Detailed Evaluation & Buyer Recommendation
Larson Cabrio 240 2008 vs Larson Cabrio 370 2011 — Same Brand, Different Boat
Matching a modified vee Larson Cabrio 240 2008 against a deep vee Larson Cabrio 370 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 370 2011 measures 36,9 feet overall (2011), giving it roughly 12,9 additional feet of deck space compared to the Larson Cabrio 240 2008 at 24,0 feet (2008). Weight tells a clearer story for trailering families: the Larson Cabrio 240 2008 tips the scales at 575 lbs — 407 lbs more than the Larson Cabrio 370 2011 at 168 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 420 hp, the Larson Cabrio 370 2011 has a 100-hp advantage over the Larson Cabrio 240 2008's 320-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 Cabrio 370 2011 carries 266 gallons versus 84 gallons in the Larson Cabrio 240 2008. On a lake day that's negligible, but for coastal cruising or long reservoir runs the extra range matters.
Bottom line: The Larson Cabrio 370 2011 at 36,9 ft is the right call if deck space, comfort, and entertaining are top of your list. The Larson Cabrio 240 2008 at 24,0 ft wins on trailering ease, likely lower purchase price, and simpler docking — a solid choice for a buyer who wants more boat for less money.
