## Brief Summary

When you are a boat company that has produced lake boats successfully for many years and find you want to deliver products that are purpose built for the bigger waters and the salty seas, what do you do? Larson started from a clean slate, hired a designer with years of successful experience and now has the answer, the LXi. I tested the 218 LXi, the 238 LXi, and the 258 LXi in Sanibel, Florida and up on East Gull Lake in Indiana.  
  
You will find many similarities between each model, except that the 258 includes a wet bar, and the 238 includes a head compartment on the port side. Don’t look for sole lockers, Larson eliminated them and put the storage where you use it. One of my favorite items was the rumble seat on the larger boats where I could sit back and watch a sunset with a cold beverage! Performance? You bet!
