Matching a deep vee Duckworth 235 2011 against a modified vee Duckworth 723 2011 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.
On paper these two are close siblings in the size department — Duckworth 235 2011 at 23,5 ft versus Duckworth 723 2011 at 23,0 ft. Weight tells a clearer story for trailering families: the Duckworth 235 2011 tips the scales at 249 lbs — 232 lbs more than the Duckworth 723 2011 at 17 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 2011 carries a rated maximum of 450 hp. Engine data for the Duckworth 723 2011 wasn't available in our records — check the manufacturer's spec sheet before sizing a motor.Fuel capacity breaks the other way: the Duckworth 235 2011 carries 62 gallons versus 42 gallons in the Duckworth 723 2011. On a lake day that's negligible, but for coastal cruising or long reservoir runs the extra range matters.
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 2011 and Duckworth 723 2011 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.
