Both the Larson LSR 2000 2013 and the Larson LSR 2300 2013 are deep-V designs, both built in composite, so 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?
On paper these two are close siblings in the size department - Larson LSR 2000 2013 at 20,1 ft versus Larson LSR 2300 2013 at 23,1 ft. Weight tells a clearer story for trailering families: the Larson LSR 2300 2013 tips the scales at 3 100 lbs - 650 lbs less than the Larson LSR 2000 2013 at 2 450 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.
For family outings this is probably the sharpest distinction between the two. The Larson LSR 2300 2013 is rated for 10 passengers, while the Larson LSR 2000 2013 caps at 8. If you're regularly pulling extended family or a group of friends onto the water, the extra seats on the Larson LSR 2300 2013 could be the deciding factor.
Bottom line: Choose the Larson LSR 2300 2013 if your priority is putting more people on the water - it handles 10 passengers and at 23,1 ft it has the deck room to back that rating up comfortably. The Larson LSR 2000 2013 is the smarter pick if you want a lighter, easier-to-trailer boat rated for 8 that costs less to run day-to-day.
