Both the Duckworth 235 2010 and the Duckworth Pacific Navigator 255 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 235 2010 at 23,5 ft versus Duckworth Pacific Navigator 255 2008 at 25,0 ft. Weight tells a clearer story for trailering families: the Duckworth Pacific Navigator 255 2008 tips the scales at 2 720 lbs - 230 lbs less than the Duckworth 235 2010 at 2 490 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 235 2010 carries a rated maximum of 450 hp. Engine data for the Duckworth Pacific Navigator 255 2008 wasn't available in our records - check the manufacturer's spec sheet before sizing a motor.Both carry nearly identical fuel loads - 62 gal and 62 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 235 2010 and Duckworth Pacific Navigator 255 2008 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.
