Larson 288: BoatTEST Review
Overview
The Larson LXI 288 is a contemporary bow rider designed to compete with leading dayboat manufacturers by offering a blend of performance, distinctive styling, and high-quality construction. It comes backed by a lifetime warranty on the hull and a five-year warranty on all components, including engines and trailers, underscoring Larson's commitment to durability and customer assurance.
Exterior Design and Deck Features
Boarding the LXI 288 is most convenient via the swim platform, which features a concealed swim ladder and a transom shower to refresh passengers after water activities. The port side houses a deep wet locker ideal for storing ski ropes and lines. The aft sun pad is thoughtfully designed with a centerline walkthrough and a removable step cushion, flanked by two large storage bins on either side of the transom, providing ample space for personal flotation devices and other bulky gear. Forward, the bow exhibits distinctive styling with four front lights, pop-up cleats on both sides, stainless steel grab rails, and a standard Maxwell windlass equipped with a plow anchor. The bow seating area comfortably accommodates three adults with curvaceous lounges on both sides, padded backrests, and hinged storage lockers secured with positive lock hardware. Additional amenities include a self-draining beverage cooler, stereo speakers, multiple cup holders, and the option to install a small table or filler cushions to create a plush sun pad.
Cockpit and Helm
The cockpit offers extensive storage solutions beneath the port and starboard seat cushions, complemented by a 25-quart cooler and an air pump for water toys. Seating arrangements are versatile, allowing conversion from a sitting area to a lounge or the installation of a removable table for entertaining. The helm station is equipped with a comprehensive array of analog gauges and accessory switches integrated into a sleek, brushed steel dash. Comfort is prioritized with a sporty steering wheel featuring tilt adjustment and premium bucket seats with flip-up bolsters for both captain and companion.
Private Accommodations and Amenities
A standout feature of the LXI 288 is its deluxe head compartment, which offers generous space, a flush toilet, and a granite-style countertop for the vanity. The door is thoughtfully designed with built-in paper and towel holders as well as a magazine rack, enhancing convenience and comfort during outings.
Power and Performance
Measuring 29 feet, 2.5 inches in length with a beam of 9 feet and weighing 6,225 pounds, the LXI 288 demands substantial power to maximize its capabilities. While it can be equipped with more economical engines, the test model featured a robust 420-horsepower Volvo Penta powerplant. This setup delivered an ideal balance of power and handling, making the boat easy to drive and providing a smooth ride. The LXI cruised comfortably at 26.9 mph and achieved a top speed of 50.3 mph, demonstrating confident performance suitable for an ultimate bow rider experience.
Conclusion
The Larson LXI 288 presents itself as a well-rounded luxury bow rider that combines thoughtful design, ample storage, comfortable accommodations, and strong performance. Its distinctive styling and comprehensive features make it a competitive option in the dayboat market, particularly when paired with adequate power to fully exploit its capabilities.
