Both the Duckworth 175 2010 and the Duckworth Pacific Navigator 215 SE 2008 are deep-V designs, both built in aluminium, so 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?

Size is the most obvious dividing line here. The Duckworth Pacific Navigator 215 SE 2008 measures 21,0 feet overall (2008), giving it roughly 3,5 additional feet of deck space compared to the Duckworth 175 2010 at 17,5 feet (2010). Weight tells a clearer story for trailering families: the Duckworth Pacific Navigator 215 SE 2008 tips the scales at 2 490 lbs - 1 070 lbs less than the Duckworth 175 2010 at 1 420 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 Duckworth 175 2010 carries a rated maximum of 115 hp. Engine data for the Duckworth Pacific Navigator 215 SE 2008 wasn't available in our records - check the manufacturer's spec sheet before sizing a motor.Fuel capacity breaks the other way: the Duckworth Pacific Navigator 215 SE 2008 carries 62 gallons versus 42 gallons in the Duckworth 175 2010. On a lake day that's negligible, but for coastal cruising or long reservoir runs the extra range matters.

For family outings this is probably the sharpest distinction between the two. The Duckworth Pacific Navigator 215 SE 2008 is rated for 6 passengers, while the Duckworth 175 2010 caps at 5. If you're regularly pulling extended family or a group of friends onto the water, the extra seats on the Duckworth Pacific Navigator 215 SE 2008 could be the deciding factor.
