Matching a deep vee Larson LSR 2000 2013 against a modified vee Larson LXi 288 I/O 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.

Size is the most obvious dividing line here. The Larson LXi 288 I/O 2012 measures 29,2 feet overall (2012), giving it roughly 9,1 additional feet of deck space compared to the Larson LSR 2000 2013 at 20,1 feet (2013). Weight tells a clearer story for trailering families: the Larson LXi 288 I/O 2012 tips the scales at 597 lbs — 352 lbs less than the Larson LSR 2000 2013 at 245 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 LXi 288 I/O 2012 tops out at 3 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 1 gallons in the Larson LXi 288 I/O 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.
