I am using my Trophy 2052 for the third year - Bought it new at Dockside, Kelowna. It has the enclosed hardtop cockpit, PRO package, heater, and the 220 HP 4.3 MPI Vortec I/O engine. The outboard equivilent is a Trophy 2002. Have abour 250 hours now, mostly in the saltchuck - Victoria and Barkley Sound. I spent a lot of time comparing to Grady White, Boston Whaler, and Campion. Tried them all out, and compared $$$ values,warantees,and service. All had great features, but I did like the Trophy cabin setup, and the walkaround ally is very deep, which is great in rough seas. Some of the frustrations on the Trophy I've noticed are: Not many storage compartments ( I added my own ), the fishwell pumpout pickup and screen are not at the very bottom, and it always leaves some crud you have to clean out by hand. Trim tabs are a must buy option also. It comes with the Pro Package. I get excellent service from Dockside, and a few minor warranteee issues which did not keep me off the water, were looked after promptly. I ran the length of the Alberni Inlet last year for 5 days, and we did have a few days with rough water. I ran with the Gradies, Campions, and almost any other type. I took my turn at times in the lead, and was told after on the dock by other boat make owners, they were surprised the Trophy ran so well. I added a 9.9 Merc bigfoot, and lots of electronics. I ordered my Trophy with the tandem galv. trailer with the swing away hitch. I pull it with a 1/2 ton Chev Silverado Crewcab 4 by 4 and you hardly notice it behind you. I've met a lot of Trophy owners, and all have been happy. I would likely be equally happy with a Campion, or Grady, but I chose the Trophy.
Early Trophies were made in the Bayliner plants, and earned its bad name justly. A few years ago US Marine took over Bayliner, Boston Whaler, Trophy, Maxum, Sea Ray, Mercury Marine,etc. etc. and have redesigned the complete Trophy line. My boat is stored in Victoria, and E - Mail me if you want to look at it, or go for a spin next time i'm on the Island.
