Matching a deep vee Duckworth 22 Ultra Magnum Inboard Jet 2009 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 4,0 additional feet of deck space compared to the Duckworth 22 Ultra Magnum Inboard Jet 2009 at 22,0 feet (2009). Weight tells a clearer story for trailering families: the Duckworth 22 Ultra Magnum Inboard Jet 2009 tips the scales at 331 lbs — 284 lbs more than the Duckworth 26 2010 at 47 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 26 2010 tops out at 500 hp. Engine specs for the Duckworth 22 Ultra Magnum Inboard Jet 2009 aren't listed — confirm with a dealer before selecting an outboard.Fuel capacity breaks the other way: the Duckworth 22 Ultra Magnum Inboard Jet 2009 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 22 Ultra Magnum Inboard Jet 2009 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 22 Ultra Magnum Inboard Jet 2009 is the smarter pick if you want a lighter, easier-to-trailer boat rated for 6 that costs less to run day-to-day.
