Detailed Evaluation & Buyer Recommendation
Trophy 1806 DC 2008 vs Trophy 2152 WA 2013 — Same Brand, Different Boat
Matching a modified vee Trophy 1806 DC 2008 against a deep vee Trophy 2152 WA 2013 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 2152 WA 2013 measures 21,6 feet overall (2013), giving it roughly 3,6 additional feet of deck space compared to the Trophy 1806 DC 2008 at 18,0 feet (2008). Weight tells a clearer story for trailering families: the Trophy 1806 DC 2008 tips the scales at 2 085 lbs — 2 050 lbs more than the Trophy 2152 WA 2013 at 35 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 2152 WA 2013 has a 70-hp advantage over the Trophy 1806 DC 2008's 150-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 2152 WA 2013 carries 85 gallons versus 6 gallons in the Trophy 1806 DC 2008. 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 2152 WA 2013 is rated for 7 passengers, while the Trophy 1806 DC 2008 caps at 5. If you're regularly pulling extended family or a group of friends onto the water, the extra seats on the Trophy 2152 WA 2013 could be the deciding factor.
Bottom line: Choose the Trophy 2152 WA 2013 if your priority is putting more people on the water — it handles 7 passengers and at 21,6 ft it has the deck room to back that rating up comfortably. The Trophy 1806 DC 2008 is the smarter pick if you want a lighter, easier-to-trailer boat rated for 5 that costs less to run day-to-day.
