The Larson Cabrio 370 Day Cruiser 2008 has the bigger tank at 266 gallons, versus 35 gallons on the Larson FX 2050 SC O/B 2013. That 231-gallon difference translates to roughly 693–1155 nautical miles of additional range at cruising speed, depending on motor, load, and conditions.

Detailed Evaluation & Buyer Recommendation

Larson Cabrio 370 Day Cruiser 2008 vs Larson FX 2050 SC O/B 2013 — Same Brand, Different Boat

Matching a modified vee Larson Cabrio 370 Day Cruiser 2008 against a deep vee Larson FX 2050 SC O/B 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 370 Day Cruiser 2008 measures 36,0 feet overall (2008), giving it roughly 15,8 additional feet of deck space compared to the Larson FX 2050 SC O/B 2013 at 20,2 feet (2013). Weight tells a clearer story for trailering families: the Larson FX 2050 SC O/B 2013 tips the scales at 2 774 lbs — 2 606 lbs less than the Larson Cabrio 370 Day Cruiser 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 power gap is worth calling out. Rated to 420 hp, the Larson Cabrio 370 Day Cruiser 2008 has a 170-hp advantage over the Larson FX 2050 SC O/B 2013's 250-hp ceiling — enough to notice on acceleration and at cruising speed, particularly with a full passenger load. Fuel capacity breaks the other way: the Larson Cabrio 370 Day Cruiser 2008 carries 266 gallons versus 35 gallons in the Larson FX 2050 SC O/B 2013. On a lake day that's negligible, but for coastal cruising or long reservoir runs the extra range matters.

Bottom line: The Larson Cabrio 370 Day Cruiser 2008 at 36,0 ft is the right call if deck space, comfort, and entertaining are top of your list. The Larson FX 2050 SC O/B 2013 at 20,2 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.
