Larson 240 Cabrio 2010 vs Larson Cabrio 260 2008 — Same Brand, Different Boat
Matching a deep vee Larson 240 Cabrio 2010 against a modified vee Larson Cabrio 260 2008 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 240 Cabrio 2010 at 24,6 ft versus Larson Cabrio 260 2008 at 26,0 ft. At 575 lbs and 646 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.
Both boats share a closely matched power ceiling — 320 hp for the Larson 240 Cabrio 2010 and 320 hp for the Larson Cabrio 260 2008. Real-world performance will come down more to which motor is actually bolted on, its load at the time, and whether it's a 4-stroke or 2-stroke setup. Both carry nearly identical fuel loads — 84 gal and 84 gal — so range won't be a tiebreaker here.
The Larson 240 Cabrio 2010 is rated for up to 8 people. Passenger data for the Larson Cabrio 260 2008 wasn't available.
Bottom line: The Larson 240 Cabrio 2010 and Larson Cabrio 260 2008 are closely matched on the specs that matter most. Test-ride both on the water you actually use, check current dealer pricing, and factor in long-term service access before you sign.
