Matching a deep vee Duckworth 24 Ultra Magnum Inboard Jet 2009 against a modified vee Duckworth Pro 723 2013 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 24 Ultra Magnum Inboard Jet 2009 at 24,0 ft versus Duckworth Pro 723 2013 at 23,0 ft. Weight tells a clearer story for trailering families: the Duckworth 24 Ultra Magnum Inboard Jet 2009 tips the scales at 372 lbs — 355 lbs more than the Duckworth Pro 723 2013 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.

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.
