Alumacraft Fisherman 160 CS 2009 vs Alumacraft Trophy 175 2004 — Same Brand, Different Boat

The Alumacraft Fisherman 160 CS 2009 vs Alumacraft Trophy 175 2004 comparison sits squarely in the category of decisions where specs alone won't tell the whole story — intended use, storage, and long-term ownership costs all factor in.

The Alumacraft Trophy 175 2004 tops out at 150 hp. Engine specs for the Alumacraft Fisherman 160 CS 2009 aren't listed — confirm with a dealer before selecting an outboard.

For family outings this is probably the sharpest distinction between the two. The Alumacraft Trophy 175 2004 is rated for 6 passengers, while the Alumacraft Fisherman 160 CS 2009 caps at 5. If you're regularly pulling extended family or a group of friends onto the water, the extra seats on the Alumacraft Trophy 175 2004 could be the deciding factor.

Bottom line: Choose the Alumacraft Trophy 175 2004 if your priority is putting more people on the water — it handles 6 passengers and at 0,0 ft it has the deck room to back that rating up comfortably. The Alumacraft Fisherman 160 CS 2009 is the smarter pick if you want a lighter, easier-to-trailer boat rated for 5 that costs less to run day-to-day.

Alumacraft Fisherman 160 CS 2009 vs Alumacraft Trophy 175 2004 — Common Questions

Which is easier to trailer — the Alumacraft Fisherman 160 CS 2009 or the Alumacraft Trophy 175 2004?
For trailering, the Alumacraft Fisherman 160 CS 2009 has the edge at 622 lbs dry weight versus 1 215 lbs for the Alumacraft Trophy 175 2004. Add a motor (typically 300–500 lbs for an outboard in this class), gear, and a partial fuel load and the difference grows. Lighter is friendlier on smaller tow vehicles and on fuel economy while hauling.
What is the maximum horsepower rating for these boats?
The Alumacraft Trophy 175 2004 has a documented max rating of 150 hp. Engine specifications for the Alumacraft Fisherman 160 CS 2009 were not available in our database — check the OEM spec sheet or manufacturer's website for confirmation.
How many people can each boat hold?
The Alumacraft Fisherman 160 CS 2009 is Coast Guard rated for 5 passengers, while the Alumacraft Trophy 175 2004 is certified for 6. Note that legal capacity and comfortable capacity aren't always the same thing — on a full day out, most experienced boaters aim for about 80% of the rated number to keep things comfortable.
Which boat is wider, and does it affect trailering?
The Alumacraft Trophy 175 2004 measures 88" wide, compared to 73" for the Alumacraft Fisherman 160 CS 2009. The US standard-width towing limit is 8’6" (102") in most states — anything over that may need a wide-load permit. Confirm your specific route requirements with each state's DOT.
Are the Alumacraft Fisherman 160 CS 2009 and Alumacraft Trophy 175 2004 from the same manufacturer?
Yes — both the Alumacraft Fisherman 160 CS 2009 and the Alumacraft Trophy 175 2004 are built by Alumacraft.
