Skeeter FX 20 2010 vs Skeeter WX 1850 2010: Same Brand, Different Boat

The Skeeter FX 20 2010 is a modified-V design and the Skeeter WX 1850 2010 is a deep-V design, so you're likely deciding between two noticeably 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 FX 20 2010 at 20,2 ft versus Skeeter WX 1850 2010 at 18,8 ft. At 1 820 lbs and 1 800 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 250 hp, the Skeeter FX 20 2010 has a 50-hp advantage over the Skeeter WX 1850 2010's 200-hp ceiling - enough to notice on acceleration and at cruising speed, particularly with a full passenger load. Fuel capacity breaks the other way: the Skeeter FX 20 2010 carries 50 gallons versus 40 gallons in the Skeeter WX 1850 2010. 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 WX 1850 2010 is rated for 6 passengers, while the Skeeter FX 20 2010 caps at 5. If you're regularly pulling extended family or a group of friends onto the water, the extra seats on the Skeeter WX 1850 2010 could be the deciding factor.

Bottom line: Choose the Skeeter WX 1850 2010 if your priority is putting more people on the water - it handles 6 passengers and at 18,8 ft it has the deck room to back that rating up comfortably. The Skeeter FX 20 2010 is the smarter pick if you want a lighter, easier-to-trailer boat rated for 5 that costs less to run day-to-day.

Skeeter FX 20 2010 vs Skeeter WX 1850 2010 - Common Questions

Which is the larger boat - the Skeeter FX 20 2010 or the Skeeter WX 1850 2010?
The Skeeter FX 20 2010 is the longer of the two at 20,2 feet overall. The Skeeter WX 1850 2010 comes in at 18,8 feet, making it roughly 1,4 ft shorter - a meaningful difference in deck room and overall on-water presence.
Which is easier to trailer - the Skeeter FX 20 2010 or the Skeeter WX 1850 2010?
For trailering, the Skeeter WX 1850 2010 has the edge at 1 800 lbs dry weight versus 1 820 lbs for the Skeeter FX 20 2010. Add a motor (typically 300–500 lbs for an outboard in this class), gear, and a partial fuel load and the difference grows. Lighter is friendlier on smaller tow vehicles and on fuel economy while hauling.
Which boat can handle a bigger outboard?
The Skeeter FX 20 2010 is rated to a maximum of 250 hp, giving it the larger power ceiling. The Skeeter WX 1850 2010 tops out at 200 hp. Keep in mind that maximum ratings are just that - matching the motor to the actual load and usage pattern usually matters more than chasing the ceiling.
How many people can each boat hold?
The Skeeter FX 20 2010 is Coast Guard rated for 5 passengers, while the Skeeter WX 1850 2010 is certified for 6. Note that legal capacity and comfortable capacity aren't always the same thing - on a full day out, most experienced boaters aim for about 80% of the rated number to keep things comfortable.
Do these boats require an oversize trailer permit to tow on US highways?
Both the Skeeter FX 20 2010 and Skeeter WX 1850 2010 share an 95 in. beam - meaning both sit right at the 8’6" threshold that most US states use for standard-width loads. In most states you can tow at that width without a special permit, but regulations vary. Always check the rules for your state and any states you'll be passing through before your first long haul.
Which boat has the larger fuel tank - the Skeeter FX 20 2010 or the Skeeter WX 1850 2010?
The Skeeter FX 20 2010 has the bigger tank at 50 gallons, versus 40 gallons on the Skeeter WX 1850 2010. That 10-gallon difference translates to roughly 30–50 nautical miles of additional range at cruising speed, depending on motor, load, and conditions.
Are the Skeeter FX 20 2010 and Skeeter WX 1850 2010 from the same manufacturer?
Yes - both the Skeeter FX 20 2010 and the Skeeter WX 1850 2010 are built by Skeeter. That means shared dealer networks, common parts availability, and consistent build quality across the line. The choice between them is essentially a question of how much boat you need, not which brand you trust.
