Detailed Evaluation & Buyer Recommendation
Skeeter FX 20 2011 vs Skeeter ST 15 2004 — Same Brand, Different Boat
The Skeeter FX 20 2011 vs Skeeter ST 15 2004 comparison sits squarely in the category of decisions where specs alone won't tell the whole story — intended use, storage, and long-term ownership costs all factor in.
The power gap is worth calling out. Rated to 250 hp, the Skeeter FX 20 2011 has a 243-hp advantage over the Skeeter ST 15 2004's 7-hp ceiling — enough to notice on acceleration and at cruising speed, particularly with a full passenger load. Both carry nearly identical fuel loads — 5 gal and 2 gal — so range won't be a tiebreaker here.
For family outings this is probably the sharpest distinction between the two. The Skeeter FX 20 2011 is rated for 5 passengers, while the Skeeter ST 15 2004 caps at 3. If you're regularly pulling extended family or a group of friends onto the water, the extra seats on the Skeeter FX 20 2011 could be the deciding factor.
Bottom line: Choose the Skeeter FX 20 2011 if your priority is putting more people on the water — it handles 5 passengers and at 20,2 ft it has the deck room to back that rating up comfortably. The Skeeter ST 15 2004 is the smarter pick if you want a lighter, easier-to-trailer boat rated for 3 that costs less to run day-to-day.
