Matching a modified vee Skeeter FX 21 2012 against a deep vee Skeeter SX 200 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 FX 21 2012 at 20,8 ft versus Skeeter SX 200 2013 at 19,7 ft. Weight tells a clearer story for trailering families: the Skeeter FX 21 2012 tips the scales at 186 lbs — 167 lbs more than the Skeeter SX 200 2013 at 19 lbs. That difference is meaningful if you're working within a half-ton or three-quarter-ton truck's tow rating, especially once you factor in a motor, gear, and fuel.
The power gap is worth calling out. Rated to 300 hp, the Skeeter FX 21 2012 has a 150-hp advantage over the Skeeter SX 200 2013'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 SX 200 2013 carries 42 gallons versus 5 gallons in the Skeeter FX 21 2012. On a lake day that's negligible, but for coastal cruising or long reservoir runs the extra range matters.
Both boats are rated for 5 passengers — a good fit for a family of four or five plus guests. Comfort at capacity is another matter; the longer hull typically means more seat options and better weight distribution.
Bottom line: Performance buyers should lean toward the Skeeter FX 21 2012 and its 300-hp ceiling. If fuel economy and quieter running matter more than top-end speed, the Skeeter SX 200 2013 with its 150-hp rating is the more economical daily driver.
