Research Larson Boats LXi 228 IO Bowrider Boat

~Leave the world behind, but don’t forget the luxury. Sleek and spacious, the 228 offers power options up to 320 HP so it also looks great on the fly. The luxurious interior surrounds you with a roomy cockpit and bow seating space. Underfoot, the plush, snap-in berber cockpit carpeting is stain and mildew resistant. And the patterns and sculpted shapes of the interior complement the hull and deck, so everything comes together in a way that leaves the world – and ordinary runabouts – behind.
