Larson Cabrio 240 2009 vs Larson Cabrio 370 2011: Which Deep-V Boat Fits Your Needs?

Both the Larson Cabrio 240 2009 and the Larson Cabrio 370 2011 are deep-V designs, both built in fibreglass, so the buying decision usually comes down to a handful of practical questions: how many people are you putting on the water, how far do you trailer, and what does your tow vehicle weigh?

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 2009 at 24,0 feet (2009). Weight tells a clearer story for trailering families: the Larson Cabrio 370 2011 tips the scales at 16 800 lbs - 11 050 lbs less than the Larson Cabrio 240 2009 at 5 750 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 370 2011 tops out at 420 hp. Engine specs for the Larson Cabrio 240 2009 aren't listed - confirm with a dealer before selecting an outboard.Fuel capacity breaks the other way: the Larson Cabrio 370 2011 carries 266 gallons versus 84 gallons in the Larson Cabrio 240 2009. 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 2009 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.
