When two boats share the same hull type — in this case both the Duckworth 22 2010 and the Duckworth 24 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 22 2010 at 22,0 ft versus Duckworth 24 2010 at 24,0 ft. At 331 lbs and 372 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 24 2010 tops out at 450 hp. Engine specs for the Duckworth 22 2010 aren't listed — confirm with a dealer before selecting an outboard.Fuel capacity breaks the other way: the Duckworth 22 2010 carries 62 gallons versus 8 gallons in the Duckworth 24 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 24 2010 is rated for 7 passengers, while the Duckworth 22 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 24 2010 could be the deciding factor.
Bottom line: Choose the Duckworth 24 2010 if your priority is putting more people on the water — it handles 7 passengers and at 24,0 ft it has the deck room to back that rating up comfortably. The Duckworth 22 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.
