When two boats share the same hull type — in this case both the Duckworth 175 Sport 2010 and the Duckworth 195 2010 are deep vee designs with aluminum construction — the buying decision usually comes down to a handful of practical questions: how many people are you putting on the water, how far do you trailer, and what does your tow vehicle weigh?
On paper these two are close siblings in the size department — Duckworth 175 Sport 2010 at 17,5 ft versus Duckworth 195 2010 at 19,5 ft. Weight tells a clearer story for trailering families: the Duckworth 175 Sport 2010 tips the scales at 1 455 lbs — 1 298 lbs more than the Duckworth 195 2010 at 157 lbs. That difference is meaningful if you're working within a half-ton or three-quarter-ton truck's tow rating, especially once you factor in a motor, gear, and fuel.
The power gap is worth calling out. Rated to 150 hp, the Duckworth 195 2010 has a 35-hp advantage over the Duckworth 175 Sport 2010's 115-hp ceiling — enough to notice on acceleration and at cruising speed, particularly with a full passenger load. Both carry nearly identical fuel loads — 42 gal and 42 gal — so range won't be a tiebreaker here.
Both boats are rated for 5 passengers — a good fit for a family of four or five plus guests. Comfort at capacity is another matter; the longer hull typically means more seat options and better weight distribution.
Bottom line: Performance buyers should lean toward the Duckworth 195 2010 and its 150-hp ceiling. If fuel economy and quieter running matter more than top-end speed, the Duckworth 175 Sport 2010 with its 115-hp rating is the more economical daily driver.
