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 240 2009 carries 84 gallons versus 29 gallons in the Larson Senza 186 I/O 2007. On a lake day that's negligible, but for coastal cruising or long reservoir runs the extra range matters.

The Larson Senza 186 I/O 2007 at 18,0 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.
