Matching a deep vee Duckworth 20 2010 against a modified vee Duckworth 26 2010 means you're likely deciding between two genuinely different on-water experiences. Hull type shapes everything from ride quality and fuel burn to dock handling and resale trajectory.
Size is the most obvious dividing line here. The Duckworth 26 2010 measures 26,0 feet overall (2010), giving it roughly 24,0 additional feet of deck space compared to the Duckworth 20 2010 at 2,0 feet (2010). At 27 lbs and 47 lbs respectively, both sit in a similar weight class — either should pair comfortably with most mid-size SUVs and half-ton trucks, though always confirm your specific tow rating with the motor added.
The Duckworth 26 2010 tops out at 500 hp. Engine specs for the Duckworth 20 2010 aren't listed — confirm with a dealer before selecting an outboard.Fuel capacity breaks the other way: the Duckworth 20 2010 carries 62 gallons versus 13 gallons in the Duckworth 26 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 26 2010 is rated for 7 passengers, while the Duckworth 20 2010 caps at 6. If you're regularly pulling extended family or a group of friends onto the water, the extra seats on the Duckworth 26 2010 could be the deciding factor.
Bottom line: Choose the Duckworth 26 2010 if your priority is putting more people on the water — it handles 7 passengers and at 26,0 ft it has the deck room to back that rating up comfortably. The Duckworth 20 2010 is the smarter pick if you want a lighter, easier-to-trailer boat rated for 6 that costs less to run day-to-day.
