Detailed Evaluation & Buyer Recommendation
Larson All American 23 2013 vs Larson SEi 180 Ski Fish O/B 2007 — Same Brand, Different Boat
Matching a deep vee Larson All American 23 2013 against a modified vee Larson SEi 180 Ski Fish O/B 2007 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 All American 23 2013 measures 23,0 feet overall (2013), giving it roughly 6,0 additional feet of deck space compared to the Larson SEi 180 Ski Fish O/B 2007 at 17,0 feet (2007). Weight tells a clearer story for trailering families: the Larson All American 23 2013 tips the scales at 3 495 lbs — 3 478 lbs more than the Larson SEi 180 Ski Fish O/B 2007 at 17 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 SEi 180 Ski Fish O/B 2007 tops out at 150 hp. Engine specs for the Larson All American 23 2013 aren't listed — confirm with a dealer before selecting an outboard.Fuel capacity breaks the other way: the Larson All American 23 2013 carries 32 gallons versus 23 gallons in the Larson SEi 180 Ski Fish O/B 2007. 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 SEi 180 Ski Fish O/B 2007 is rated for 6 passengers, while the Larson All American 23 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 SEi 180 Ski Fish O/B 2007 could be the deciding factor.
Bottom line: Choose the Larson SEi 180 Ski Fish O/B 2007 if your priority is putting more people on the water — it handles 6 passengers and at 17,0 ft it has the deck room to back that rating up comfortably. The Larson All American 23 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.
