The Sundance DX20 2013 vs Sundance F19FLX 2007 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 — Sundance DX20 2013 at 19,8 ft versus Sundance F19FLX 2007 at 18,0 ft. Weight tells a clearer story for trailering families: the Sundance DX20 2013 tips the scales at 1 575 lbs — 470 lbs more than the Sundance F19FLX 2007 at 1 105 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 130 hp, the Sundance DX20 2013 has a 40-hp advantage over the Sundance F19FLX 2007's 90-hp ceiling — enough to notice on acceleration and at cruising speed, particularly with a full passenger load. Both carry nearly identical fuel loads — 24 gal and 24 gal — so range won't be a tiebreaker here.
For family outings this is probably the sharpest distinction between the two. The Sundance DX20 2013 is rated for 8 passengers, while the Sundance F19FLX 2007 caps at 6. If you're regularly pulling extended family or a group of friends onto the water, the extra seats on the Sundance DX20 2013 could be the deciding factor.
Bottom line: Choose the Sundance DX20 2013 if your priority is putting more people on the water — it handles 8 passengers and at 19,8 ft it has the deck room to back that rating up comfortably. The Sundance F19FLX 2007 is the smarter pick if you want a lighter, easier-to-trailer boat rated for 6 that costs less to run day-to-day.
