1999 Trophy (WAC)- Good Boat or Bad?

[nightstalker]

A buddy of mine is looking at a 1999 20 foot Trophy (WAC) with a 125 Merc and trailer. I have read a lot of positives and negatives about Trophy boats on the forum. Is this a solid boat or one that he should shy away from? Is a 125 Merc. under horsepowered for this rig? The dealer is asking $16,500. I thought that this was high!!!!!!! What do you think? <br />Stalker

The NADA guide might be able to help you, here is the link for that model :<br />http://www.nadaguides.com/Values/ValueReport.asp?UserID=f9363e8d-4d8f-4dd8-8b96-cfea81f363e9&DID=38524&Type=MR&GCode=MR&wPg=1107&wSec=4&Letter=B&Com=0156&Year=1999&Model=1600017945 <br /><br />Good Luck<br />John

it sounds a bit underpowered, but i didn't pull up the specs on the boat. for comparison, i had a 150hp johnson on my 20' center console. i thought it was just right, any less would have been difficult to get by with.

JamNJ:<br /> Thanks for the link, but that was a CC. The one he is looking at is a walk around cuddy. I found that link also.<br />Thanks<br />Stalker

Depending on the condition and options the boat has, electronics, live wells, and such, the price might be a bit high but not too high. It might be a little under powered because NADA only lists a 150 as the standard engine. The Trophy is lighter than many fishing boats but it is a good value. Your friend could probably talk the dealer down a thousand or two. Sounds like a reasonable starting price though.
