Detailed Evaluation & Buyer Recommendation

Trophy 1703 CC 2006 vs Trophy 1802 Walkaround 2005 — Same Brand, Different Boat

The Trophy 1703 CC 2006 vs Trophy 1802 Walkaround 2005 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 Trophy 1703 CC 2006 carries a rated maximum of 115 hp. Engine data for the Trophy 1802 Walkaround 2005 wasn't available in our records — check the manufacturer's spec sheet before sizing a motor.Fuel capacity breaks the other way: the Trophy 1802 Walkaround 2005 carries 52 gallons versus 37 gallons in the Trophy 1703 CC 2006. On a lake day that's negligible, but for coastal cruising or long reservoir runs the extra range matters.

For family outings this is probably the sharpest distinction between the two. The Trophy 1802 Walkaround 2005 is rated for 6 passengers, while the Trophy 1703 CC 2006 caps at 5. If you're regularly pulling extended family or a group of friends onto the water, the extra seats on the Trophy 1802 Walkaround 2005 could be the deciding factor.

Bottom line: Choose the Trophy 1802 Walkaround 2005 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 Trophy 1703 CC 2006 is the smarter pick if you want a lighter, easier-to-trailer boat rated for 5 that costs less to run day-to-day.
