Skeeter FX 20 2010 vs Skeeter ZX 22 Bay T 2009: Same Brand, Different Boat

The Skeeter FX 20 2010 is a modified-V design and the Skeeter ZX 22 Bay T 2009 is a tunnel hull 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 ZX 22 Bay T 2009 at 21,0 ft. At 1 820 lbs and 1 850 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 FX 20 2010 and 250 hp for the Skeeter ZX 22 Bay T 2009. 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 ZX 22 Bay T 2009 carries 60 gallons versus 50 gallons in the Skeeter FX 20 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 ZX 22 Bay T 2009 is rated for 8 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 ZX 22 Bay T 2009 could be the deciding factor.

Bottom line: Choose the Skeeter ZX 22 Bay T 2009 if your priority is putting more people on the water - it handles 8 passengers and at 21,0 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 ZX 22 Bay T 2009 - Common Questions

Which is the larger boat - the Skeeter FX 20 2010 or the Skeeter ZX 22 Bay T 2009?
The Skeeter ZX 22 Bay T 2009 is the longer of the two at 21,0 feet overall. The Skeeter FX 20 2010 comes in at 20,2 feet, making it roughly 0,8 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 ZX 22 Bay T 2009?
For trailering, the Skeeter FX 20 2010 has the edge at 1 820 lbs dry weight versus 1 850 lbs for the Skeeter ZX 22 Bay T 2009. 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.
How many people can each boat hold?
The Skeeter FX 20 2010 is Coast Guard rated for 5 passengers, while the Skeeter ZX 22 Bay T 2009 is certified for 8. 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.
Which boat is wider, and does it affect trailering?
The Skeeter ZX 22 Bay T 2009 measures 98" wide, compared to 95" for the Skeeter FX 20 2010. The US standard-width towing limit is 8’6" (102") in most states - anything over that may need a wide-load permit. Confirm your specific route requirements with each state's DOT.
Which boat has the larger fuel tank - the Skeeter FX 20 2010 or the Skeeter ZX 22 Bay T 2009?
The Skeeter ZX 22 Bay T 2009 has the bigger tank at 60 gallons, versus 50 gallons on the Skeeter FX 20 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 ZX 22 Bay T 2009 from the same manufacturer?
Yes - both the Skeeter FX 20 2010 and the Skeeter ZX 22 Bay T 2009 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.
