Trophy 1703 CC 2009 vs Trophy 1703 Center Console 2004 - Boat Spec Comparison

Q: Which is easier to trailer — the Trophy 1703 CC 2009 or the Trophy 1703 Center Console 2004?

For trailering, the Trophy 1703 Center Console 2004 has the edge at 1 801 lbs dry weight versus 1 873 lbs for the Trophy 1703 CC 2009. 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.

Q: What is the maximum horsepower rating for these boats?

The Trophy 1703 CC 2009 has a documented max rating of 115 hp. Engine specifications for the Trophy 1703 Center Console 2004 were not available in our database — check the OEM spec sheet or manufacturer's website for confirmation.

Q: How many people can each boat hold?

The Trophy 1703 CC 2009 is Coast Guard rated for 5 passengers, while the Trophy 1703 Center Console 2004 is certified for 5. 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.

Q: Do these boats require an oversize trailer permit to tow on US highways?

Both the Trophy 1703 CC 2009 and Trophy 1703 Center Console 2004 share an 7 ft. 2 in. (2.18 m) beam — meaning both sit right at the 8’6" threshold that most US states use for standard-width loads. In most states you can tow at that width without a special permit, but regulations vary. Always check the rules for your state and any states you'll be passing through before your first long haul.

Q: How do the fuel tanks compare on the Trophy 1703 CC 2009 and Trophy 1703 Center Console 2004?

Both boats carry similar fuel loads — 37 gallons and 37 gallons respectively. Range will depend heavily on motor choice, throttle usage, and whether you're on flat lake water or coastal chop.

Q: Are the Trophy 1703 CC 2009 and Trophy 1703 Center Console 2004 from the same manufacturer?

Yes — both the Trophy 1703 CC 2009 and the Trophy 1703 Center Console 2004 are built by Trophy. 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.
