For trailering, the Trophy 2352 WA 2011 has the edge at 4 678 lbs dry weight versus 5 235 lbs for the Trophy 2359 Hardtop 2004.

The Trophy 2352 WA 2011 has a documented max rating of 260 hp. Engine specifications for the Trophy 2359 Hardtop 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 2352 WA 2011 is Coast Guard rated for 7 passengers, while the Trophy 2359 Hardtop 2004 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.

Both the Trophy 2352 WA 2011 and Trophy 2359 Hardtop 2004 share an 8 ft. 5 in. (2.57 m) 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: Which boat has the larger fuel tank — the Trophy 2352 WA 2011 or the Trophy 2359 Hardtop 2004?

The Trophy 2352 WA 2011 has the bigger tank at 101 gallons, versus 87 gallons on the Trophy 2359 Hardtop 2004. That 14-gallon difference translates to roughly 42–70 nautical miles of additional range at cruising speed, depending on motor, load, and conditions.

Yes — both the Trophy 2352 WA 2011 and the Trophy 2359 Hardtop 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.

Detailed Evaluation & Buyer Recommendation

Trophy 2352 WA 2011 vs Trophy 2359 Hardtop 2004 — Same Brand, Different Boat

The Trophy 2352 WA 2011 vs Trophy 2359 Hardtop 2004 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 Trophy 2352 WA 2011 carries a rated maximum of 260 hp. Engine data for the Trophy 2359 Hardtop 2004 wasn't available in our records — check the manufacturer's spec sheet before sizing a motor.Fuel capacity breaks the other way: the Trophy 2352 WA 2011 carries 101 gallons versus 87 gallons in the Trophy 2359 Hardtop 2004. On a lake day that's negligible, but for coastal cruising or long reservoir runs the extra range matters.

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: The Trophy 2352 WA 2011 and Trophy 2359 Hardtop 2004 are closely matched on the specs that matter most. Test-ride both on the water you actually use, check current dealer pricing, and factor in long-term service access before you sign.
