Detailed Evaluation & Buyer Recommendation
Larson LSR 2000 2013 vs Larson LX 860 O/B 2012 — Same Brand, Different Boat
Matching a deep vee Larson LSR 2000 2013 against a modified vee Larson LX 860 O/B 2012 means you're likely deciding between two genuinely different on-water experiences. Hull type shapes everything from ride quality and fuel burn to dock handling and resale trajectory.
On paper these two are close siblings in the size department — Larson LSR 2000 2013 at 20,1 ft versus Larson LX 860 O/B 2012 at 18,5 ft. At 245 lbs and 178 lbs respectively, both sit in a similar weight class — either should pair comfortably with most mid-size SUVs and half-ton trucks, though always confirm your specific tow rating with the motor added.
The Larson LX 860 O/B 2012 tops out at 150 hp. Engine specs for the Larson LSR 2000 2013 aren't listed — confirm with a dealer before selecting an outboard.Fuel capacity breaks the other way: the Larson LSR 2000 2013 carries 19 gallons versus 3 gallons in the Larson LX 860 O/B 2012. On a lake day that's negligible, but for coastal cruising or long reservoir runs the extra range matters.
Both boats are rated for 8 passengers — a good fit for a family of four or five plus guests. Comfort at capacity is another matter; the longer hull typically means more seat options and better weight distribution.
Bottom line: The Larson LSR 2000 2013 and Larson LX 860 O/B 2012 are closely matched on the specs that matter most. Test-ride both on the water you actually use, check current dealer pricing, and factor in long-term service access before you sign.
