Detailed Evaluation & Buyer Recommendation
Larson FX 1750 DC O/B 2013 vs Larson LXi 258 2013 — Which Deep Vee Fits Your Needs?
When two boats share the same hull type — in this case both the Larson FX 1750 DC O/B 2013 and the Larson LXi 258 2013 are deep vee designs with composite 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 LXi 258 2013 measures 25,5 feet overall (2013), giving it roughly 8,1 additional feet of deck space compared to the Larson FX 1750 DC O/B 2013 at 17,4 feet (2013). Weight tells a clearer story for trailering families: the Larson FX 1750 DC O/B 2013 tips the scales at 2 133 lbs — 1 658 lbs more than the Larson LXi 258 2013 at 475 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 FX 1750 DC O/B 2013 carries a rated maximum of 150 hp. Engine data for the Larson LXi 258 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 258 2013 carries 57 gallons versus 22 gallons in the Larson FX 1750 DC O/B 2013. 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 LXi 258 2013 is rated for 12 passengers, while the Larson FX 1750 DC O/B 2013 caps at 6. If you're regularly pulling extended family or a group of friends onto the water, the extra seats on the Larson LXi 258 2013 could be the deciding factor.
Bottom line: Choose the Larson LXi 258 2013 if your priority is putting more people on the water — it handles 12 passengers and at 25,5 ft it has the deck room to back that rating up comfortably. The Larson FX 1750 DC O/B 2013 is the smarter pick if you want a lighter, easier-to-trailer boat rated for 6 that costs less to run day-to-day.
