Detailed Evaluation & Buyer Recommendation
Larson Cabrio 260 2009 vs Larson FX 1750 DC O/B 2013: Same Brand, Different Boat
The Larson Cabrio 260 2009 is a modified-V design and the Larson FX 1750 DC O/B 2013 is a deep-V design, so you're likely deciding between two noticeably 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 260 2009 measures 26,0 feet overall (2009), giving it roughly 8,6 additional feet of deck space compared to the Larson FX 1750 DC O/B 2013 at 17,4 feet (2013). Weight tells a clearer story for trailering families: the Larson Cabrio 260 2009 tips the scales at 6 460 lbs - 4 327 lbs more than the Larson FX 1750 DC O/B 2013 at 2 133 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 FX 1750 DC O/B 2013 tops out at 150 hp. Engine specs for the Larson Cabrio 260 2009 aren't listed - confirm with a dealer before selecting an outboard.Fuel capacity breaks the other way: the Larson Cabrio 260 2009 carries 84 gallons versus 22 gallons in the Larson FX 1750 DC O/B 2013. On a lake day that's negligible, but for coastal cruising or long reservoir runs the extra range matters.
Bottom line: The Larson Cabrio 260 2009 at 26,0 ft is the right call if deck space, comfort, and entertaining are top of your list. The Larson FX 1750 DC O/B 2013 at 17,4 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.
