    Fuel Gauge Issues (Both gauge and sender have been replaced)

    I've been trying to get my fuel gauge to work reliably since I bought my 03 Larson 274 6 months ago. It works sometimes when on the trailer, but almost never when it's in the water. I replaced the gauge first, then the sender but it still doesn't work most of the time. The wiring that I can...

    Cabrio 274 Window Unit Install

    I bought this boat in Feb which originally came from Seattle. It had no AC, but in the Houston area, AC is a must for sleeping on the boat in the summer. I couldn't help but wonder if a small cheap window unit could be tastefully installed on this boat, saving 1000's over installing a Marine...

    TV install in Cabrio 274

    I've had my 274 for a few months now and always thought the flat bow wall in the cabin was a perfect spot for a flat screen. I don't have a generator (yet) so low power consumption was important, which is easy to find with today's LED backlit TV's. I purchased a 26" Magnavox from Fry's for...

    VP 5.7Gi-D Oil Pan Replacement

    I recently purchased a '03 Larson 274 Cabrio that has a bad oil leak through corrosion in the pan. I was going to have a shop do the work, but after getting a $2200 estimate, and some serious attitude, I picked the boat up and decided to tackle it myself. I have found at least one individual...

    New 274 Owner

    Re: New 274 Owner Rusty, Thanks for the info. I'm surprised by the location of your AC. I've seen pictures of other 274s for sale on various sites, and they seem to have vents in the side of the kitchen cabinets and controls next to the electric panel, which supports the behind the fridge...

    New 274 Owner

    Just purchased a 2003 274 Cabrio, a couple of weeks ago. Ive had it out twice, both overnight outtings and love the boat so far. First outing on a lake, second was on Galveston Bay with 25mph+ winds. Everything was great until we ran out of gas and started blowing fast towards the rocky...
