Trophy 1952 Walkaround 2005 vs Trophy 2152 WA 2008 - Boat Spec Comparison

Q: Which is easier to trailer — the Trophy 1952 Walkaround 2005 or the Trophy 2152 WA 2008?

For trailering, the Trophy 1952 Walkaround 2005 has the edge at 32 lbs dry weight versus 35 lbs for the Trophy 2152 WA 2008. 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: How many people can each boat hold?

The Trophy 1952 Walkaround 2005 is Coast Guard rated for 6 passengers, while the Trophy 2152 WA 2008 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 2152 WA 2008 measures 97" wide, compared to 96" for the Trophy 1952 Walkaround 2005. 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 1952 Walkaround 2005 or the Trophy 2152 WA 2008?

The Trophy 2152 WA 2008 has the bigger tank at 85 gallons, versus 55 gallons on the Trophy 1952 Walkaround 2005. That 30-gallon difference translates to roughly 90–150 nautical miles of additional range at cruising speed, depending on motor, load, and conditions.

Q: Are the Trophy 1952 Walkaround 2005 and Trophy 2152 WA 2008 from the same manufacturer?

Yes — both the Trophy 1952 Walkaround 2005 and the Trophy 2152 WA 2008 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 1952 Walkaround 2005 vs Trophy 2152 WA 2008 — Same Brand, Different Boat

The Trophy 1952 Walkaround 2005 vs Trophy 2152 WA 2008 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.

Both boats share a closely matched power ceiling — 220 hp for the Trophy 1952 Walkaround 2005 and 220 hp for the Trophy 2152 WA 2008. 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 2152 WA 2008 carries 85 gallons versus 55 gallons in the Trophy 1952 Walkaround 2005. 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 2008 is rated for 7 passengers, while the Trophy 1952 Walkaround 2005 caps at 6. If you're regularly pulling extended family or a group of friends onto the water, the extra seats on the Trophy 2152 WA 2008 could be the deciding factor.

Bottom line: Choose the Trophy 2152 WA 2008 if your priority is putting more people on the water — it handles 7 passengers and at 21,0 ft it has the deck room to back that rating up comfortably. The Trophy 1952 Walkaround 2005 is the smarter pick if you want a lighter, easier-to-trailer boat rated for 6 that costs less to run day-to-day.
