Have owned our Cabrio 280 for little over a year, having owned several brands previously, last one being a SeaRay DA. There are some things I like about the Larson over the SeaRay, and some I thought the SeaRay had the edge. But overall, the match up between all makes I have owned really did not show the huge differences that the advertising copy would like us to believe.
Enjoy the boat, have ton of fun, and be safe.
