Trophy 1806 DC 2009 vs Trophy 2052 Walkaround 2004 - Boat Spec Comparison

Q: Which is easier to trailer — the Trophy 1806 DC 2009 or the Trophy 2052 Walkaround 2004?

For trailering, the Trophy 2052 Walkaround 2004 has the edge at 35 lbs dry weight versus 2 085 lbs for the Trophy 1806 DC 2009. Add a motor (typically 300–500 lbs for an outboard in this class), gear, and a partial fuel load and the difference grows. 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 1806 DC 2009 has a documented max rating of 150 hp. Engine specifications for the Trophy 2052 Walkaround 2004 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 1806 DC 2009 is Coast Guard rated for 5 passengers, while the Trophy 2052 Walkaround 2004 is certified for 7. 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 1806 DC 2009 measures 98" wide, compared to 97" for the Trophy 2052 Walkaround 2004. 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 1806 DC 2009 or the Trophy 2052 Walkaround 2004?

The Trophy 2052 Walkaround 2004 has the bigger tank at 85 gallons, versus 6 gallons on the Trophy 1806 DC 2009. That 79-gallon difference translates to roughly 237–395 nautical miles of additional range at cruising speed, depending on motor, load, and conditions.

Q: Are the Trophy 1806 DC 2009 and Trophy 2052 Walkaround 2004 from the same manufacturer?

Yes — both the Trophy 1806 DC 2009 and the Trophy 2052 Walkaround 2004 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 1806 DC 2009 vs Trophy 2052 Walkaround 2004 — Same Brand, Different Boat

The Trophy 1806 DC 2009 vs Trophy 2052 Walkaround 2004 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.

The Trophy 1806 DC 2009 carries a rated maximum of 150 hp. Engine data for the Trophy 2052 Walkaround 2004 wasn't available in our records — check the manufacturer's spec sheet before sizing a motor.Fuel capacity breaks the other way: the Trophy 2052 Walkaround 2004 carries 85 gallons versus 6 gallons in the Trophy 1806 DC 2009. 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 2052 Walkaround 2004 is rated for 7 passengers, while the Trophy 1806 DC 2009 caps at 5. If you're regularly pulling extended family or a group of friends onto the water, the extra seats on the Trophy 2052 Walkaround 2004 could be the deciding factor.

Bottom line: Choose the Trophy 2052 Walkaround 2004 if your priority is putting more people on the water — it handles 7 passengers and at 0,0 ft it has the deck room to back that rating up comfortably. The Trophy 1806 DC 2009 is the smarter pick if you want a lighter, easier-to-trailer boat rated for 5 that costs less to run day-to-day.
