The Sedona F19 2007 vs Sedona L 19 2008 comparison sits squarely in the category of decisions where specs alone won't tell the whole story — intended use, storage, and long-term ownership costs all factor in.
On paper these two are close siblings in the size department — Sedona F19 2007 at 18,0 ft versus Sedona L 19 2008 at 18,0 ft. At 1 611 lbs and 1 536 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.
Both boats share a closely matched power ceiling — 60 hp for the Sedona F19 2007 and 60 hp for the Sedona L 19 2008. Real-world performance will come down more to which motor is actually bolted on, its load at the time, and whether it's a 4-stroke or 2-stroke setup. Fuel capacity breaks the other way: the Sedona L 19 2008 carries 26 gallons versus 15 gallons in the Sedona F19 2007. On a lake day that's negligible, but for coastal cruising or long reservoir runs the extra range matters.
For family outings this is probably the sharpest distinction between the two. The Sedona F19 2007 is rated for 23 passengers, while the Sedona L 19 2008 caps at 7. If you're regularly pulling extended family or a group of friends onto the water, the extra seats on the Sedona F19 2007 could be the deciding factor.
At this size, power-to-weight ratio matters more than outright horsepower. The Sedona L 19 2008 comes in at 26 lbs per hp versus 27 lbs per hp for the Sedona F19 2007. The lower the ratio the more explosive the acceleration — meaningful on a short RIB where bursts of speed, quick planing, and agility in surf or tight waterways define the experience.
The Sedona F19 2007 is an inflatable design — lighter, easier to store, and quicker to launch from a beach or dock without a slipway. The Sedona L 19 2008 is a rigid hull, which typically offers a more confident ride in chop and easier maintenance over the long term.
Bottom line: Choose the Sedona F19 2007 if your priority is putting more people on the water — it handles 23 passengers and at 18,0 ft it has the deck room to back that rating up comfortably. The Sedona L 19 2008 is the smarter pick if you want a lighter, easier-to-trailer boat rated for 7 that costs less to run day-to-day.
