BrianI / we enjoy this boat every time we take it out. I usually do a lot of Salmon fishing, but with the closure this year we've been hitting up more of the local lakes for trout and landlocked salmon. The first time I took it out fishing I caught a 70" White Sturgeon on the Sacramento River. The UGLYDUCK as we call her, because she is so pretty. lol This boat is perfect for me and my two sons, usually fish 2 adults and 2 juniors. The 4.3 V-6 is very economical and cruises easily at 35 mph. Thanks for making a great boat! Brian

Posted by Lynn, a proud owner of a 19 ft Duckworth Advantage

That's a tough one,probably the handling and the smooth ride.I've never had a boat that comes close to the responsivenessand stability this boat has.

Posted by chuck, a proud owner of a 19.5 Duckworth pacific navigator

The quality of the boat. I have friends who have Alumawelds and they comment on how much they love my boat!

Posted by Mark, a proud owner of a 18 Duckworth Advantage

I spent over 5 years riding in other boats and by far the Duckwoth is the best.

Posted by Mark, a proud owner of a 19.5 Duckworth Navigator Sport

no complaints really

Posted by Jack, a proud owner of a 19'6" Duckworth Navagator Sport Pacific

I probably spend as much time messing with this boat as I do fishing. I thouroughly enjoy it on the water, but also when in storage and like driving down the road or stopping for gas and be the recipient of so many compliments.

The out standing workman ship , the way it handles all types of water

Posted by Dan, a proud owner of a 21'6" Duckworth Navigator

How safe it is. I keep my boat show room clean and no matter were I go someone will always find the time to come tell me how much they love the boat.

Posted by , a proud owner of a 21' Duckworth Silverwing

Love it, it has a custom allumium top and is warm and dry. I love the deck room vs an outboard engine.

Posted by Robert, a proud owner of a 22 ft Duckworth magnum

The workmanship of the consistent heliarc welds, fit and finish, and design as compared to many of the other boats, I have seen, makes the quality of the Duckworth heads and shoulders above other boats. When I was shopping for boats, 5 years ago at the boat shows, those above qualities, convinced me to purchase a Duckworth.

Posted by Robert, a proud owner of a 215 Duckworth Navigator

We love the workmanship in our boat, the smooth ride in rough water on those days that turn ugly, and most of of all the security we get from a well built boat. Theres plenty of room for all of us, we are a family of 5. We are always getting compliments from other boaters about how GREAT our boat looks!. The Yamaha 150 has plenty of power and is very quiet! Wouldn't trade this boat for anything!!!

Posted by chris, a proud owner of a 215 Duckworth Pacific Navigator

I love the utility & economy of the drive system & the beauty of it!! I run with a group in a club and everyone really is amazed at how well my little tub handles & runs with the 4.3L as compared to everyone elses larger tub with 5.7L plants or larger. I have the smallest & yet the most 'Go any where' tub in the club!! And my experience with repair on my tub was well above excellent - my tub came back to me better adapted to what I do than I could have asked! The people that build & repair the boats are top notch!!!

Posted by Vince, a proud owner of a 18 Duckworth Advantage jet

The fact that every other boat owner at the marina/dock wants a Duckworth!

Posted by Chuck, a proud owner of a 18 Duckworth Advantage Classic

Versatility and comfort. Rides much nicer than many other jet boats I've fished in. Never gives me the impression that the boat isn't up to the task and it holds well in the current or wind. I may get a little wet in rough conditions because it's an open boat, but the boat has always been up to the task as a confidence inspiring platform.

Posted by Spencer , a proud owner of a 16 Duckworth Denali open

It goes anywhere!

Posted by james, a proud owner of a 19.5 Duckworth Navigator Sport 195

RonThe Pacific Navigator is the best boat for rough water. It handles the rough water of Lake Tahoe without any problems at all. I got the partial hard top option with the gull wing door for easy in and out of the bow area and also for better visibility while trolling.

Posted by Ron, a proud owner of a 21.5' Duckworth 215 Pacific Navigator

it's just fun to get away from all the people. it is also a multiple use boat. it can go anywhere i dare take it.

Posted by greg, a proud owner of a 19' Duckworth advantage inboard

Everybody looks in awe at the boat..Here in wyoming you dont see many Duckworth boats running around and people are very curious about it.. The boat rides nice, plains out very quick, and is a very SAFE boat to own.

Posted by Larry, a proud owner of a 21.5 Duckworth navigator

I love how a Duckworth looks on the water, and the performance is unprecidented among other boats that I have owned. I always dreamed of owning a Duckworth and the Advantage series made that possible for me.

Posted by Quintin, a proud owner of a 18 feet Duckworth Advantage

power - shallow water run

Posted by tim, a proud owner of a 22 ft Duckworth red dot

LarryQuality Built boat built with 5086-H116 Aluminum Sides and Bottom 6000 series extrusions No one else does that

Posted by Larry, a proud owner of a 17 Duckworth Angler

I fish alone primarily, I can handle this boat both load unloading and running. (I'm 70 yrs) I feel safe, the boat is very dependable. I fish with a 24 volt electric on the bow, even in the wind I have control. I use the live well and its very easy to clean.

Posted by George, a proud owner of a 17.5 Duckworth navagator

CaptareThe quality......! It is bar none a quality boat.I have spent the last 10 years saving for this boat and the more I looked it only pointed to one brand. Duckworth. Thats it Period. Like I heard so many times "Our boats are just like a Duckworth" Now that says something don't you think? If your on the Columbia and you see a yellow Duckworth with Marine Corps Stickers on it, ask me then what I think of it. -Cap

Posted by Captare, a proud owner of a 21 Duckworth Advantage

We all see the ads on economy of use and if you have been around boats its all hard to belive well not with these boats . A average day for us a family of four with everything we think we might need stuffed in the boat is twenty pluse miles on the 90 Yamaha, six pluse hours on the 8hp kicker we have yet to use over 9 gallons of gas on any one day. I can't say enough about the boat the quality construction,comfort and room not too mention ease of towing and its cheap to keep. Not a whole lot more you can ask for in what is really an entry level boat just a high quality one.

Posted by Randall, a proud owner of a 17.5 Duckworth navigator sport

RyanThere is no way that we can say just one thing that we enjoy most. We love everything about our Duckworth. The power, the control, the finish, the functionality.... Practical Perfection!

Posted by Ryan, a proud owner of a 19' Duckworth Advantage

What I like best about my Duckworth is, the fact that it never let's me down, ever. After owning our boat almost ten years, it still turns as many heads as the day we bought it. The unmistakable quality and performance of our Duckworth continues to keep it head and shouilders above the rest. No matter what water we put into , it continues to deliver the same as it did when we bought it. Keep up the good work Duckworth!

Posted by Todd, a proud owner of a 19'6" Duckworth Discovery

The stability and comfort on the water. My wife would not go out in my last boat. But after one ride in the Duckworth, she said she would like to go out again because she felt safe.

Posted by John, a proud owner of a 17 Duckworth ft with windshield

The quality and attention to even the smallest detail is what amazes me about my 94' Duckworth. Ever time I am on the river, the ride is always smooth even in the most choppy water. I always find something that amazes me about the way the boat handles in various situations. I don't think you can build a better fishing machine, but apparently Duckworth has with new PRO SERIES 7 ! Way to Go!

Posted by , a proud owner of a 20ft Duckworth pro one

Larrygreat durability. very easy to fish anchored or at a troll

Posted by Larry, a proud owner of a 15'6 Duckworth discovery series ?

Great looking and well finished

Posted by , a proud owner of a 22 Ft 7 In Duckworth Magnum

Its a very well constructed boat designed for fishing, exactly what I requirted. I am a welder and welding inspector and very impressed with the quality of workmenship. I wish I could use it more but there is no water where I live anfd the closest boat ramp and water is 124 miles.

Posted by George, a proud owner of a 17.5 Duckworth Nevagator

The best thing I have done to improve the fun factor of my life, the boat is great and built stron enough to last through my learning trials.

Posted by brian, a proud owner of a 20 Duckworth silver wing

We will use it untill it wears out? we have a four bladed SS inpropeller pump ,running great

Quality of the boat, reliability and Customer Service from the factory.

Quality of construction standards,

Posted by Guy, a proud owner of a 18 Duckworth Advantage

BenI've just purchased it. There is a LOT of deferred maintenance to take care of but the things I like are rock solid. I like: The hull, it's rock solid. The swim deck, think I may take scuba lessons. The heavy duty eye rings (for towing the kids on an inner tube). The walk through dash (need to be able to easily get to the front of the boat). The full top with sides and back drop (it gets too hot and too cold here). The 'automotive style' heater (again with the cold). The Jet pump, lose some HP but huge gain in river fishing ability. Easy access to the engine. Roll the 'dog house' forward and you have easier access than you do in any truck. Tricker Trailer. Looks like they're out of business... probably gave too much trailer for what they charged. Wide Gunwale top extrusion. Gives a feeling of stability and nice place to mount down rigger plates. Solid Thick chine extrusions. Wow. Console with leg room (no room like that in North River boats). Bars to convert bench seats to bed (just in case). Nice ride but still has shallow water capability. Generous Freeboard. My last boat would occasionally take waves 'over the side'. Overall this is the perfect boat for my needs.

Posted by Ben, a proud owner of a 19 Duckworth Discovery

Quality construction, great ride (my wife and I are both retired and have back problems), we get envious positive feedback from owners of other brands of welded aluminum boats which make us feel good about our choice. The Yamahas are our first four cycle outboards and we are really impressed with the quiet power and fuel miserly operation.

Posted by Don, a proud owner of a 19.5 Duckworth 195 Pacific Navigator

Dave at Three Rivers did a great job explaing the advantages and Scott was also very knowledgeable. The 2010 duckworth boat was best looking best built boat at the show

Posted by Stephen, a proud owner of a 24 Duckworth hard top 2010

Its been a great boat. Just to get away and enjoy the quiet.
