Both the Avalon LS 19 ft. 2010 and the Avalon Windjammer RC 22 ft. 2009 are pontoon designs, both built in aluminium, so 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 LS 19 ft. 2010 at 19,0 ft versus Avalon Windjammer RC 22 ft. 2009 at 22,0 ft. Weight tells a clearer story for trailering families: the Avalon Windjammer RC 22 ft. 2009 tips the scales at 2 050 lbs - 400 lbs less than the Avalon LS 19 ft. 2010 at 1 650 lbs. That difference is meaningful if you're working within a half-ton or three-quarter-ton truck's tow rating, especially once you factor in a motor, gear, and fuel.

The power gap is worth calling out. Rated to 125 hp, the Avalon Windjammer RC 22 ft. 2009 has a 35-hp advantage over the Avalon LS 19 ft. 2010's 90-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 Windjammer RC 22 ft. 2009 is rated for 11 passengers, while the Avalon LS 19 ft. 2010 caps at 9. If you're regularly pulling extended family or a group of friends onto the water, the extra seats on the Avalon Windjammer RC 22 ft. 2009 could be the deciding factor.

One place where both boats are genuinely identical is tube construction: both run 2 aluminum tubes at 25" diameter. That shared spec means stability and buoyancy characteristics are closely matched - the ride difference you'll feel between them comes primarily from deck length, weight distribution, and motor choice.
