Detailed Evaluation & Buyer Recommendation
Larson Cabrio 220 2005 vs Larson Cabrio 777 2012 — Same Brand, Different Boat
The Larson Cabrio 220 2005 vs Larson Cabrio 777 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 Cabrio 777 2012 tops out at 26 hp. Engine specs for the Larson Cabrio 220 2005 aren't listed — confirm with a dealer before selecting an outboard.Fuel capacity breaks the other way: the Larson Cabrio 777 2012 carries 84 gallons versus 6 gallons in the Larson Cabrio 220 2005. 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 Cabrio 777 2012 is rated for 8 passengers, while the Larson Cabrio 220 2005 caps at 6. If you're regularly pulling extended family or a group of friends onto the water, the extra seats on the Larson Cabrio 777 2012 could be the deciding factor.
Bottom line: Choose the Larson Cabrio 777 2012 if your priority is putting more people on the water — it handles 8 passengers and at 25,5 ft it has the deck room to back that rating up comfortably. The Larson Cabrio 220 2005 is the smarter pick if you want a lighter, easier-to-trailer boat rated for 6 that costs less to run day-to-day.
