Matching a deep vee Larson LXi 238 I/O 2013 against a modified vee Larson Senza 206 I/O 2008 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 238 I/O 2013 measures 23,5 feet overall (2013), giving it roughly 21,5 additional feet of deck space compared to the Larson Senza 206 I/O 2008 at 2,0 feet (2008). Weight tells a clearer story for trailering families: the Larson LXi 238 I/O 2013 tips the scales at 444 lbs — 129 lbs more than the Larson Senza 206 I/O 2008 at 315 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 Senza 206 I/O 2008 tops out at 320 hp. Engine specs for the Larson LXi 238 I/O 2013 aren't listed — confirm with a dealer before selecting an outboard.Fuel capacity breaks the other way: the Larson LXi 238 I/O 2013 carries 57 gallons versus 35 gallons in the Larson Senza 206 I/O 2008. On a lake day that's negligible, but for coastal cruising or long reservoir runs the extra range matters.
Both boats are rated for 1 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 LXi 238 I/O 2013 at 23,5 ft is the right call if deck space, comfort, and entertaining are top of your list. The Larson Senza 206 I/O 2008 at 2,0 ft wins on trailering ease, likely lower purchase price, and simpler docking — a solid choice for a buyer who wants more boat for less money.
