The Larson LXi 238 I/O 2013 has the bigger tank at 57 gallons, versus 23 gallons on the Larson Cabrio 350 2007. That 34-gallon difference translates to roughly 102–170 nautical miles of additional range at cruising speed, depending on motor, load, and conditions.

Q: Are the Larson Cabrio 350 2007 and Larson LXi 238 I/O 2013 from the same manufacturer?

Yes — both the Larson Cabrio 350 2007 and the Larson LXi 238 I/O 2013 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 350 2007 vs Larson LXi 238 I/O 2013 — Same Brand, Different Boat

Matching a modified vee Larson Cabrio 350 2007 against a deep vee Larson LXi 238 I/O 2013 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.

Size is the most obvious dividing line here. The Larson Cabrio 350 2007 measures 36,0 feet overall (2007), giving it roughly 12,5 additional feet of deck space compared to the Larson LXi 238 I/O 2013 at 23,5 feet (2013). Weight tells a clearer story for trailering families: the Larson LXi 238 I/O 2013 tips the scales at 444 lbs — 430 lbs less than the Larson Cabrio 350 2007 at 14 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 carries a rated maximum of 350 hp. Engine data for the Larson LXi 238 I/O 2013 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 238 I/O 2013 carries 57 gallons versus 23 gallons in the Larson Cabrio 350 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 350 2007 is rated for 11 passengers, while the Larson LXi 238 I/O 2013 caps at 1. 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 LXi 238 I/O 2013 is the smarter pick if you want a lighter, easier-to-trailer boat rated for 1 that costs less to run day-to-day.
