Matching a modified vee Skeeter SL 190 2011 against a deep vee Skeeter WX 2000 T 2012 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 SL 190 2011 at 18,4 ft versus Skeeter WX 2000 T 2012 at 20,1 ft. At 15 lbs and 18 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.
The power gap is worth calling out. Rated to 175 hp, the Skeeter SL 190 2011 has a 60-hp advantage over the Skeeter WX 2000 T 2012's 115-hp ceiling — enough to notice on acceleration and at cruising speed, particularly with a full passenger load. Both carry nearly identical fuel loads — 3 gal and 4 gal — so range won't be a tiebreaker here.
For family outings this is probably the sharpest distinction between the two. The Skeeter SL 190 2011 is rated for 6 passengers, while the Skeeter WX 2000 T 2012 caps at 5. If you're regularly pulling extended family or a group of friends onto the water, the extra seats on the Skeeter SL 190 2011 could be the deciding factor.
Bottom line: Choose the Skeeter SL 190 2011 if your priority is putting more people on the water — it handles 6 passengers and at 18,4 ft it has the deck room to back that rating up comfortably. The Skeeter WX 2000 T 2012 is the smarter pick if you want a lighter, easier-to-trailer boat rated for 5 that costs less to run day-to-day.
