Detailed Evaluation & Buyer Recommendation
Larson 370 Cabrio 2010 vs Larson Cabrio 857 2011 — Same Brand, Different Boat
Matching a modified vee Larson 370 Cabrio 2010 against a deep vee Larson Cabrio 857 2011 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 370 Cabrio 2010 measures 36,9 feet overall (2010), giving it roughly 8,8 additional feet of deck space compared to the Larson Cabrio 857 2011 at 28,2 feet (2011). Weight tells a clearer story for trailering families: the Larson Cabrio 857 2011 tips the scales at 665 lbs — 497 lbs less than the Larson 370 Cabrio 2010 at 168 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.
Both boats share a closely matched power ceiling — 420 hp for the Larson 370 Cabrio 2010 and 400 hp for the Larson Cabrio 857 2011. 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. Fuel capacity breaks the other way: the Larson 370 Cabrio 2010 carries 266 gallons versus 84 gallons in the Larson Cabrio 857 2011. On a lake day that's negligible, but for coastal cruising or long reservoir runs the extra range matters.
Bottom line: The Larson 370 Cabrio 2010 at 36,9 ft is the right call if deck space, comfort, and entertaining are top of your list. The Larson Cabrio 857 2011 at 28,2 ft wins on trailering ease, likely lower purchase price, and simpler docking — a solid choice for a buyer who wants more boat for less money.
