Detailed Evaluation & Buyer Recommendation
Alumacraft MV 2072 AW Tunnel CC 2013 vs Alumacraft Trophy 205 2011 — Same Brand, Different Boat
Matching a tunnel Alumacraft MV 2072 AW Tunnel CC 2013 against a deep vee Alumacraft Trophy 205 2011 means you're likely deciding between two genuinely different on-water experiences. Hull type shapes everything from ride quality and fuel burn to dock handling and resale trajectory.
Size is the most obvious dividing line here. The Alumacraft Trophy 205 2011 measures 20,7 feet overall (2011), giving it roughly 18,7 additional feet of deck space compared to the Alumacraft MV 2072 AW Tunnel CC 2013 at 2,0 feet (2013). Weight tells a clearer story for trailering families: the Alumacraft Trophy 205 2011 tips the scales at 1 915 lbs — 780 lbs less than the Alumacraft MV 2072 AW Tunnel CC 2013 at 1 135 lbs. That difference is meaningful if you're working within a half-ton or three-quarter-ton truck's tow rating, especially once you factor in a motor, gear, and fuel.
The power gap is worth calling out. Rated to 225 hp, the Alumacraft Trophy 205 2011 has a 95-hp advantage over the Alumacraft MV 2072 AW Tunnel CC 2013's 130-hp ceiling — enough to notice on acceleration and at cruising speed, particularly with a full passenger load. Both carry nearly identical fuel loads — 2 gal and 5 gal — so range won't be a tiebreaker here.
For family outings this is probably the sharpest distinction between the two. The Alumacraft Trophy 205 2011 is rated for 9 passengers, while the Alumacraft MV 2072 AW Tunnel CC 2013 caps at 6. If you're regularly pulling extended family or a group of friends onto the water, the extra seats on the Alumacraft Trophy 205 2011 could be the deciding factor.
Bottom line: Choose the Alumacraft Trophy 205 2011 if your priority is putting more people on the water — it handles 9 passengers and at 20,7 ft it has the deck room to back that rating up comfortably. The Alumacraft MV 2072 AW Tunnel CC 2013 is the smarter pick if you want a lighter, easier-to-trailer boat rated for 6 that costs less to run day-to-day.
