When two boats share the same hull type — in this case both the Duckworth 23 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 23 2010 at 23,0 ft versus Duckworth 24 2010 at 24,0 ft. At 361 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 23 2010 aren't listed — confirm with a dealer before selecting an outboard.Both carry nearly identical fuel loads — 8 gal and 8 gal — so range won't be a tiebreaker here.
Both boats are rated for 7 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 23 2010 and Duckworth 24 2010 are closely matched on the specs that matter most. Test-ride both on the water you actually use, check current dealer pricing, and factor in long-term service access before you sign.
