Overview

The driest boat in its class.

The Vantage Series is a versatile flats boat that combines shallow draft and maneuverability with the rough-water capabilities of a bay boat. Built for guides to punish.

Every one is built to order in Longwood — one boat at a time, around the way you actually fish. Nothing on this page is a stock configuration.

The hull

Built for the water it was drawn for.

12° of deadrise is the middle ground that guides keep coming back to: enough V to cut a real chop and stay dry, still shallow enough to fish a 7"–9" draft. It's the hull for people whose day starts on the flat and ends running home across open water.

Questions

Before you build one.

How shallow can the 19 Vantage actually run?

Draft runs 7"–9" depending on how she's loaded and rigged. Numbers on a page are one thing though — tell us the water you fish and we'll tell you honestly whether this is the right hull for it.

How is the 19 Vantage different from the 19 VHP?

Same 19-foot platform. The 19 Vantage runs 12° deadrise with a 7"–9" draft; the 19 VHP runs 12° with a 7"–11" draft. Deadrise is the real decision — flatter gets skinnier, more V rides better when it kicks up.

What power does it take?

90–115 HP. Every boat ships as a package — boat, engine, trailer and rigging, priced once and up front. Suzuki, Mercury and Yamaha are all on the table; we'll walk through what actually suits how you run.

How many people can I fish?

Rated capacity is 4. Fuel is 28 gal, which is what sets your real range on a long run.

What's standard, and what's extra?

The ready-to-fish package below is standard on every 19 Vantage — engine, trailer and rigging included. Everything past that (electronics, trolling motor, jack plate, livewell config, AwlGrip color, layout) is yours to choose in the builder.
