Larson Cabrio 330 2009 vs Larson SEi 180 Ski Fish 2009 — Which Modified Vee Fits Your Needs?

When two boats share the same hull type — in this case both the Larson Cabrio 330 2009 and the Larson SEi 180 Ski Fish 2009 are modified vee designs with fiberglass construction — the buying decision usually comes down to a handful of practical questions: how many people are you putting on the water, how far do you trailer, and what does your tow vehicle weigh?

Size is the most obvious dividing line here. The Larson Cabrio 330 2009 measures 32,0 feet overall (2009), giving it roughly 15,0 additional feet of deck space compared to the Larson SEi 180 Ski Fish 2009 at 17,0 feet (2009). Weight tells a clearer story for trailering families: the Larson SEi 180 Ski Fish 2009 tips the scales at 265 lbs — 151 lbs less than the Larson Cabrio 330 2009 at 114 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.

Bottom line: The Larson Cabrio 330 2009 at 32,0 ft is the right call if deck space, comfort, and entertaining are top of your list. The Larson SEi 180 Ski Fish 2009 at 17,0 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.
