Detailed Evaluation & Buyer Recommendation

Trophy 1703 Center Console 2004 vs Trophy 1952 WA 2008 — Same Brand, Different Boat

The Trophy 1703 Center Console 2004 vs Trophy 1952 WA 2008 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 1952 WA 2008 tops out at 220 hp. Engine specs for the Trophy 1703 Center Console 2004 aren't listed — confirm with a dealer before selecting an outboard.Fuel capacity breaks the other way: the Trophy 1952 WA 2008 carries 55 gallons versus 37 gallons in the Trophy 1703 Center Console 2004. 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 1952 WA 2008 is rated for 6 passengers, while the Trophy 1703 Center Console 2004 caps at 5. If you're regularly pulling extended family or a group of friends onto the water, the extra seats on the Trophy 1952 WA 2008 could be the deciding factor.

Bottom line: Choose the Trophy 1952 WA 2008 if your priority is putting more people on the water — it handles 6 passengers and at 19,0 ft it has the deck room to back that rating up comfortably. The Trophy 1703 Center Console 2004 is the smarter pick if you want a lighter, easier-to-trailer boat rated for 5 that costs less to run day-to-day.
