Alumacraft MV 2072 AW 2004 vs Alumacraft Trophy 195 2013 — Same Brand, Different Boat

The Alumacraft MV 2072 AW 2004 vs Alumacraft Trophy 195 2013 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 power gap is worth calling out. Rated to 200 hp, the Alumacraft Trophy 195 2013 has a 110-hp advantage over the Alumacraft MV 2072 AW 2004's 90-hp ceiling — enough to notice on acceleration and at cruising speed, particularly with a full passenger load.

Both boats are rated for 8 passengers — a good fit for a family of four or five plus guests. Comfort at capacity is another matter; the longer hull typically means more seat options and better weight distribution.

Bottom line: Performance buyers should lean toward the Alumacraft Trophy 195 2013 and its 200-hp ceiling. If fuel economy and quieter running matter more than top-end speed, the Alumacraft MV 2072 AW 2004 with its 90-hp rating is the more economical daily driver.

Alumacraft MV 2072 AW 2004 vs Alumacraft Trophy 195 2013 — Common Questions

Which is easier to trailer — the Alumacraft MV 2072 AW 2004 or the Alumacraft Trophy 195 2013?
For trailering, the Alumacraft MV 2072 AW 2004 has the edge at 8 lbs dry weight versus 1 805 lbs for the Alumacraft Trophy 195 2013. 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.
Which boat can handle a bigger outboard?
The Alumacraft Trophy 195 2013 is rated to a maximum of 200 hp, giving it the larger power ceiling. The Alumacraft MV 2072 AW 2004 tops out at 90 hp. Keep in mind that maximum ratings are just that — matching the motor to the actual load and usage pattern usually matters more than chasing the ceiling.
How many people can each boat hold?
The Alumacraft MV 2072 AW 2004 is Coast Guard rated for 8 passengers, while the Alumacraft Trophy 195 2013 is certified for 8. 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 195 2013 measures 98" wide, compared to 96" for the Alumacraft MV 2072 AW 2004. 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 MV 2072 AW 2004 and Alumacraft Trophy 195 2013 from the same manufacturer?
Yes — both the Alumacraft MV 2072 AW 2004 and the Alumacraft Trophy 195 2013 are built by Alumacraft. That means shared dealer networks, common parts availability, and consistent build quality across the line. The choice between them is essentially a question of how much boat you need, not which brand you trust.
