Matching a deep vee Trophy 1802 WA 2009 against a modified vee Trophy 2206 DC 2010 means you're likely deciding between two genuinely different on-water experiences. Hull type shapes everything from ride quality and fuel burn to dock handling and resale trajectory.

Size is the most obvious dividing line here. The Trophy 2206 DC 2010 measures 22,5 feet overall (2010), giving it roughly 4,5 additional feet of deck space compared to the Trophy 1802 WA 2009 at 18,0 feet (2009). Weight tells a clearer story for trailering families: the Trophy 1802 WA 2009 tips the scales at 2 615 lbs — 2 340 lbs more than the Trophy 2206 DC 2010 at 275 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 power gap is worth calling out. Rated to 250 hp, the Trophy 2206 DC 2010 has a 115-hp advantage over the Trophy 1802 WA 2009's 135-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 2206 DC 2010 carries 104 gallons versus 52 gallons in the Trophy 1802 WA 2009. On a lake day that's negligible, but for coastal cruising or long reservoir runs the extra range matters.

Both boats are rated for 6 passengers — a good fit for a family of four or five plus guests. Comfort at capacity is another matter; the longer hull typically means more seat options and better weight distribution.
