Matching a modified vee Klamath 15 Advantage S 2011 against a deep vee Klamath 19 ft. Baja 2013 means you're likely deciding between two genuinely different on-water experiences. Hull type shapes everything from ride quality and fuel burn to dock handling and resale trajectory.
Size is the most obvious dividing line here. The Klamath 19 ft. Baja 2013 measures 19,3 feet overall (2013), giving it roughly 4,2 additional feet of deck space compared to the Klamath 15 Advantage S 2011 at 15,2 feet (2011). At 35 lbs and 75 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 90 hp, the Klamath 19 ft. Baja 2013 has a 45-hp advantage over the Klamath 15 Advantage S 2011's 45-hp ceiling — enough to notice on acceleration and at cruising speed, particularly with a full passenger load.
Both boats are rated for 6 passengers — a good fit for a family of four or five plus guests. Comfort at capacity is another matter; the longer hull typically means more seat options and better weight distribution.
Bottom line: The Klamath 19 ft. Baja 2013 at 19,3 ft is the right call if deck space, comfort, and entertaining are top of your list. The Klamath 15 Advantage S 2011 at 15,2 ft wins on trailering ease, likely lower purchase price, and simpler docking — a solid choice for a buyer who wants more boat for less money.
