Detailed Evaluation & Buyer Recommendation
Trophy 1806 DC 2009 vs Trophy 2102 WA 2011 — Same Brand, Different Boat
Matching a modified vee Trophy 1806 DC 2009 against a deep vee Trophy 2102 WA 2011 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 2102 WA 2011 measures 21,6 feet overall (2011), giving it roughly 3,1 additional feet of deck space compared to the Trophy 1806 DC 2009 at 18,5 feet (2009). Weight tells a clearer story for trailering families: the Trophy 1806 DC 2009 tips the scales at 2 085 lbs — 1 742 lbs more than the Trophy 2102 WA 2011 at 343 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.
Both boats share a closely matched power ceiling — 150 hp for the Trophy 1806 DC 2009 and 150 hp for the Trophy 2102 WA 2011. Real-world performance will come down more to which motor is actually bolted on, its load at the time, and whether it's a 4-stroke or 2-stroke setup. Fuel capacity breaks the other way: the Trophy 2102 WA 2011 carries 86 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 2102 WA 2011 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 2102 WA 2011 could be the deciding factor.
Bottom line: Choose the Trophy 2102 WA 2011 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 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.
