Detailed Evaluation & Buyer Recommendation
Larson Cabrio 265 2013 vs Larson Cabrio 350 2007: Same Brand, Different Boat
The Larson Cabrio 265 2013 is a deep-V design and the Larson Cabrio 350 2007 is a modified-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 350 2007 measures 36,0 feet overall (2007), giving it roughly 10,5 additional feet of deck space compared to the Larson Cabrio 265 2013 at 25,5 feet (2013). Weight tells a clearer story for trailering families: the Larson Cabrio 350 2007 tips the scales at 14 000 lbs - 8 150 lbs less than the Larson Cabrio 265 2013 at 5 850 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 350 2007 tops out at 350 hp. Engine specs for the Larson Cabrio 265 2013 aren't listed - confirm with a dealer before selecting an outboard.Fuel capacity breaks the other way: the Larson Cabrio 350 2007 carries 230 gallons versus 76 gallons in the Larson Cabrio 265 2013. 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 350 2007 is rated for 11 passengers, while the Larson Cabrio 265 2013 caps at 8. If you're regularly pulling extended family or a group of friends onto the water, the extra seats on the Larson Cabrio 350 2007 could be the deciding factor.
Bottom line: Choose the Larson Cabrio 350 2007 if your priority is putting more people on the water - it handles 11 passengers and at 36,0 ft it has the deck room to back that rating up comfortably. The Larson Cabrio 265 2013 is the smarter pick if you want a lighter, easier-to-trailer boat rated for 8 that costs less to run day-to-day.
