Skeeter SL 1900 2013 vs Skeeter WX 1950 2009 — Same Brand, Different Boat

Matching a modified vee Skeeter SL 1900 2013 against a deep vee Skeeter WX 1950 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 2013 at 19,0 ft versus Skeeter WX 1950 2009 at 19,0 ft. Weight tells a clearer story for trailering families: the Skeeter WX 1950 2009 tips the scales at 1 825 lbs — 1 630 lbs less than the Skeeter SL 1900 2013 at 195 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 225 hp, the Skeeter WX 1950 2009 has a 25-hp advantage over the Skeeter SL 1900 2013's 200-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 1950 2009 carries 52 gallons versus 3 gallons in the Skeeter SL 1900 2013. 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 WX 1950 2009 and its 225-hp ceiling. If fuel economy and quieter running matter more than top-end speed, the Skeeter SL 1900 2013 with its 200-hp rating is the more economical daily driver.

Skeeter SL 1900 2013 vs Skeeter WX 1950 2009 — Common Questions

Which is the larger boat — the Skeeter SL 1900 2013 or the Skeeter WX 1950 2009?
The Skeeter WX 1950 2009 is the longer of the two at 19,0 feet overall. The Skeeter SL 1900 2013 comes in at 19,0 feet, making it roughly 0,0 ft shorter — a meaningful difference in deck room and overall on-water presence.
Which is easier to trailer — the Skeeter SL 1900 2013 or the Skeeter WX 1950 2009?
For trailering, the Skeeter SL 1900 2013 has the edge at 195 lbs dry weight versus 1 825 lbs for the Skeeter WX 1950 2009. 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 WX 1950 2009 is rated to a maximum of 225 hp, giving it the larger power ceiling. The Skeeter SL 1900 2013 tops out at 200 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 2013 is Coast Guard rated for 6 passengers, while the Skeeter WX 1950 2009 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.
Do these boats require an oversize trailer permit to tow on US highways?
Both the Skeeter SL 1900 2013 and Skeeter WX 1950 2009 share an 98 in beam — meaning both sit right at the 8’6" threshold that most US states use for standard-width loads. In most states you can tow at that width without a special permit, but regulations vary. Always check the rules for your state and any states you'll be passing through before your first long haul.
Which boat has the larger fuel tank — the Skeeter SL 1900 2013 or the Skeeter WX 1950 2009?
The Skeeter WX 1950 2009 has the bigger tank at 52 gallons, versus 3 gallons on the Skeeter SL 1900 2013. That 49-gallon difference translates to roughly 147–245 nautical miles of additional range at cruising speed, depending on motor, load, and conditions.
Are the Skeeter SL 1900 2013 and Skeeter WX 1950 2009 from the same manufacturer?
Yes — both the Skeeter SL 1900 2013 and the Skeeter WX 1950 2009 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.
