Skeeter SL 1900 2010 vs Skeeter WX 1790 T 2010 — Same Brand, Different Boat

Matching a modified vee Skeeter SL 1900 2010 against a deep vee Skeeter WX 1790 T 2010 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 1900 2010 at 19,0 ft versus Skeeter WX 1790 T 2010 at 17,5 ft. Weight tells a clearer story for trailering families: the Skeeter SL 1900 2010 tips the scales at 1 975 lbs — 1 962 lbs more than the Skeeter WX 1790 T 2010 at 13 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 SL 1900 2010 has a 120-hp advantage over the Skeeter WX 1790 T 2010's 80-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 1790 T 2010 carries 33 gallons versus 3 gallons in the Skeeter SL 1900 2010. On a lake day that's negligible, but for coastal cruising or long reservoir runs the extra range matters.

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.

Bottom line: Performance buyers should lean toward the Skeeter SL 1900 2010 and its 200-hp ceiling. If fuel economy and quieter running matter more than top-end speed, the Skeeter WX 1790 T 2010 with its 80-hp rating is the more economical daily driver.

Skeeter SL 1900 2010 vs Skeeter WX 1790 T 2010 — Common Questions

Which is the larger boat — the Skeeter SL 1900 2010 or the Skeeter WX 1790 T 2010?
The Skeeter SL 1900 2010 is the longer of the two at 19,0 feet overall. The Skeeter WX 1790 T 2010 comes in at 17,5 feet, making it roughly 1,5 ft shorter — a meaningful difference in deck room and overall on-water presence.
Which is easier to trailer — the Skeeter SL 1900 2010 or the Skeeter WX 1790 T 2010?
For trailering, the Skeeter WX 1790 T 2010 has the edge at 13 lbs dry weight versus 1 975 lbs for the Skeeter SL 1900 2010. Add a motor (typically 300–500 lbs for an outboard in this class), gear, and a partial fuel load and the difference grows. Lighter is friendlier on smaller tow vehicles and on fuel economy while hauling.
Which boat can handle a bigger outboard?
The Skeeter SL 1900 2010 is rated to a maximum of 200 hp, giving it the larger power ceiling. The Skeeter WX 1790 T 2010 tops out at 80 hp. Keep in mind that maximum ratings are just that — matching the motor to the actual load and usage pattern usually matters more than chasing the ceiling.
How many people can each boat hold?
The Skeeter SL 1900 2010 is Coast Guard rated for 6 passengers, while the Skeeter WX 1790 T 2010 is certified for 6. Note that legal capacity and comfortable capacity aren't always the same thing — on a full day out, most experienced boaters aim for about 80% of the rated number to keep things comfortable.
Which boat is wider, and does it affect trailering?
The Skeeter SL 1900 2010 measures 98" wide, compared to 89" for the Skeeter WX 1790 T 2010. The US standard-width towing limit is 8’6" (102") in most states — anything over that may need a wide-load permit. Confirm your specific route requirements with each state's DOT.
Which boat has the larger fuel tank — the Skeeter SL 1900 2010 or the Skeeter WX 1790 T 2010?
The Skeeter WX 1790 T 2010 has the bigger tank at 33 gallons, versus 3 gallons on the Skeeter SL 1900 2010. That 30-gallon difference translates to roughly 90–150 nautical miles of additional range at cruising speed, depending on motor, load, and conditions.
Are the Skeeter SL 1900 2010 and Skeeter WX 1790 T 2010 from the same manufacturer?
Yes — both the Skeeter SL 1900 2010 and the Skeeter WX 1790 T 2010 are built by Skeeter. That means shared dealer networks, common parts availability, and consistent build quality across the line. The choice between them is essentially a question of how much boat you need, not which brand you trust.
