Detailed Evaluation & Buyer Recommendation
Larson Cabrio 220 2004 vs Larson FX 1750 SC O/B 2012: Same Brand, Different Boat
The Larson Cabrio 220 2004 vs Larson FX 1750 SC O/B 2012 comparison sits squarely in the category of decisions where specs alone won't tell the whole story: intended use, storage, and long-term ownership costs all factor in.
The Larson FX 1750 SC O/B 2012 tops out at 150 hp. Engine specs for the Larson Cabrio 220 2004 aren't listed - confirm with a dealer before selecting an outboard.Fuel capacity breaks the other way: the Larson Cabrio 220 2004 carries 60 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.
Both boats are rated for 6 passengers - a good fit for a family of four or five plus guests. Comfort at capacity is another matter; the longer hull typically means more seat options and better weight distribution.
Bottom line: The Larson Cabrio 220 2004 and Larson FX 1750 SC O/B 2012 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.
