The engine we see most often on this model is Carbureted 2-stroke outboard (legacy).
BoatVerdict market snapshot
These are asking prices. No free or public source publishes US used-boat transaction prices, so nobody — us included — can honestly show you what these boats sold for. What we can show you is what 24 sellers are asking, which is the number you are actually negotiating against.
24 priced listings across 8 states. Enough for a range, not enough to be precise about any single year.
Method: Asking prices from active listings, de-duplicated so a re-posted boat counts once (54 raw listings collapsed to 24 distinct boats). Quartiles, not averages, so one outlier cannot move the band. Rounded to $500.
Coverage: Model years 1964–1993, 8 states, 13 metro areas. New-boat listings excluded.

The BoatVerdict take
- BoatVerdict listing data
Supply is concentrated: our 24 listings came from only 8 states, led by MN. Expect a smaller buyer pool at resale, and budget for transport if the right boat is not local.
- Recall (USCG/CPSC)
13 federal recall campaigns on file touch this builder. Check the specific hull against the recall list below before you put money down; remedies are free but only if the work was actually done.
Each point is tagged with the evidence behind it. Nothing here is a claim we cannot trace back to a counted listing, a federal record, or a named analyst judgement.
Larson All American prices by model year
| Model year | Listings | Typical asking range | Median asking | Relative |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 1993 | 4 | $2,000 – $10,000 | $2,500 | |
| 1992 | 2 | 2 priced — too few to publish a range | — | |
| 1991 | 8 | $3,500 – $5,000 | $4,000 |
Asking prices from active listings we observed, not sold prices. No public source publishes US used-boat transaction prices; anyone showing you "sold" data for this market is estimating it. Years with fewer than 3 priced listings show the count only.
Method: Median and quartiles per model year, computed only where at least 3 priced listings exist for that year.

Recalls affecting Larson
13 federal recall campaigns on file. Recalls are issued against hull-identification ranges, so a campaign listed here may or may not cover the specific boat you are looking at — check the HIN. Remedies are free from the builder, but only if the work was actually performed, and there is no central database that proves it was.

Engines we actually see on the All American
- Carbureted 2-stroke outboard (legacy)
Pre-DI carbureted 2-strokes (and Evinrude/Johnson, now an orphaned brand for parts/service). Simple and cheap to buy, but thirsty, smoky, and a resale anchor. An older 2-stroke is the single biggest reason a hull sits unsold.
Service reality: Compression-test every cylinder; expect carb work. On any Evinrude/Johnson, confirm local parts and service availability before buying.

Method: Engine family matched from the listing's engine fields and title text against BoatVerdict's engine-family profiles. Prevalence is share of our sample, not factory fitment rates.

What to inspect on a used Larson All American
- Carbureted 2-stroke outboard (legacy): Compression-test every cylinder; expect carb work. On any Evinrude/Johnson, confirm local parts and service availability before buying. Seen on 3 of the 24 All American listings we track.
- Get the hour meter reading and divide by the boat's age. Above 100 hours a year is heavy use for a Carbureted 2-stroke outboard (legacy). Threshold from BoatVerdict's engine-family profile for Carbureted 2-stroke outboard (legacy).
- On the older hulls, core moisture is the deal-breaker: sound the transom and the deck with a plastic mallet, and treat any soft or dull-sounding area as a survey-stopper rather than a bargaining chip. We observe listings back to 1991, so boats over 35 years old are actively traded in this model.
This list is specific to this model: analyst items for the hull, plus items driven by the engines and the regions we actually observe on All American listings. It is not a generic pre-purchase checklist, and it does not replace a surveyor.
What a All American costs to own
$1,500 – $4,000 per year
- 19 ft hull, the median observed length for this model
- Freshwater berth, based on where most listings we see are located (MN)
- Includes insurance, storage, routine service, fuel at moderate seasonal use, and a reserve for wear items
- Excludes loan payments, major engine replacement, and refit work
This is a modelled band, not observed spend. Real cost swings hard on where you keep the boat and how much you use it.
Method: The same ownership-cost model BoatVerdict's paid Deal Report uses: boat class and length set the base band, then saltwater berth and size adjust it.
