Larson Cabrio 265 2013 vs Larson Cabrio 370 2008 — Same Brand, Different Boat
Matching a deep vee Larson Cabrio 265 2013 against a modified vee Larson Cabrio 370 2008 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.

The Larson Cabrio 370 2008 measures 36,0 feet overall (2008), 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 265 2013 tips the scales at 585 lbs — 417 lbs more than the Larson Cabrio 370 2008 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 Larson Cabrio 370 2008 tops out at 420 hp.

Bottom line: The Larson Cabrio 370 2008 at 36,0 ft is the right call if deck space, comfort, and entertaining are top of your list.
