When two boats share the same hull type — in this case both the Duckworth Pacific Navigator 200 (22 ft.) 2012 and the Duckworth Pacific Navigator 235 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 Pacific Navigator 200 (22 ft.) 2012 at 22,0 ft versus Duckworth Pacific Navigator 235 2008 at 23,0 ft.

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.
