Construction

Better built boats for the best experience on water.

VEC® hulls

Welcome to the world’s only VEC® boat manufacturing plant.

VEC (Virtual Engineered Composites) is a fiberglass molding process used to build boats today. Little Falls, Minnesota is home to the world’s only VEC boat manufacturing plant and Larson is among an elite group of manufacturers to utilize this state-of-the-art technology.

Better performance.

The precision of the VEC process enhances the consistency of the running surface and hull weight for optimal performance and fuel efficiency. The boat feels exceptionally solid in rough water, so handling stays true. Vibration and rattles are virtually eliminated for a smooth, quiet ride. And since the boat is manufactured with precision, other parts, like interior components and windshields, can be made with tighter tolerances for a great fit and long-lasting durability.

Better value.

We offer you a lifetime limited warranty on our boat hulls manufactured with VEC. And it’s transferrable to a second owner, which has been shown to often increase resale value.

SofRide™ hulls

Riding on nearly a century of perfection.

When you see the SofRide name, you know you’re getting a boat that’s built to perform and built to last. That’s because we’ve tapped into our nearly 100 years of experience as innovators in boat building technology to create a smooth ride that’s sure to impress. SofRide is the foundation of Larson’s state-of-the art hull manufacturing techniques. Prepare for the ride of your life.

Duo Delta Conic hulls

Superior efficiency and impressive performance.

This advanced hull design offer boaters an exhilarating performance that’s second to none. A notched running surface creates a wave of water pressure under the aft hull section to lift the transom on acceleration, so you plane faster. At speed, the hull is supported at two smaller points—the notch and transom—allowing the hull to glide over water efficiently. You get a high top speed, excellent stability at low speed, enhanced range and great fuel economy.
