Detailed Evaluation & Buyer Recommendation
Larson Cabrio 220 2008 vs Larson LSR 2000 2013: Same Brand, Different Boat
The Larson Cabrio 220 2008 is a modified-V design and the Larson LSR 2000 2013 is a deep-V design, so you're likely deciding between two noticeably different on-water experiences. Hull type shapes everything from ride quality and fuel burn to dock handling and resale trajectory.
On paper these two are close siblings in the size department - Larson Cabrio 220 2008 at 22,0 ft versus Larson LSR 2000 2013 at 20,1 ft. Weight tells a clearer story for trailering families: the Larson Cabrio 220 2008 tips the scales at 4 200 lbs - 1 750 lbs more than the Larson LSR 2000 2013 at 2 450 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 Cabrio 220 2008 carries a rated maximum of 320 hp. Engine data for the Larson LSR 2000 2013 wasn't available in our records - check the manufacturer's spec sheet before sizing a motor.Fuel capacity breaks the other way: the Larson Cabrio 220 2008 carries 60 gallons versus 19 gallons in the Larson LSR 2000 2013. 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 220 2008 is rated for 10 passengers, while the Larson LSR 2000 2013 caps at 8. If you're regularly pulling extended family or a group of friends onto the water, the extra seats on the Larson Cabrio 220 2008 could be the deciding factor.
Bottom line: Choose the Larson Cabrio 220 2008 if your priority is putting more people on the water - it handles 10 passengers and at 22,0 ft it has the deck room to back that rating up comfortably. The Larson LSR 2000 2013 is the smarter pick if you want a lighter, easier-to-trailer boat rated for 8 that costs less to run day-to-day.
