Matching a modified vee Skeeter SX 200 2007 against a deep vee Skeeter WX 1790T 2008 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 SX 200 2007 at 19,0 ft versus Skeeter WX 1790T 2008 at 17,0 ft. Weight tells a clearer story for trailering families: the Skeeter SX 200 2007 tips the scales at 165 lbs — 152 lbs more than the Skeeter WX 1790T 2008 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 200 hp, the Skeeter SX 200 2007 has a 120-hp advantage over the Skeeter WX 1790T 2008'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 SX 200 2007 carries 47 gallons versus 33 gallons in the Skeeter WX 1790T 2008. On a lake day that's negligible, but for coastal cruising or long reservoir runs the extra range matters.
For family outings this is probably the sharpest distinction between the two. The Skeeter WX 1790T 2008 is rated for 6 passengers, while the Skeeter SX 200 2007 caps at 5. If you're regularly pulling extended family or a group of friends onto the water, the extra seats on the Skeeter WX 1790T 2008 could be the deciding factor.
Bottom line: Choose the Skeeter WX 1790T 2008 if your priority is putting more people on the water — it handles 6 passengers and at 17,0 ft it has the deck room to back that rating up comfortably. The Skeeter SX 200 2007 is the smarter pick if you want a lighter, easier-to-trailer boat rated for 5 that costs less to run day-to-day.
