Are the trophys that bad? I have very little experience so I can't say one way or the other. But it sure seems they have a bad rep. My timing is a bit off, Im headed out fishing up to the skeena for two weeks. If the timing was different I might have moved on that Osprey. Its over my budget but its really nice and I would think about reaching there.

Such a sick boat, what are peoples opinions on these ospreys? I’ve heard they’re a little wet, but I like it a lot.

Tanks, never heard anything about being wet, but if they do get wet is because there out in weather that others t don’t bother going in , never been in one but there is a hand full at the marina I am at and they crush it

You would spend as much on that trophy from the US, compared to that osprey, and would have twice the boat IMO

If you’re looking for a boat in that size and price, I don’t think you could do any better than that one. I doubt you could get a whaler 25 for under 100k with warranty still left on the motor.
I don’t see a rear station in this tub though, so unless it has remote control kicker steering, would a must to add on

Not a dual console model as suggested, but still a sweet boat with perfect power.

Not sure why all the hate on the trophy’s I hear the older ones weren’t as good but I’ve had 2 completely rotten hourstons and a double eagle I think anything from back in the day is going to need a full structural repair job regardless of brand if it hasn’t been done already The through hull fittings aren’t great and the factory wiring is a bit rough I’ll admit that but the 2000+ trophy’s had a major redesign composite stringer system with green wood XL transom a much better boat in my opinion I ended up getting rid of my hourston and bought a 2005 trophy 1802 w/a fresh re power cleaned up the wiring and she’s an amazing boat that the family loves at a great price compared to what else was out there we use it 3-4 days a week and will last us many many years fishing on the west coast of Vancouver island get a pre purchase survey on it like any boat but I wouldn’t hesitate to buy an other also have a few friends with the 2000+ trophy pros we’ve fished them all over the island and mainland for years without issues.
 
Saw this boat at our dock today. I know nothing about it except it’s about 17 ft long and it’s in Nanaimo

I can confirm this. I’ve fished outta my buddies podded osprey and the thing is built like a tank. Been out in some stuff and never felt worried at all.
