Matching a deep vee Trophy 2359 Hardtop WA 2010 against a modified vee Trophy 2401 Bay Boat 2010 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 2359 Hardtop WA 2010 at 23,4 ft versus Trophy 2401 Bay Boat 2010 at 23,7 ft. Weight tells a clearer story for trailering families: the Trophy 2359 Hardtop WA 2010 tips the scales at 5 235 lbs — 5 206 lbs more than the Trophy 2401 Bay Boat 2010 at 29 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 — 260 hp for the Trophy 2359 Hardtop WA 2010 and 250 hp for the Trophy 2401 Bay Boat 2010. 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 — 87 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.
