Detailed Evaluation & Buyer Recommendation
Trophy 1901 Bay Boat 2009 vs Trophy 1903 CC 2011 — Same Brand, Different Boat
Matching a modified vee Trophy 1901 Bay Boat 2009 against a deep vee Trophy 1903 CC 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 2009 at 19,5 ft versus Trophy 1903 CC 2011 at 19,0 ft. Weight tells a clearer story for trailering families: the Trophy 1903 CC 2011 tips the scales at 2 347 lbs — 2 328 lbs less than the Trophy 1901 Bay Boat 2009 at 19 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 1901 Bay Boat 2009 and 150 hp for the Trophy 1903 CC 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. Both carry nearly identical fuel loads — 56 gal and 55 gal — so range won't be a tiebreaker here.
For family outings this is probably the sharpest distinction between the two. The Trophy 1903 CC 2011 is rated for 6 passengers, while the Trophy 1901 Bay Boat 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 1903 CC 2011 could be the deciding factor.
Bottom line: Choose the Trophy 1903 CC 2011 if your priority is putting more people on the water — it handles 6 passengers and at 19,0 ft it has the deck room to back that rating up comfortably. The Trophy 1901 Bay Boat 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.
