Matching a modified vee Duckworth 723 2011 against a deep vee Duckworth Offshore 30 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.
Size is the most obvious dividing line here. The Duckworth Offshore 30 2013 measures 32,0 feet overall (2013), giving it roughly 9,0 additional feet of deck space compared to the Duckworth 723 2011 at 23,0 feet (2011). At 17 lbs and 54 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 Offshore 30 2013 tops out at 500 hp. Engine specs for the Duckworth 723 2011 aren't listed — confirm with a dealer before selecting an outboard.Fuel capacity breaks the other way: the Duckworth 723 2011 carries 42 gallons versus 13 gallons in the Duckworth Offshore 30 2013. 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 Offshore 30 2013 is rated for 9 passengers, while the Duckworth 723 2011 caps at 7. If you're regularly pulling extended family or a group of friends onto the water, the extra seats on the Duckworth Offshore 30 2013 could be the deciding factor.
Bottom line: Choose the Duckworth Offshore 30 2013 if your priority is putting more people on the water — it handles 9 passengers and at 32,0 ft it has the deck room to back that rating up comfortably. The Duckworth 723 2011 is the smarter pick if you want a lighter, easier-to-trailer boat rated for 7 that costs less to run day-to-day.
