Both the Duckworth 215SE 2010 and the Duckworth Pacific Navigator 195 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?
On paper these two are close siblings in the size department - Duckworth 215SE 2010 at 21,5 ft versus Duckworth Pacific Navigator 195 2008 at 19,0 ft. Weight tells a clearer story for trailering families: the Duckworth Pacific Navigator 195 2008 tips the scales at 2 047 lbs - 129 lbs less than the Duckworth 215SE 2010 at 1 918 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 250 hp, the Duckworth 215SE 2010 has a 25-hp advantage over the Duckworth Pacific Navigator 195 2008's 225-hp ceiling - enough to notice on acceleration and at cruising speed, particularly with a full passenger load. Both carry nearly identical fuel loads - 62 gal and 62 gal - so range won't be a tiebreaker here.
Both boats are rated for 6 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: The Duckworth 215SE 2010 at 21,5 ft is the right call if deck space, comfort, and entertaining are top of your list. The Duckworth Pacific Navigator 195 2008 at 19,0 ft wins on trailering ease, likely lower purchase price, and simpler docking - a solid choice for a buyer who wants more boat for less money.
