    Looking at the specs it appears this is a different hull? I have a 119C and it is 19'6" and the new ones say 19'9". Also it shows that it holds 6 more gallons of fuel than the older version.

    Anyone have any insight on this?

    It’s the same hull, but a different top cap, which is making it measure 3 inches longer. The changes in the top cap are mainly in the stern area.

    Looks like they brought back the step up cooler.

    Is it just me guys or is this new z519 ugly!!?? I just bought a 2018 519 this year and love it. The seats, console, and trailer even look better to me than this new ugly one. I didn't like the L series consoles or seats before I even bought a boat this year and now it looks as if everything they have is that way now.

    I keep reminding myself that almost every new design looks odd/ugly until we get used to it. And then there are some compromises between form and function that we simply have to accept or ignore. The new 519 has a console that will hold a flush-mounted 16-inch graph. It’s alao a lot taller and boxier than suits my aesthetic eye. Marketing is a strange endeavor.

    I just ordered a 2019 z518 , I am sure the new console will grow on me, but I really love the console on my z117

    DO WHAT? how in the hell do you advertise that the hull length is 19'9" and it is only 19'6" makes no sense to me.

    I'm curious if they made the front deck any bigger/wider with the new top cap.

    On the Z519 a setback plate is optional. A manual setback plate is included on the Z519L.
