Larson Cabrio 220 2008 vs Larson LSR 2300 2013 — Same Brand, Different Boat
Matching a modified vee Larson Cabrio 220 2008 against a deep vee Larson LSR 2300 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.
On paper these two are close siblings in the size department — Larson Cabrio 220 2008 at 22,0 ft versus Larson LSR 2300 2013 at 23,1 ft. At 42 lbs and 31 lbs respectively, both sit in a similar weight class — either should pair comfortably with most mid-size SUVs and half-ton trucks, though always confirm your specific tow rating with the motor added.
The Larson Cabrio 220 2008 carries a rated maximum of 320 hp. Engine data for the Larson LSR 2300 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 LSR 2300 2013 carries 36 gallons versus 6 gallons in the Larson Cabrio 220 2008. On a lake day that's negligible, but for coastal cruising or long reservoir runs the extra range matters.
Both boats are rated for 1 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 2008 and Larson LSR 2300 2013 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.
