Trophy
1952 WA by

|
A
trailerable, heavy water contender tricked out with
several fishing features.
 The
1952 WA from Trophy Boats has an LOA of 19 feet with
a beam of eight feet, providing the right dimensions
to easily trailer or take on heavy water where the big
fish play. An added bonus is the array of user-friendly
features and several options to meet your personal fishing
needs.
Like every Trophy in this series, the 1952 is built
with a foam-filled, hand-laid fiberglass stringer system
to offer added rigidity, flotation and durability. The
bow of the deep-V hull is also flared to provide a dry,
smooth ride. Trophy offers a 10-year structural hull
warranty.
No matter where you fish, the cockpit will be ready
at every command. The 13-gallon, aerated baitwell will
keep bait alive and healthy no matter how far your travels
take you. The cushioned helm and companion buckets offer
comfort on the way and are removable for easy cleaning.
More seating is found just behind the helm.
Further convenience is provided by the fully loaded
dash featuring a top-mounted binnacle with trim and
tilt switch in the handle, rack and pinion steering
and full instrumentation, including oil pressure, a
tachometer, engine temperature and voltmeter. There’s
also a 2.5-inch flush-mounted illuminated compass. Ample
space is provided for personal electronics and a high
profile windshield will offer protection from heavy
wind or water spray. Some added touches throughout the
cockpit include beverage holders, grab handles for security,
storage lockers and gunnel-mounted rod holders. Trophy
also featured a set of steps which lead up to the walkaround
and foredeck. Here you’ll find a non-skid surface,
an anchor roller and locker plus a welded bow rail.
Entry into the cabin is via a lockable door just beside
the helm. Down here you’ll find a large berth
with ample storage underneath, while one section of
the seat lifts up to access a small portable head. Overhead
lighting is also included.
When it comes to powering the 1952, several options
are available from MerCruiser, ranging from the standard
3.0L 135 hp with an Alpha One drive to the ever-popular
4.3L MPI 220 hp with an Alpha One drive. The hefty Cummins
MerCruiser 1.7L diesel offering 120 horses is also available.
Some other options worth considering include a galvanized,
single-axle trailer with brakes and swing-away tongue,
coaming pads, raw water wash down, and bimini enclosure. |
