Larson Cabrio 370 2009 vs Larson Senza 186 2009 — Which Modified Vee Fits Your Needs?

When two boats share the same hull type — in this case both the Larson Cabrio 370 2009 and the Larson Senza 186 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 370 2009 measures 36,0 feet overall (2009), giving it roughly 18,0 additional feet of deck space compared to the Larson Senza 186 2009 at 18,0 feet (2009). Weight tells a clearer story for trailering families: the Larson Cabrio 370 2009 tips the scales at 168 lbs — 141 lbs more than the Larson Senza 186 2009 at 27 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 370 2009 at 36,0 ft is the right call if deck space, comfort, and entertaining are top of your list. The Larson Senza 186 2009 at 18,0 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.
