When two boats share the same hull type — in this case both the Duckworth 195 2010 and the Duckworth 22 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 195 2010 at 19,5 ft versus Duckworth 22 2010 at 22,0 ft. Weight tells a clearer story for trailering families: the Duckworth 22 2010 tips the scales at 331 lbs — 174 lbs less 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 Duckworth 195 2010 carries a rated maximum of 150 hp. Engine data for the Duckworth 22 2010 wasn't available in our records — check the manufacturer's spec sheet before sizing a motor.Fuel capacity breaks the other way: the Duckworth 22 2010 carries 62 gallons versus 42 gallons in the Duckworth 195 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 22 2010 is rated for 6 passengers, while the Duckworth 195 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 22 2010 could be the deciding factor.
Bottom line: Choose the Duckworth 22 2010 if your priority is putting more people on the water — it handles 6 passengers and at 22,0 ft it has the deck room to back that rating up comfortably. The Duckworth 195 2010 is the smarter pick if you want a lighter, easier-to-trailer boat rated for 5 that costs less to run day-to-day.
