated for 8 that costs less to run day-to-day.

Avalon 19 ft. LS 2013 vs Avalon 22 ft. Windjammer 2011 — Common Questions

Which is the larger boat — the Avalon 19 ft. LS 2013 or the Avalon 22 ft. Windjammer 2011?
The Avalon 22 ft. Windjammer 2011 is the longer of the two at 22,0 feet overall. The Avalon 19 ft. LS 2013 comes in at 19,0 feet, making it roughly 3,0 ft shorter — a meaningful difference in deck room and overall on-water presence.
Which is easier to trailer — the Avalon 19 ft. LS 2013 or the Avalon 22 ft. Windjammer 2011?
For trailering, the Avalon 19 ft. LS 2013 has the edge at 165 lbs dry weight versus 205 lbs for the Avalon 22 ft. Windjammer 2011. Add a motor (typically 300–500 lbs for an outboard in this class), gear, and a partial fuel load and the difference grows. Lighter is friendlier on smaller tow vehicles and on fuel economy while hauling.
Which boat can handle a bigger outboard?
The Avalon 22 ft. Windjammer 2011 is rated to a maximum of 125 hp, giving it the larger power ceiling. The Avalon 19 ft. LS 2013 tops out at 60 hp. Keep in mind that maximum ratings are just that — matching the motor to the actual load and usage pattern usually matters more than chasing the ceiling.
How many people can each boat hold?
The Avalon 19 ft. LS 2013 is Coast Guard rated for 8 passengers, while the Avalon 22 ft. Windjammer 2011 is certified for 11. Note that legal capacity and comfortable capacity aren't always the same thing — on a full day out, most experienced boaters aim for about 80% of the rated number to keep things comfortable.
Do these boats require an oversize trailer permit to tow on US highways?
Both the Avalon 19 ft. LS 2013 and Avalon 22 ft. Windjammer 2011 share an 8 ft. 6 in beam — meaning both sit right at the 8’6" threshold that most US states use for standard-width loads. In most states you can tow at that width without a special permit, but regulations vary. Always check the rules for your state and any states you'll be passing through before your first long haul.
Are the Avalon 19 ft. LS 2013 and Avalon 22 ft. Windjammer 2011 from the same manufacturer?
Yes — both the Avalon 19 ft. LS 2013 and the Avalon 22 ft. Windjammer 2011 are built by Avalon. That means shared dealer networks, common parts availability, and consistent build quality across the line. The choice between them is essentially a question of how much boat you need, not which brand you trust.
