Larson introduces the new 190 LXH OB, a sport boat with the space and comforts of a deck boat. The ultra-modern hull design coupled with a powerful outboard creates an inventive boating solution for Gold Coasters and canal living. The versatility of an outboard allows easy beach access in the shallow, and at wet berth, the engine can be fully tilted out of the water reducing ongoing maintenance cost compared with a stern-drive fitted engine.
Based on customer research, the design of our new LXH series is focused on space and storage, which were the top two priorities of consumers. The shape of the “pickle fork” bow design creates a wider bow than several of the larger Larson boat series. Furthermore, the floor has been dropped five centimetres, allowed by a state-of-the-art, computer-controlled manufacturing process that guarantees that every part is made to the most exacting standards of fit and finish. The resulting parts are unparalleled in beauty and of unprecedented quality.
The new design creates more space and deeper bow storage found under each of the cushions. The bow port and starboard backrests are easily lifted with a gas-assisted hinge to reveal more storage. The hulls added freeboard, which improves safety. With the optional bow 4-step access ladder, water fun is within easy reach—fore or aft. And this is just in the bow.
The decision to use the pickle-fork bow design in essence creates a tri-hull-like running surface. This hull design gives the 190 LXH great on-water performance, greater lift and a quicker time to plane, as well as stability. Drivers are able to easily pull a skier, tuber or wake boarder, or even beat some other similar sized boats to the dock.
The helm is ergonomically laid out to listen to the captain’s demands. Sitting on a standard, high-backed flip-up bolstered helm seat, with a slider and armrests, the captain is not only comfortable, but can easily set the boat’s course for the day. The helm with a car-like inspired design, includes all of the key accessory and rocker switches in easy line of sight to the right and left of the wheel. The ignition, driver’s cup holder, optional stereo remote, and 12v adapter are located on a compact console to the right of the driver’s helm seat.
Continuing with the space and storage theme, the cockpit is full of both. A lockable glove box is located in the passenger console. In the glove box, the optional stereo unit is housed with the standard USB rechargeable plug that can double as your stereo control. Standard stereo is a Boss Bluetooth-enabled head unit.
Under the bench seat, more storage is accessed for life jackets, water toys and dock lines. Further storage is found in the transom walk-thru step and on the sun pad, perfect for fenders, lines or just used as a cooler.
The all-new LXH 190 OB combines attitude with aptitude. Its wide stance and deep cockpit has edgy styling, maximum storage and responsive performance. Larson’s newest creation is up for anything. Are you ready too?
Larson boats are distributed exclusively in Queensland by Wyld About Boats.
