Larson 240 Cabrio 2010 vs Larson FX 1750 SC O/B 2012 — Same Brand, Different Boat

Matching a deep vee Larson 240 Cabrio 2010 against a modified vee Larson FX 1750 SC O/B 2012 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 240 Cabrio 2010 measures 24,6 feet overall (2010), giving it roughly 7,2 additional feet of deck space compared to the Larson FX 1750 SC O/B 2012 at 17,4 feet (2012). Weight tells a clearer story for trailering families: the Larson 240 Cabrio 2010 tips the scales at 575 lbs — 559 lbs more than the Larson FX 1750 SC O/B 2012 at 16 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 power gap is worth calling out. Rated to 320 hp, the Larson 240 Cabrio 2010 has a 170-hp advantage over the Larson FX 1750 SC O/B 2012's 150-hp ceiling — enough to notice on acceleration and at cruising speed, particularly with a full passenger load. Fuel capacity breaks the other way: the Larson 240 Cabrio 2010 carries 84 gallons versus 23 gallons in the Larson FX 1750 SC O/B 2012. 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 240 Cabrio 2010 is rated for 8 passengers, while the Larson FX 1750 SC O/B 2012 caps at 6. If you're regularly pulling extended family or a group of friends onto the water, the extra seats on the Larson 240 Cabrio 2010 could be the deciding factor.

Bottom line: Choose the Larson 240 Cabrio 2010 if your priority is putting more people on the water — it handles 8 passengers and at 24,6 ft it has the deck room to back that rating up comfortably. The Larson FX 1750 SC O/B 2012 is the smarter pick if you want a lighter, easier-to-trailer boat rated for 6 that costs less to run day-to-day.

Larson 240 Cabrio 2010 vs Larson FX 1750 SC O/B 2012 — Common Questions

Which is the larger boat — the Larson 240 Cabrio 2010 or the Larson FX 1750 SC O/B 2012?
The Larson 240 Cabrio 2010 is the longer of the two at 24,6 feet overall. The Larson FX 1750 SC O/B 2012 comes in at 17,4 feet, making it roughly 7,2 ft shorter — a meaningful difference in deck room and overall on-water presence.
Which is easier to trailer — the Larson 240 Cabrio 2010 or the Larson FX 1750 SC O/B 2012?
For trailering, the Larson FX 1750 SC O/B 2012 has the edge at 16 lbs dry weight versus 575 lbs for the Larson 240 Cabrio 2010. Add a motor (typically 300–500 lbs for an outboard in this class), gear, and a partial fuel load and the difference grows. Lighter is friendlier on smaller tow vehicles and on fuel economy while hauling.
Which boat can handle a bigger outboard?
The Larson 240 Cabrio 2010 is rated to a maximum of 320 hp, giving it the larger power ceiling. The Larson FX 1750 SC O/B 2012 tops out at 150 hp. Keep in mind that maximum ratings are just that — matching the motor to the actual load and usage pattern usually matters more than chasing the ceiling.
How many people can each boat hold?
The Larson 240 Cabrio 2010 is Coast Guard rated for 8 passengers, while the Larson FX 1750 SC O/B 2012 is certified for 6. Note that legal capacity and comfortable capacity aren't always the same thing — on a full day out, most experienced boaters aim for about 80% of the rated number to keep things comfortable.
Which boat is wider, and does it affect trailering?
The Larson 240 Cabrio 2010 measures 102" wide, compared to 96" for the Larson FX 1750 SC O/B 2012. The US standard-width towing limit is 8’6" (102") in most states — anything over that may need a wide-load permit. Confirm your specific route requirements with each state's DOT.
Which boat has the larger fuel tank — the Larson 240 Cabrio 2010 or the Larson FX 1750 SC O/B 2012?
The Larson 240 Cabrio 2010 has the bigger tank at 84 gallons, versus 23 gallons on the Larson FX 1750 SC O/B 2012. That 61-gallon difference translates to roughly 183–305 nautical miles of additional range at cruising speed, depending on motor, load, and conditions.
Are the Larson 240 Cabrio 2010 and Larson FX 1750 SC O/B 2012 from the same manufacturer?
Yes — both the Larson 240 Cabrio 2010 and the Larson FX 1750 SC O/B 2012 are built by Larson. That means shared dealer networks, common parts availability, and consistent build quality across the line. The choice between them is essentially a question of how much boat you need, not which brand you trust.
