Larson Cabrio 330 2007 vs Larson LXi 268 2005 - Boat Spec Comparison

Q: Which is easier to trailer — the Larson Cabrio 330 2007 or the Larson LXi 268 2005?

For trailering, the Larson LXi 268 2005 has the edge at 41 lbs dry weight versus 114 lbs for the Larson Cabrio 330 2007. Add a motor (typically 300–500 lbs for an outboard in this class), gear, and a partial fuel load and the difference grows. Lighter is friendlier on smaller tow vehicles and on fuel economy while hauling.

Q: What is the maximum horsepower rating for these boats?

The Larson Cabrio 330 2007 has a documented max rating of 320 hp. Engine specifications for the Larson LXi 268 2005 were not available in our database — check the OEM spec sheet or manufacturer's website for confirmation.

Q: How many people can each boat hold?

The Larson Cabrio 330 2007 is Coast Guard rated for 9 passengers, while the Larson LXi 268 2005 is certified for 8. Note that legal capacity and comfortable capacity aren't always the same thing — on a full day out, most experienced boaters aim for about 80% of the rated number to keep things comfortable.

Q: Which boat is wider, and does it affect trailering?

The Larson Cabrio 330 2007 measures 138" wide, compared to 102" for the Larson LXi 268 2005. The US standard-width towing limit is 8’6" (102") in most states — anything over that may need a wide-load permit. Confirm your specific route requirements with each state's DOT.

Q: Which boat has the larger fuel tank — the Larson Cabrio 330 2007 or the Larson LXi 268 2005?

The Larson LXi 268 2005 has the bigger tank at 56 gallons, versus 24 gallons on the Larson Cabrio 330 2007. That 32-gallon difference translates to roughly 96–160 nautical miles of additional range at cruising speed, depending on motor, load, and conditions.

Q: Are the Larson Cabrio 330 2007 and Larson LXi 268 2005 from the same manufacturer?

Yes — both the Larson Cabrio 330 2007 and the Larson LXi 268 2005 are built by Larson. That means shared dealer networks, common parts availability, and consistent build quality across the line. The choice between them is essentially a question of how much boat you need, not which brand you trust.

Detailed Evaluation & Buyer Recommendation

Larson Cabrio 330 2007 vs Larson LXi 268 2005 — Same Brand, Different Boat

The Larson Cabrio 330 2007 vs Larson LXi 268 2005 comparison sits squarely in the category of decisions where specs alone won't tell the whole story — intended use, storage, and long-term ownership costs all factor in.

The Larson Cabrio 330 2007 carries a rated maximum of 320 hp. Engine data for the Larson LXi 268 2005 wasn't available in our records — check the manufacturer's spec sheet before sizing a motor.Fuel capacity breaks the other way: the Larson LXi 268 2005 carries 56 gallons versus 24 gallons in the Larson Cabrio 330 2007. 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 330 2007 is rated for 9 passengers, while the Larson LXi 268 2005 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 330 2007 could be the deciding factor.

Bottom line: Choose the Larson Cabrio 330 2007 if your priority is putting more people on the water — it handles 9 passengers and at 32,0 ft it has the deck room to back that rating up comfortably. The Larson LXi 268 2005 is the smarter pick if you want a lighter, easier-to-trailer boat rated for 8 that costs less to run day-to-day.
