Detailed Evaluation & Buyer Recommendation
Trophy 1901 Bay Boat 2008 vs Trophy 2152 WA 2011 — Same Brand, Different Boat
Matching a modified vee Trophy 1901 Bay Boat 2008 against a deep vee Trophy 2152 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.
On paper these two are close siblings in the size department — Trophy 1901 Bay Boat 2008 at 19,0 ft versus Trophy 2152 WA 2011 at 21,6 ft. At 19 lbs and 35 lbs respectively, both sit in a similar weight class — either should pair comfortably with most mid-size SUVs and half-ton trucks, though always confirm your specific tow rating with the motor added.
The power gap is worth calling out. Rated to 220 hp, the Trophy 2152 WA 2011 has a 70-hp advantage over the Trophy 1901 Bay Boat 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 2011 carries 85 gallons versus 56 gallons in the Trophy 1901 Bay Boat 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 2011 is rated for 7 passengers, while the Trophy 1901 Bay Boat 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 2011 could be the deciding factor.
Bottom line: Choose the Trophy 2152 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 1901 Bay Boat 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.
