Matching a modified vee Skeeter SL 210 2012 against a deep vee Skeeter WX 1850 2011 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 1850 2011 at 18,8 ft. Weight tells a clearer story for trailering families: the Skeeter SL 210 2012 tips the scales at 165 lbs — 147 lbs more than the Skeeter WX 1850 2011 at 18 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 75-hp advantage over the Skeeter WX 1850 2011's 150-hp ceiling — enough to notice on acceleration and at cruising speed, particularly with a full passenger load. Both carry nearly identical fuel loads — 4 gal and 4 gal — so range won't be a tiebreaker here.
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 210 2012 and its 225-hp ceiling. If fuel economy and quieter running matter more than top-end speed, the Skeeter WX 1850 2011 with its 150-hp rating is the more economical daily driver.
