Both the Duckworth 24 2010 and the Duckworth Pacific Navigator 215 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 24 2010 at 24,0 ft versus Duckworth Pacific Navigator 215 2008 at 21,0 ft. Weight tells a clearer story for trailering families: the Duckworth 24 2010 tips the scales at 3 720 lbs - 1 230 lbs more than the Duckworth Pacific Navigator 215 2008 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 24 2010 carries a rated maximum of 450 hp. Engine data for the Duckworth Pacific Navigator 215 2008 wasn't available in our records - check the manufacturer's spec sheet before sizing a motor.Fuel capacity breaks the other way: the Duckworth 24 2010 carries 80 gallons versus 62 gallons in the Duckworth Pacific Navigator 215 2008. On a lake day that's negligible, but for coastal cruising or long reservoir runs the extra range matters.
For family outings this is probably the sharpest distinction between the two. The Duckworth 24 2010 is rated for 7 passengers, while the Duckworth Pacific Navigator 215 2008 caps at 6. If you're regularly pulling extended family or a group of friends onto the water, the extra seats on the Duckworth 24 2010 could be the deciding factor.
Bottom line: Choose the Duckworth 24 2010 if your priority is putting more people on the water - it handles 7 passengers and at 24,0 ft it has the deck room to back that rating up comfortably. The Duckworth Pacific Navigator 215 2008 is the smarter pick if you want a lighter, easier-to-trailer boat rated for 6 that costs less to run day-to-day.
