Skeeter SX 180 2010 vs Skeeter WX 2000 T 2011: Same Brand, Different Boat

The Skeeter SX 180 2010 is a modified-V design and the Skeeter WX 2000 T 2011 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 SX 180 2010 at 17,7 ft versus Skeeter WX 2000 T 2011 at 20,1 ft. Weight tells a clearer story for trailering families: the Skeeter WX 2000 T 2011 tips the scales at 1 800 lbs - 530 lbs less than the Skeeter SX 180 2010 at 1 270 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.

Both boats share a closely matched power ceiling - 130 hp for the Skeeter SX 180 2010 and 115 hp for the Skeeter WX 2000 T 2011. Real-world performance will come down more to which motor is actually bolted on, its load at the time, and whether it's a 4-stroke or 2-stroke setup. Fuel capacity breaks the other way: the Skeeter WX 2000 T 2011 carries 40 gallons versus 24 gallons in the Skeeter SX 180 2010. On a lake day that's negligible, but for coastal cruising or long reservoir runs the extra range matters.

Both boats are rated for 5 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 WX 2000 T 2011 at 20,1 ft is the right call if deck space, comfort, and entertaining are top of your list. The Skeeter SX 180 2010 at 17,7 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.

Skeeter SX 180 2010 vs Skeeter WX 2000 T 2011 - Common Questions

Which is the larger boat - the Skeeter SX 180 2010 or the Skeeter WX 2000 T 2011?
The Skeeter WX 2000 T 2011 is the longer of the two at 20,1 feet overall. The Skeeter SX 180 2010 comes in at 17,7 feet, making it roughly 2,4 ft shorter - a meaningful difference in deck room and overall on-water presence.
Which is easier to trailer - the Skeeter SX 180 2010 or the Skeeter WX 2000 T 2011?
For trailering, the Skeeter SX 180 2010 has the edge at 1 270 lbs dry weight versus 1 800 lbs for the Skeeter WX 2000 T 2011. 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 SX 180 2010 is rated to a maximum of 130 hp, giving it the larger power ceiling. The Skeeter WX 2000 T 2011 tops out at 115 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 SX 180 2010 is Coast Guard rated for 5 passengers, while the Skeeter WX 2000 T 2011 is certified for 5. 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.
Which boat is wider, and does it affect trailering?
The Skeeter WX 2000 T 2011 measures 99" wide, compared to 88" for the Skeeter SX 180 2010. The US standard-width towing limit is 8’6" (102") in most states - anything over that may need a wide-load permit. Confirm your specific route requirements with each state's DOT.
Which boat has the larger fuel tank - the Skeeter SX 180 2010 or the Skeeter WX 2000 T 2011?
The Skeeter WX 2000 T 2011 has the bigger tank at 40 gallons, versus 24 gallons on the Skeeter SX 180 2010. That 16-gallon difference translates to roughly 48–80 nautical miles of additional range at cruising speed, depending on motor, load, and conditions.
Are the Skeeter SX 180 2010 and Skeeter WX 2000 T 2011 from the same manufacturer?
Yes - both the Skeeter SX 180 2010 and the Skeeter WX 2000 T 2011 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.
