The Larson 204 Escape 2010 is a modified-V design and the Larson LSR 2100 2013 is a deep-V design, so you're likely deciding between two noticeably 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 204 Escape 2010 at 20,1 ft versus Larson LSR 2100 2013 at 21,1 ft. Weight tells a clearer story for trailering families: the Larson 204 Escape 2010 tips the scales at 3 000 lbs - 300 lbs more than the Larson LSR 2100 2013 at 2 700 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.

Engine data for the Larson LSR 2100 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 204 Escape 2010 carries 50 gallons versus 30 gallons in the Larson LSR 2100 2013. 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 204 Escape 2010 is rated for 10 passengers, while the Larson LSR 2100 2013 caps at 8. If you're regularly pulling extended family or a group of friends onto the water, the extra seats on the Larson 204 Escape 2010 could be the deciding factor.
Bottom line: Choose the Larson 204 Escape 2010 if your priority is putting more people on the water - it handles 10 passengers and at 20,1 ft it has the deck room to back that rating up comfortably. The Larson LSR 2100 2013 is the smarter pick if you want a lighter, easier-to-trailer boat rated for 8 that costs less to run day-to-day.
