When two boats share the same hull type — in this case both the Duckworth 22 Ultra Magnum Inboard Jet 2009 and the Duckworth Pacific Navigator 195 2008 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 22 Ultra Magnum Inboard Jet 2009 at 22,0 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 — 1 716 lbs less than the Duckworth 22 Ultra Magnum Inboard Jet 2009 at 331 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 Pacific Navigator 195 2008 tops out at 225 hp. Engine specs for the Duckworth 22 Ultra Magnum Inboard Jet 2009 aren't listed — confirm with a dealer before selecting an outboard.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.
