Matching a modified vee Skeeter SL 190 2013 against a deep vee Skeeter WX 1900 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 2013 at 18,4 ft versus Skeeter WX 1900 2012 at 18,8 ft. Weight tells a clearer story for trailering families: the Skeeter SL 190 2013 tips the scales at 1 625 lbs — 1 607 lbs more than the Skeeter WX 1900 2012 at 18 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 200 hp, the Skeeter WX 1900 2012 has a 25-hp advantage over the Skeeter SL 190 2013's 175-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.

Both boats are rated for 6 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.
