For trailering, the Trophy 1901 Bay Boat 2008 has the edge at 19 lbs dry weight versus 2 339 lbs for the Trophy 1903 Center Console 2004.

The Trophy 1901 Bay Boat 2008 has a documented max rating of 150 hp. Engine specifications for the Trophy 1903 Center Console 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 1901 Bay Boat 2008 is Coast Guard rated for 5 passengers, while the Trophy 1903 Center Console 2004 is certified for 6. 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.

The Trophy 1903 Center Console 2004 measures 98" wide, compared to 96" for the Trophy 1901 Bay Boat 2008. 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: How do the fuel tanks compare on the Trophy 1901 Bay Boat 2008 and Trophy 1903 Center Console 2004?

Both boats carry similar fuel loads — 56 gallons and 55 gallons respectively. Range will depend heavily on motor choice, throttle usage, and whether you're on flat lake water or coastal chop.

Q: Are the Trophy 1901 Bay Boat 2008 and Trophy 1903 Center Console 2004 from the same manufacturer?

Yes — both the Trophy 1901 Bay Boat 2008 and the Trophy 1903 Center Console 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.
