Join us here in beautiful Lake Minnetonka and aboard Alumacraft’s brand-new Trophy 185X. It’s wider, has more versatility, and has a stunning design and more storage. When we tested this boat it ran over 42 miles per hour with the Rotax S 150 outboard, an innovative engine that won Boating Magazine’s prestigious Marine Power Innovation Award.
It has a responsive trim, takes off instantly, and is economical to run. Besides efficiency, the Rotax S is seamlessly integrated into the boat delivering more usable space plus all the benefits of a traditional outboard. The new Rotax S enables the installation of the MAX Deck, which provides 25 sq. ft. of fishing and recreational space. Additionally, the MAX Deck offers two seat pedestals which allow a pair of anglers the option to comfortably fish standing up or sitting down. Built-in storage compartments in the MAX Deck offer a convenient place for all of your gear. And a sun pad that fits the MAX Deck turns this area into a great sun lounge.
In addition to the innovative MAX Deck, the new Trophy model also offers a modern design that features a stylish curved gunnel. You might ask why doesn’t anyone else do that? Well, it takes a lot of extra work to get aluminum to bend in two directions. Alumacraft has the craftsmanship and special equipment to make it happen.
On Trophy models like this one, you’ll also notice the striking red accent color, and Alumacraft offers a selection of colors that feature automotive-like paint on the hull so you can really stand out on the water.
One thing Alumacraft didn’t change is its exclusive full-length 2XB hull, and we could see why. Whether ripping along at top speed in rough conditions or idling among the lily pads seeking a fish, Alumacraft’s 2XB hull offers two times more strength and protection than most other aluminum fishing boats. Whether ripping along at top speed in rough conditions or idling amongst the lily pads seeking a fish, Alumacraft’s 2XB hull offers two times more strength and protection than most other aluminum fishing boats. The hull is double-plated for durability and delivers a quiet fiberglass-like ride. These Alumacraft boats are really built to go the distance.
No walk-through of an Alumacraft boat would be complete unless we talked about fishing features. Standing by the gunnels here, they’re extra wide in this model that provides extra security for people who run on big waters. Additionally, there’s space for storage like these flip-out compartments and the compartment below which can hold all your gear, tackle, and what have you. It’s fitted with the Alumatrac system where you can fasten rod holders, down rigor mounts, and a host of other accessories, while positioning them exactly where you want. There’s locking rod storage that can easily accommodate rods of up to 10 feet. And in the stern of the boat thanks to the new Flex Module system, you have a variety of livewell and seating configurations.
With its dual consoles, and big protective windshield, this boat lends itself to a dual-purpose family. The Rotax S Series Outboard not only delivers great performance, but it also makes the max deck possible which is the key to the versatility of this new Alumacraft Trophy 185X boat.
