Matching a modified vee Skeeter SL 210 2012 against a deep vee Skeeter WX 1790 T 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 210 2012 at 20,2 ft versus Skeeter WX 1790 T 2012 at 17,5 ft. Weight tells a clearer story for trailering families: the Skeeter SL 210 2012 tips the scales at 165 lbs — 152 lbs more than the Skeeter WX 1790 T 2012 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 225 hp, the Skeeter SL 210 2012 has a 145-hp advantage over the Skeeter WX 1790 T 2012'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 2012 carries 33 gallons versus 4 gallons in the Skeeter SL 210 2012. 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 2012 at 20,2 ft is the right call if deck space, comfort, and entertaining are top of your list. The Skeeter WX 1790 T 2012 at 17,5 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.
