Both the Skeeter 20i 2012 and the Skeeter SX 200 2007 are modified-V designs, both built in composite, so 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 - Skeeter 20i 2012 at 20,2 ft versus Skeeter SX 200 2007 at 19,0 ft. Weight tells a clearer story for trailering families: the Skeeter 20i 2012 tips the scales at 1 850 lbs - 200 lbs more than the Skeeter SX 200 2007 at 1 650 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.
The power gap is worth calling out. Rated to 250 hp, the Skeeter 20i 2012 has a 50-hp advantage over the Skeeter SX 200 2007's 200-hp ceiling - enough to notice on acceleration and at cruising speed, particularly with a full passenger load. Both carry nearly identical fuel loads - 50 gal and 47 gal - so range won't be a tiebreaker here.
Both boats are rated for 5 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.
Bottom line: Performance buyers should lean toward the Skeeter 20i 2012 and its 250-hp ceiling. If fuel economy and quieter running matter more than top-end speed, the Skeeter SX 200 2007 with its 200-hp rating is the more economical daily driver.
