Detailed Evaluation & Buyer Recommendation
Larson Cabrio 370 Day Cruiser 2009 vs Larson Cabrio 777 2012: Same Brand, Different Boat
The Larson Cabrio 370 Day Cruiser 2009 is a modified-V design and the Larson Cabrio 777 2012 is a deep-V design, so you're likely deciding between two noticeably 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 2009 measures 36,0 feet overall (2009), giving it roughly 10,5 additional feet of deck space compared to the Larson Cabrio 777 2012 at 25,5 feet (2012). Weight tells a clearer story for trailering families: the Larson Cabrio 370 Day Cruiser 2009 tips the scales at 16 800 lbs - 10 950 lbs more than the Larson Cabrio 777 2012 at 5 850 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 777 2012 tops out at 260 hp. Engine specs for the Larson Cabrio 370 Day Cruiser 2009 aren't listed - confirm with a dealer before selecting an outboard.Fuel capacity breaks the other way: the Larson Cabrio 370 Day Cruiser 2009 carries 266 gallons versus 84 gallons in the Larson Cabrio 777 2012. 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 2009 at 36,0 ft is the right call if deck space, comfort, and entertaining are top of your list. The Larson Cabrio 777 2012 at 25,5 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.
