Detailed Evaluation & Buyer Recommendation
Larson Cabrio 220 2007 vs Larson FX 1750 SC O/B 2013 — Same Brand, Different Boat
Matching a modified vee Larson Cabrio 220 2007 against a deep vee Larson FX 1750 SC O/B 2013 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 Cabrio 220 2007 measures 22,0 feet overall (2007), giving it roughly 4,6 additional feet of deck space compared to the Larson FX 1750 SC O/B 2013 at 17,4 feet (2013). Weight tells a clearer story for trailering families: the Larson FX 1750 SC O/B 2013 tips the scales at 1 999 lbs — 1 957 lbs less than the Larson Cabrio 220 2007 at 42 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 Cabrio 220 2007 has a 170-hp advantage over the Larson FX 1750 SC O/B 2013'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 FX 1750 SC O/B 2013 carries 22 gallons versus 6 gallons in the Larson Cabrio 220 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 FX 1750 SC O/B 2013 is rated for 6 passengers, while the Larson Cabrio 220 2007 caps at 1. If you're regularly pulling extended family or a group of friends onto the water, the extra seats on the Larson FX 1750 SC O/B 2013 could be the deciding factor.
Bottom line: Choose the Larson FX 1750 SC O/B 2013 if your priority is putting more people on the water — it handles 6 passengers and at 17,4 ft it has the deck room to back that rating up comfortably. The Larson Cabrio 220 2007 is the smarter pick if you want a lighter, easier-to-trailer boat rated for 1 that costs less to run day-to-day.
