Detailed Evaluation & Buyer Recommendation

Larson 1700 LX 2010 vs Larson Cabrio 315 2013 — Same Brand, Different Boat

Matching a modified vee Larson 1700 LX 2010 against a deep vee Larson Cabrio 315 2013 means you're likely deciding between two genuinely different on-water experiences. Hull type shapes everything from ride quality and fuel burn to dock handling and resale trajectory.

Size is the most obvious dividing line here. The Larson Cabrio 315 2013 measures 30,4 feet overall (2013), giving it roughly 13,5 additional feet of deck space compared to the Larson 1700 LX 2010 at 16,9 feet (2010). Weight tells a clearer story for trailering families: the Larson 1700 LX 2010 tips the scales at 165 lbs — 164 lbs more than the Larson Cabrio 315 2013 at 1 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 Larson 1700 LX 2010 carries a rated maximum of 115 hp. Engine data for the Larson Cabrio 315 2013 wasn't available in our records — check the manufacturer's spec sheet before sizing a motor.Fuel capacity breaks the other way: the Larson Cabrio 315 2013 carries 109 gallons versus 23 gallons in the Larson 1700 LX 2010. On a lake day that's negligible, but for coastal cruising or long reservoir runs the extra range matters.

For family outings this is probably the sharpest distinction between the two. The Larson Cabrio 315 2013 is rated for 9 passengers, while the Larson 1700 LX 2010 caps at 7. If you're regularly pulling extended family or a group of friends onto the water, the extra seats on the Larson Cabrio 315 2013 could be the deciding factor.

Bottom line: Choose the Larson Cabrio 315 2013 if your priority is putting more people on the water — it handles 9 passengers and at 30,4 ft it has the deck room to back that rating up comfortably. The Larson 1700 LX 2010 is the smarter pick if you want a lighter, easier-to-trailer boat rated for 7 that costs less to run day-to-day.
