Detailed Evaluation & Buyer Recommendation
Larson Cabrio 220 2009 vs Larson Cabrio 310 2011 — Same Brand, Different Boat
Matching a modified vee Larson Cabrio 220 2009 against a deep vee Larson Cabrio 310 2011 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 310 2011 measures 31,0 feet overall (2011), giving it roughly 9,0 additional feet of deck space compared to the Larson Cabrio 220 2009 at 22,0 feet (2009). At 42 lbs and 104 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 310 2011 tops out at 320 hp. Engine specs for the Larson Cabrio 220 2009 aren't listed — confirm with a dealer before selecting an outboard.Fuel capacity breaks the other way: the Larson Cabrio 310 2011 carries 16 gallons versus 6 gallons in the Larson Cabrio 220 2009. 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 310 2011 is rated for 9 passengers, while the Larson Cabrio 220 2009 caps at 1. If you're regularly pulling extended family or a group of friends onto the water, the extra seats on the Larson Cabrio 310 2011 could be the deciding factor.
Bottom line: Choose the Larson Cabrio 310 2011 if your priority is putting more people on the water — it handles 9 passengers and at 31,0 ft it has the deck room to back that rating up comfortably. The Larson Cabrio 220 2009 is the smarter pick if you want a lighter, easier-to-trailer boat rated for 1 that costs less to run day-to-day.
