Matching a modified vee Skeeter 21i 2007 against a deep vee Skeeter SX 220 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.
On paper these two are close siblings in the size department — Skeeter 21i 2007 at 21,0 ft versus Skeeter SX 220 2013 at 21,8 ft. At 193 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.
The power gap is worth calling out. Rated to 300 hp, the Skeeter 21i 2007 has a 50-hp advantage over the Skeeter SX 220 2013's 250-hp ceiling — enough to notice on acceleration and at cruising speed, particularly with a full passenger load. Both carry nearly identical fuel loads — 52 gal and 53 gal — so range won't be a tiebreaker here.
For family outings this is probably the sharpest distinction between the two. The Skeeter SX 220 2013 is rated for 8 passengers, while the Skeeter 21i 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 2013 could be the deciding factor.
Bottom line: Choose the Skeeter SX 220 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 21i 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.
