Trophy 1703 Center Console 2005 vs Trophy 2902 WA 2006 - Boat Spec Comparison

Q: Which is easier to trailer — the Trophy 1703 Center Console 2005 or the Trophy 2902 WA 2006?

For trailering, the Trophy 1703 Center Console 2005 has the edge at 1 801 lbs dry weight versus 8 195 lbs for the Trophy 2902 WA 2006. 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.

The Trophy 2902 WA 2006 is rated to a maximum of 250 hp, giving it the larger power ceiling. The Trophy 1703 Center Console 2005 tops out at 125 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.

Q: How many people can each boat hold?

The Trophy 1703 Center Console 2005 is Coast Guard rated for 5 passengers, while the Trophy 2902 WA 2006 is certified for 10. 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: Which boat is wider, and does it affect trailering?

The Trophy 2902 WA 2006 measures 118" wide, compared to 86" for the Trophy 1703 Center Console 2005. 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.

Q: Which boat has the larger fuel tank — the Trophy 1703 Center Console 2005 or the Trophy 2902 WA 2006?

The Trophy 2902 WA 2006 has the bigger tank at 218 gallons, versus 37 gallons on the Trophy 1703 Center Console 2005. That 181-gallon difference translates to roughly 543–905 nautical miles of additional range at cruising speed, depending on motor, load, and conditions.

Q: Are the Trophy 1703 Center Console 2005 and Trophy 2902 WA 2006 from the same manufacturer?

Yes — both the Trophy 1703 Center Console 2005 and the Trophy 2902 WA 2006 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.

Detailed Evaluation & Buyer Recommendation

Trophy 1703 Center Console 2005 vs Trophy 2902 WA 2006 — Same Brand, Different Boat

The Trophy 1703 Center Console 2005 vs Trophy 2902 WA 2006 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 250 hp, the Trophy 2902 WA 2006 has a 125-hp advantage over the Trophy 1703 Center Console 2005's 125-hp ceiling — enough to notice on acceleration and at cruising speed, particularly with a full passenger load. Fuel capacity breaks the other way: the Trophy 2902 WA 2006 carries 218 gallons versus 37 gallons in the Trophy 1703 Center Console 2005. 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 2902 WA 2006 is rated for 10 passengers, while the Trophy 1703 Center Console 2005 caps at 5. If you're regularly pulling extended family or a group of friends onto the water, the extra seats on the Trophy 2902 WA 2006 could be the deciding factor.

Bottom line: Choose the Trophy 2902 WA 2006 if your priority is putting more people on the water — it handles 10 passengers and at 31,0 ft it has the deck room to back that rating up comfortably. The Trophy 1703 Center Console 2005 is the smarter pick if you want a lighter, easier-to-trailer boat rated for 5 that costs less to run day-to-day.
