When two boats share the same hull type — in this case both the Duckworth Pacific Navigator 215 2007 and the Duckworth Pacific Navigator 215SE 2009 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?

The Duckworth Pacific Navigator 215SE 2009 tops out at 250 hp. Engine specs for the Duckworth Pacific Navigator 215 2007 aren't listed — confirm with a dealer before selecting an outboard.Both carry nearly identical fuel loads — 62 gal and 62 gal — so range won't be a tiebreaker here.

Both boats are rated for 6 passengers — a good fit for a family of four or five plus guests. Comfort at capacity is another matter; the longer hull typically means more seat options and better weight distribution.
