Detailed Evaluation & Buyer Recommendation
Duckworth 235 2011 vs Duckworth Boats Pro-steel-completely modified 1986: Same Brand, Different Boat
The Duckworth 235 2011 vs Duckworth Boats Pro-steel-completely modified 1986 comparison sits squarely in the category of decisions where specs alone won't tell the whole story: intended use, storage, and long-term ownership costs all factor in.
The power gap is worth calling out. Rated to 450 hp, the Duckworth 235 2011 has a 380-hp advantage over the Duckworth Boats Pro-steel-completely modified 1986's 70-hp ceiling - enough to notice on acceleration and at cruising speed, particularly with a full passenger load.
For family outings this is probably the sharpest distinction between the two. The Duckworth 235 2011 is rated for 7 passengers, while the Duckworth Boats Pro-steel-completely modified 1986 caps at 4. If you're regularly pulling extended family or a group of friends onto the water, the extra seats on the Duckworth 235 2011 could be the deciding factor.
Bottom line: Choose the Duckworth 235 2011 if your priority is putting more people on the water - it handles 7 passengers and at 23,5 ft it has the deck room to back that rating up comfortably. The Duckworth Boats Pro-steel-completely modified 1986 is the smarter pick if you want a lighter, easier-to-trailer boat rated for 4 that costs less to run day-to-day.
