The Trophy 2502 WA 2007 is the longer of the two at 25,0 feet overall. The Trophy 1802 WA 2006 comes in at 18,0 feet, making it roughly 7,0 ft shorter — a meaningful difference in deck room and overall on-water presence.

For trailering, the Trophy 1802 WA 2006 has the edge at 1 975 lbs dry weight versus 5 408 lbs for the Trophy 2502 WA 2007.

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 2502 WA 2007 has a documented max rating of 275 hp. Engine specifications for the Trophy 1802 WA 2006 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 1802 WA 2006 is Coast Guard rated for 6 passengers, while the Trophy 2502 WA 2007 is certified for 8. 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 2502 WA 2007 measures 102" wide, compared to 9" for the Trophy 1802 WA 2006. 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 1802 WA 2006 or the Trophy 2502 WA 2007?

The Trophy 2502 WA 2007 has the bigger tank at 163 gallons, versus 52 gallons on the Trophy 1802 WA 2006. That 111-gallon difference translates to roughly 333–555 nautical miles of additional range at cruising speed, depending on motor, load, and conditions.

Q: Are the Trophy 1802 WA 2006 and Trophy 2502 WA 2007 from the same manufacturer?

Yes — both the Trophy 1802 WA 2006 and the Trophy 2502 WA 2007 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 1802 WA 2006 vs Trophy 2502 WA 2007 — Same Brand, Different Boat

The Trophy 1802 WA 2006 vs Trophy 2502 WA 2007 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 2502 WA 2007 measures 25,0 feet overall (2007), giving it roughly 7,0 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 2502 WA 2007 tips the scales at 5 408 lbs — 3 433 lbs less than the Trophy 1802 WA 2006 at 1 975 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 2502 WA 2007 tops out at 275 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 2502 WA 2007 carries 163 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 2502 WA 2007 is rated for 8 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 2502 WA 2007 could be the deciding factor.

Bottom line: Choose the Trophy 2502 WA 2007 if your priority is putting more people on the water — it handles 8 passengers and at 25,0 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.
