Larson SEi 180: BoatTEST Review

Reviewed by Jeff Hammond

Overview

The Larson 180 SEI Ski and Fish is a versatile runabout designed to accommodate families who enjoy both skiing and fishing. This dual-purpose boat combines functionality with affordability, offering features tailored to active boating lifestyles. Available in both inboard/outboard (I-O) and outboard configurations, the 180 SEI provides flexibility to fit various needs and budgets while maintaining a competitive price point.

Exterior Design and Fishing Features

Measuring 17 feet 6 inches in length overall with a beam of 7 feet 9 inches, the Larson 180 SEI weighs approximately 2,650 pounds and has a draft of 31 inches. The design incorporates a higher windshield to better deflect air away from the cockpit during cooler morning runs to fishing spots. The bow area is convertible from a ski setup to a spacious casting deck by flipping cushions, adding a filler board, and installing a post for a fishing chair. The stern features a wide sun pad that can be removed to create a second casting deck, with an additional seat option for fishing. An optional extended swim platform enhances water access and enjoyment. Storage is abundant, including in-floor compartments that are finished for easy cleaning, though not padded. Below the seats, anglers can store fishing gear, with future models upgrading open boxes to glove compartments for added convenience.

Interior and Helm

The helm area is thoughtfully designed with simulated wood accents on the dash, rocker control switches, and conveniently placed 12-volt sockets located to the left and below the padded tilt steering wheel. The stereo system is protected behind a cover on the right side of the wheel. The rear bench seat flips up to provide access to engine checkpoints, facilitating maintenance and inspection. The boat is equipped with a Lowrance X-51 fish finder as part of an optional fish package, which also includes a trolling motor and a gasketed live well, features typically found on higher-end fishing boats.

Power and Performance

During testing on an inland lake under fair conditions, the Larson 180 SEI was powered by a 190 horsepower Mercruiser 4.3-liter carbureted engine, carrying two people and half a tank of fuel. The boat demonstrated excellent handling and notably low hull noise. It reached planing speed in just 3.8 seconds and exceeded 30 miles per hour in 8.7 seconds. The top speed recorded was 48.7 miles per hour at 4,700 RPM. The most efficient cruising speed was found at 3,000 RPM, where the boat traveled at 28.4 miles per hour, providing an estimated range of 109 miles.

Conclusion

The Larson 180 SEI Ski and Fish presents a compelling option for families seeking a boat capable of both skiing and fishing without sacrificing affordability or performance. Its thoughtful design, practical fishing features, and strong on-water performance make it a versatile choice for active boaters. Even with a modest 4.3-liter carbureted engine, the 180 SEI delivers impressive speed and handling, confirming its suitability as a crossover ski and fish boat.
