This new flagship of the Element series doesn't deviate significantly from the path of encouraging new boaters. It does expand the M line, replacing the long-running E18 while introducing updated looks and seating.
The M hull pairs the benefits of a center V with twin sponsons port and starboard. The result is minimal bow rise and a relatively flat cornering style that won't unnerve newcomers. A minimal 1-foot-5-inch draft also proves practical and easy.

Carrying its beam well forward, the topside amenities include a spacious bow cockpit, allowing two to stretch out or a crew of five to gather around an optional table. A center bow cushion and backrest can also create a rear-facing seat. Rather than the Element's trademark bench to accommodate the captain and crew at the helm, the M19 debuts a helm seat with a flip-up bolster. Opposite, a companion seat molds into the deck and features a removable backrest. Drop the filler cushion in the footwell between the seat and console to create additional bench seating. Likewise, insert a filler aft and link the seat to the rear lounge.
