Detailed Evaluation & Buyer Recommendation
Larson Cabrio 350 2009 vs Larson LX 195 S I/O 2013 — Same Brand, Different Boat
Matching a modified vee Larson Cabrio 350 2009 against a deep vee Larson LX 195 S 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 2009 measures 36,0 feet overall (2009), giving it roughly 15,9 additional feet of deck space compared to the Larson LX 195 S I/O 2013 at 20,1 feet (2013). Weight tells a clearer story for trailering families: the Larson LX 195 S I/O 2013 tips the scales at 245 lbs — 231 lbs less than the Larson Cabrio 350 2009 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.
Bottom line: The Larson Cabrio 350 2009 at 36,0 ft is the right call if deck space, comfort, and entertaining are top of your list. The Larson LX 195 S I/O 2013 at 20,1 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.
