The Sedona FS 21 2006 vs Sedona L 19 2006 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.
Size is the most obvious dividing line here. The Sedona L 19 2006 measures 18,0 feet overall (2006), giving it roughly 16,0 additional feet of deck space compared to the Sedona FS 21 2006 at 2,0 feet (2006). Weight tells a clearer story for trailering families: the Sedona FS 21 2006 tips the scales at 1 965 lbs — 1 778 lbs more than the Sedona L 19 2006 at 187 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 90 hp, the Sedona FS 21 2006 has a 30-hp advantage over the Sedona L 19 2006's 60-hp ceiling — enough to notice on acceleration and at cruising speed, particularly with a full passenger load.
Both boats are rated for 9 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.
At this size, power-to-weight ratio matters more than outright horsepower. The Sedona L 19 2006 comes in at 3 lbs per hp versus 22 lbs per hp for the Sedona FS 21 2006. 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.
Bottom line: The Sedona L 19 2006 at 18,0 ft is the right call if deck space, comfort, and entertaining are top of your list. The Sedona FS 21 2006 at 2,0 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.
