Matching a modified vee Duckworth 30 2010 against a deep vee Duckworth Ultra Magnum Inboard Jet 22 2012 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.
Size is the most obvious dividing line here. The Duckworth Ultra Magnum Inboard Jet 22 2012 measures 22,0 feet overall (2012), giving it roughly 19,0 additional feet of deck space compared to the Duckworth 30 2010 at 3,0 feet (2010). Weight tells a clearer story for trailering families: the Duckworth Ultra Magnum Inboard Jet 22 2012 tips the scales at 331 lbs — 277 lbs less than the Duckworth 30 2010 at 54 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 30 2010 carries a rated maximum of 500 hp. Engine data for the Duckworth Ultra Magnum Inboard Jet 22 2012 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 Jet 22 2012 carries 62 gallons versus 13 gallons in the Duckworth 30 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 30 2010 is rated for 9 passengers, while the Duckworth Ultra Magnum Inboard Jet 22 2012 caps at 6. If you're regularly pulling extended family or a group of friends onto the water, the extra seats on the Duckworth 30 2010 could be the deciding factor.
Bottom line: Choose the Duckworth 30 2010 if your priority is putting more people on the water — it handles 9 passengers and at 3,0 ft it has the deck room to back that rating up comfortably. The Duckworth Ultra Magnum Inboard Jet 22 2012 is the smarter pick if you want a lighter, easier-to-trailer boat rated for 6 that costs less to run day-to-day.
