Detailed Evaluation & Buyer Recommendation
Larson 1750 LX 2009 vs Larson LX 195 S I/O 2013 — Same Brand, Different Boat
Matching a modified vee Larson 1750 LX 2009 against a deep vee Larson LX 195 S I/O 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.
On paper these two are close siblings in the size department — Larson 1750 LX 2009 at 17,1 ft versus Larson LX 195 S I/O 2013 at 20,1 ft. At 204 lbs and 245 lbs respectively, both sit in a similar weight class — either should pair comfortably with most mid-size SUVs and half-ton trucks, though always confirm your specific tow rating with the motor added.
For family outings this is probably the sharpest distinction between the two. The Larson LX 195 S I/O 2013 is rated for 8 passengers, while the Larson 1750 LX 2009 caps at 7. If you're regularly pulling extended family or a group of friends onto the water, the extra seats on the Larson LX 195 S I/O 2013 could be the deciding factor.
Bottom line: Choose the Larson LX 195 S I/O 2013 if your priority is putting more people on the water — it handles 8 passengers and at 20,1 ft it has the deck room to back that rating up comfortably. The Larson 1750 LX 2009 is the smarter pick if you want a lighter, easier-to-trailer boat rated for 7 that costs less to run day-to-day.
