Matching a modified vee Skeeter 20i 2007 against a deep vee Skeeter SX 220 T 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 Skeeter SX 220 T 2013 measures 21,8 feet overall (2013), giving it roughly 19,8 additional feet of deck space compared to the Skeeter 20i 2007 at 2,0 feet (2007). At 185 lbs and 215 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.
Both boats share a closely matched power ceiling — 250 hp for the Skeeter 20i 2007 and 250 hp for the Skeeter SX 220 T 2013. Real-world performance will come down more to which motor is actually bolted on, its load at the time, and whether it's a 4-stroke or 2-stroke setup. Fuel capacity breaks the other way: the Skeeter SX 220 T 2013 carries 53 gallons versus 48 gallons in the Skeeter 20i 2007. 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 Skeeter SX 220 T 2013 is rated for 8 passengers, while the Skeeter 20i 2007 caps at 5. If you're regularly pulling extended family or a group of friends onto the water, the extra seats on the Skeeter SX 220 T 2013 could be the deciding factor.
Bottom line: Choose the Skeeter SX 220 T 2013 if your priority is putting more people on the water — it handles 8 passengers and at 21,8 ft it has the deck room to back that rating up comfortably. The Skeeter 20i 2007 is the smarter pick if you want a lighter, easier-to-trailer boat rated for 5 that costs less to run day-to-day.
