The Trophy 1802 WA 2010 vs Trophy 1952 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.

On paper these two are close siblings in the size department — Trophy 1802 WA 2010 at 18,0 ft versus Trophy 1952 WA 2006 at 19,0 ft. Weight tells a clearer story for trailering families: the Trophy 1952 WA 2006 tips the scales at 3 905 lbs — 1 290 lbs less than the Trophy 1802 WA 2010 at 2 615 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 220 hp, the Trophy 1952 WA 2006 has a 80-hp advantage over the Trophy 1802 WA 2010's 140-hp ceiling — enough to notice on acceleration and at cruising speed, particularly with a full passenger load. Both carry nearly identical fuel loads — 52 gal and 55 gal — so range won't be a tiebreaker here.

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.
