When two boats share the same hull type — in this case both the Duckworth 24 2010 and the Duckworth Ultra Magnum Inboard 22 ft. 2008 are deep vee designs with aluminum construction — 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 Ultra Magnum Inboard 22 ft. 2008 at 22,0 ft. At 372 lbs and 331 lbs respectively, both sit in a similar weight class — either should pair comfortably with most mid-size SUVs and half-ton trucks, though always confirm your specific tow rating with the motor added.
The Duckworth 24 2010 carries a rated maximum of 450 hp. Engine data for the Duckworth Ultra Magnum Inboard 22 ft. 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 Ultra Magnum Inboard 22 ft. 2008 carries 62 gallons versus 8 gallons in the Duckworth 24 2010. 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 Ultra Magnum Inboard 22 ft. 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 Ultra Magnum Inboard 22 ft. 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.
