Matching a modified vee Skeeter SL 180 2007 against a deep vee Skeeter WX 2000 T 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.
Size is the most obvious dividing line here. The Skeeter WX 2000 T 2013 measures 20,1 feet overall (2013), giving it roughly 3,1 additional feet of deck space compared to the Skeeter SL 180 2007 at 17,0 feet (2007). Weight tells a clearer story for trailering families: the Skeeter WX 2000 T 2013 tips the scales at 1 975 lbs — 1 837 lbs less than the Skeeter SL 180 2007 at 138 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 150 hp, the Skeeter SL 180 2007 has a 35-hp advantage over the Skeeter WX 2000 T 2013's 115-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 WX 2000 T 2013 carries 34 gallons versus 3 gallons in the Skeeter SL 180 2007. 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: The Skeeter WX 2000 T 2013 at 20,1 ft is the right call if deck space, comfort, and entertaining are top of your list. The Skeeter SL 180 2007 at 17,0 ft wins on trailering ease, likely lower purchase price, and simpler docking — a solid choice for a buyer who wants more boat for less money.
