[QUOTE="Marbleyes, post: 224158, member: 675"] I really like it. I got a 2014 LE Trophy 185. I know in 2015 they changed their design a little to cater to the fish/ski crowd so I'm not sure about the newer ones but I like mine a lot. They are HEAVY boats with the 2XB hull so I got it maxed out with a 175 Yamaha and threw on a 9.9 kicker with electric trim. I like the built in rail system for rod holders you can move anywhere on the boat and I like the two rod storage lockers and I like that the LE has a sliding drawer below the dash on the driver and passenger sides. One of the negatives of the trophy is the boat sits damn high in the water so if there is any wind, the boat turns into a sailboat and makes boat control a little tougher while fishing. The fact that it sits so high in the water is also a positive when you are in big waves as I have never taken on water in rough weather. I knew this when I bought it since I had already owned one so it didn't bother me but if you aren't used to a boat that sits that high then you might not like it if you are expecting easy boat control. The trophy isn't a speed demon by any means but it is a heavy sturdy boat. [/QUOTE]
