Matching a modified vee Skeeter 20i 2011 against a tunnel Skeeter ZX 22 Bay T 2010 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.
On paper these two are close siblings in the size department — Skeeter 20i 2011 at 20,2 ft versus Skeeter ZX 22 Bay T 2010 at 21,8 ft. Weight tells a clearer story for trailering families: the Skeeter ZX 22 Bay T 2010 tips the scales at 1 851 lbs — 1 666 lbs less than the Skeeter 20i 2011 at 185 lbs. 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.
Both boats share a closely matched power ceiling — 250 hp for the Skeeter 20i 2011 and 250 hp for the Skeeter ZX 22 Bay T 2010. 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. Both carry nearly identical fuel loads — 5 gal and 6 gal — so range won't be a tiebreaker here.
For family outings this is probably the sharpest distinction between the two. The Skeeter ZX 22 Bay T 2010 is rated for 8 passengers, while the Skeeter 20i 2011 caps at 5. If you're regularly pulling extended family or a group of friends onto the water, the extra seats on the Skeeter ZX 22 Bay T 2010 could be the deciding factor.
Bottom line: Choose the Skeeter ZX 22 Bay T 2010 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 2011 is the smarter pick if you want a lighter, easier-to-trailer boat rated for 5 that costs less to run day-to-day.
