Detailed Evaluation & Buyer Recommendation
Skeeter FX 20 2013 vs Skeeter ZX 1775WT 2004: Same Brand, Different Boat
The Skeeter FX 20 2013 vs Skeeter ZX 1775WT 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 2013 has a 100-hp advantage over the Skeeter ZX 1775WT 2004's 150-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 2013 carries 50 gallons versus 33 gallons in the Skeeter ZX 1775WT 2004. 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 1775WT 2004 is rated for 6 passengers, while the Skeeter FX 20 2013 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 1775WT 2004 could be the deciding factor.
Bottom line: Choose the Skeeter ZX 1775WT 2004 if your priority is putting more people on the water - it handles 6 passengers and at 0,0 ft it has the deck room to back that rating up comfortably. The Skeeter FX 20 2013 is the smarter pick if you want a lighter, easier-to-trailer boat rated for 5 that costs less to run day-to-day.
