Detailed Evaluation & Buyer Recommendation
Trophy 1802 WA 2006 vs Trophy 2203 CC 2011 — Same Brand, Different Boat
The Trophy 1802 WA 2006 vs Trophy 2203 CC 2011 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.
Size is the most obvious dividing line here. The Trophy 2203 CC 2011 measures 22,5 feet overall (2011), giving it roughly 4,5 additional feet of deck space compared to the Trophy 1802 WA 2006 at 18,0 feet (2006). Weight tells a clearer story for trailering families: the Trophy 1802 WA 2006 tips the scales at 1 975 lbs — 1 943 lbs more than the Trophy 2203 CC 2011 at 32 lbs. That difference is meaningful if you're working within a half-ton or three-quarter-ton truck's tow rating, especially once you factor in a motor, gear, and fuel.
The Trophy 2203 CC 2011 tops out at 250 hp. Engine specs for the Trophy 1802 WA 2006 aren't listed — confirm with a dealer before selecting an outboard.Fuel capacity breaks the other way: the Trophy 2203 CC 2011 carries 104 gallons versus 52 gallons in the Trophy 1802 WA 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 2203 CC 2011 is rated for 7 passengers, while the Trophy 1802 WA 2006 caps at 6. If you're regularly pulling extended family or a group of friends onto the water, the extra seats on the Trophy 2203 CC 2011 could be the deciding factor.
Bottom line: Choose the Trophy 2203 CC 2011 if your priority is putting more people on the water — it handles 7 passengers and at 22,5 ft it has the deck room to back that rating up comfortably. The Trophy 1802 WA 2006 is the smarter pick if you want a lighter, easier-to-trailer boat rated for 6 that costs less to run day-to-day.
