Matching a modified vee Duckworth 721 2010 against a deep vee Duckworth Navigator Sport 175 2008 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 721 2010 measures 21,0 feet overall (2010), giving it roughly 4,0 additional feet of deck space compared to the Duckworth Navigator Sport 175 2008 at 17,0 feet (2008). At 16 lbs and 14 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 power gap is worth calling out. Rated to 200 hp, the Duckworth 721 2010 has a 85-hp advantage over the Duckworth Navigator Sport 175 2008's 115-hp ceiling — enough to notice on acceleration and at cruising speed, particularly with a full passenger load. Both carry nearly identical fuel loads — 42 gal and 42 gal — so range won't be a tiebreaker here.
For family outings this is probably the sharpest distinction between the two. The Duckworth 721 2010 is rated for 6 passengers, while the Duckworth Navigator Sport 175 2008 caps at 5. If you're regularly pulling extended family or a group of friends onto the water, the extra seats on the Duckworth 721 2010 could be the deciding factor.
Bottom line: Choose the Duckworth 721 2010 if your priority is putting more people on the water — it handles 6 passengers and at 21,0 ft it has the deck room to back that rating up comfortably. The Duckworth Navigator Sport 175 2008 is the smarter pick if you want a lighter, easier-to-trailer boat rated for 5 that costs less to run day-to-day.
