Trophy 2002 Walkaround 2005 vs Trophy 2102 WA 2011 - Boat Spec Comparison

Q: Which is easier to trailer — the Trophy 2002 Walkaround 2005 or the Trophy 2102 WA 2011?

For trailering, the Trophy 2102 WA 2011 has the edge at 343 lbs dry weight versus 3 342 lbs for the Trophy 2002 Walkaround 2005. 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: Which boat can handle a bigger outboard?

The Trophy 2002 Walkaround 2005 is rated to a maximum of 175 hp, giving it the larger power ceiling. The Trophy 2102 WA 2011 tops out at 150 hp. Keep in mind that maximum ratings are just that — matching the motor to the actual load and usage pattern usually matters more than chasing the ceiling.

Q: How many people can each boat hold?

The Trophy 2002 Walkaround 2005 is Coast Guard rated for 7 passengers, while the Trophy 2102 WA 2011 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: Do these boats require an oversize trailer permit to tow on US highways?

Both the Trophy 2002 Walkaround 2005 and Trophy 2102 WA 2011 share an 8 ft. 1 in beam — meaning both sit right at the 8’6" threshold that most US states use for standard-width loads. In most states you can tow at that width without a special permit, but regulations vary. Always check the rules for your state and any states you'll be passing through before your first long haul.

Q: How do the fuel tanks compare on the Trophy 2002 Walkaround 2005 and Trophy 2102 WA 2011?

Both boats carry similar fuel loads — 85 gallons and 86 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 2002 Walkaround 2005 and Trophy 2102 WA 2011 from the same manufacturer?

Yes — both the Trophy 2002 Walkaround 2005 and the Trophy 2102 WA 2011 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 2002 Walkaround 2005 vs Trophy 2102 WA 2011 — Same Brand, Different Boat

The Trophy 2002 Walkaround 2005 vs Trophy 2102 WA 2011 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.

The power gap is worth calling out. Rated to 175 hp, the Trophy 2002 Walkaround 2005 has a 25-hp advantage over the Trophy 2102 WA 2011's 150-hp ceiling — enough to notice on acceleration and at cruising speed, particularly with a full passenger load. Both carry nearly identical fuel loads — 85 gal and 86 gal — so range won't be a tiebreaker here.

Both boats are rated for 7 passengers — a good fit for a family of four or five plus guests. Comfort at capacity is another matter; the longer hull typically means more seat options and better weight distribution.

Bottom line: Performance buyers should lean toward the Trophy 2002 Walkaround 2005 and its 175-hp ceiling. If fuel economy and quieter running matter more than top-end speed, the Trophy 2102 WA 2011 with its 150-hp rating is the more economical daily driver.
