The Larson FX 1750 TL O/B 2013 is a deep-V design and the Larson LXi 288 2009 is a modified-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 LXi 288 2009 measures 29,0 feet overall (2009), giving it roughly 11,6 additional feet of deck space compared to the Larson FX 1750 TL O/B 2013 at 17,4 feet (2013). Weight tells a clearer story for trailering families: the Larson LXi 288 2009 tips the scales at 6 225 lbs - 4 253 lbs less than the Larson FX 1750 TL O/B 2013 at 1 972 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 TL O/B 2013 carries a rated maximum of 90 hp. Engine data for the Larson LXi 288 2009 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 288 2009 carries 100 gallons versus 22 gallons in the Larson FX 1750 TL 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 288 2009 is rated for 8 passengers, while the Larson FX 1750 TL 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 288 2009 could be the deciding factor.
