Matching a modified vee Skeeter SL 1900 2010 against a tunnel Skeeter ZX 22 Bay T 2009 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 ZX 22 Bay T 2009 at 21,0 ft. Weight tells a clearer story for trailering families: the Skeeter SL 1900 2010 tips the scales at 1 975 lbs — 1 790 lbs more than the Skeeter ZX 22 Bay T 2009 at 185 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 250 hp, the Skeeter ZX 22 Bay T 2009 has a 50-hp advantage over the Skeeter SL 1900 2010's 200-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 6 gal — so range won't be a tiebreaker here.
For family outings this is probably the sharpest distinction between the two. The Skeeter ZX 22 Bay T 2009 is rated for 8 passengers, while the Skeeter SL 1900 2010 caps at 6. If you're regularly pulling extended family or a group of friends onto the water, the extra seats on the Skeeter ZX 22 Bay T 2009 could be the deciding factor.
Bottom line: Choose the Skeeter ZX 22 Bay T 2009 if your priority is putting more people on the water — it handles 8 passengers and at 21,0 ft it has the deck room to back that rating up comfortably. The Skeeter SL 1900 2010 is the smarter pick if you want a lighter, easier-to-trailer boat rated for 6 that costs less to run day-to-day.
