This boat is in very clean condition, and comes with an as-new set of camper canvas as well that has never been used. Turn the key and go... you are not going to find more boat in better condition for the money anywhere in the U.S.!!
If you're in the market for a thirty something cruiser, then you know the choices that are available. Many of the boats on the market all blend together after awhile, but where Larson differs from the rest is mainly on quality of her interior design and execution and on performance. Secondly, if you like to really travel some miles on your trips, then the Cabrio 330 will make you smile when filling her up at the gas dock, because you'll gain plenty of range out of each fill up.
How well does she perform? That's a good question, and the best place to find out is with BoatTEST.com's comparison feature. Just go to the boat test of the Larson Cabrio 330 with the 5.7 L engines, and click on the "Compare" button at the top of the test page Then pick which boats you want to measure her against. We picked five of Larson's most likely competitors. Unfortunately not all were powered by the same 5.7 L 320-hp engine, and when we tested the Larson we had four people aboard instead of the usual 2. Also, the conditions were different during every test which can make a difference in performance. So when using these comparison performance data you must be careful to make sure it is apples to apples. Usually it is not. Nevertheless an astute observer is able to see where a boat might be stronger or weaker than the others. Be that as it may, the comparison gives us a rough idea about how the Cabrio 330 stacks up when it comes to speed because she was loaded on a very hot day, so if anything she was at an unfair advantage.
On a steamy summer day in Florida, with the Larson 330 we reached a top speed of 48 miles-per-hour at 5100 rpm powered by twin Volvo Penta 5.7 L engines. That was 11 mph faster than the WOT we got of her primary competitor which was powered by a pair of 310-hp engines on a boat 1,300-lbs. lighter. That is impressive. In fact she ranked #2 overall at WOT, second only to a boat with a pair of 375-hp engines, or a total of 110-hp more.
At best cruise, which is even more important in our book, the Larson Cabrio went 36.3 mph in our tests, allowing her to rank #1 of the six boats we tested, but #4 in fuel economy as might be expected. Slow her down to the other boats' best cruise speeds and she would burn about the same amount as most. But because the 330's fuel tanks were the largest, she ranked #1 in range of all boats tested at their best cruise speeds.
Our take-away from all of this is: The 5.7 L Volvo Penta package is a good match for this boat. And while she will go slightly faster with larger engines these engines are probably the most economical all around.
