The Skeeter SL 210 2008 is a modified-V design and the Skeeter WX 1790T 2007 is a deep-V design, so you're likely deciding between two noticeably 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 210 2008 at 20,0 ft versus Skeeter WX 1790T 2007 at 17,0 ft. Weight tells a clearer story for trailering families: the Skeeter SL 210 2008 tips the scales at 1 650 lbs - 350 lbs more than the Skeeter WX 1790T 2007 at 1 300 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 SL 210 2008 has a 145-hp advantage over the Skeeter WX 1790T 2007'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 SL 210 2008 carries 40 gallons versus 33 gallons in the Skeeter WX 1790T 2007. 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: The Skeeter SL 210 2008 at 20,0 ft is the right call if deck space, comfort, and entertaining are top of your list. The Skeeter WX 1790T 2007 at 17,0 ft wins on trailering ease, likely lower purchase price, and simpler docking - a solid choice for a buyer who wants more boat for less money.
