Matching a modified vee Larson 1850 LX 2010 against a deep vee Larson LSR 2300 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 LSR 2300 2013 measures 23,1 feet overall (2013), giving it roughly 4,3 additional feet of deck space compared to the Larson 1850 LX 2010 at 18,8 feet (2010). Weight tells a clearer story for trailering families: the Larson 1850 LX 2010 tips the scales at 2 375 lbs — 2 344 lbs more than the Larson LSR 2300 2013 at 31 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 1850 LX 2010 carries a rated maximum of 190 hp. Engine data for the Larson LSR 2300 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 LSR 2300 2013 carries 36 gallons versus 23 gallons in the Larson 1850 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 1850 LX 2010 is rated for 7 passengers, while the Larson LSR 2300 2013 caps at 1. If you're regularly pulling extended family or a group of friends onto the water, the extra seats on the Larson 1850 LX 2010 could be the deciding factor.
Bottom line: Choose the Larson 1850 LX 2010 if your priority is putting more people on the water — it handles 7 passengers and at 18,8 ft it has the deck room to back that rating up comfortably. The Larson LSR 2300 2013 is the smarter pick if you want a lighter, easier-to-trailer boat rated for 1 that costs less to run day-to-day.
