The Trophy 2401 Bay Boat 2010 has the bigger tank at 86 gallons, versus 37 gallons on the Trophy 1703 Center Console 2004. That 49-gallon difference translates to roughly 147–245 nautical miles of additional range at cruising speed, depending on motor, load, and conditions.

Detailed Evaluation & Buyer Recommendation

Trophy 1703 Center Console 2004 vs Trophy 2401 Bay Boat 2010 — Same Brand, Different Boat

The Trophy 1703 Center Console 2004 vs Trophy 2401 Bay Boat 2010 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 2401 Bay Boat 2010 tops out at 250 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 2401 Bay Boat 2010 carries 86 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 2401 Bay Boat 2010 is rated for 7 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 2401 Bay Boat 2010 could be the deciding factor.

Bottom line: Choose the Trophy 2401 Bay Boat 2010 if your priority is putting more people on the water — it handles 7 passengers and at 23,7 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.
