Matching a deep vee Skeeter SX 200 2013 against a modified vee Skeeter TZX 190 2013 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 2013 at 19,7 ft versus Skeeter TZX 190 2013 at 18,4 ft. Weight tells a clearer story for trailering families: the Skeeter TZX 190 2013 tips the scales at 1 725 lbs — 1 706 lbs less than the Skeeter SX 200 2013 at 19 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 175 hp, the Skeeter TZX 190 2013 has a 25-hp advantage over the Skeeter SX 200 2013's 150-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 2013 carries 42 gallons versus 26 gallons in the Skeeter TZX 190 2013. 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 SX 200 2013 is rated for 5 passengers, while the Skeeter TZX 190 2013 caps at 4. If you're regularly pulling extended family or a group of friends onto the water, the extra seats on the Skeeter SX 200 2013 could be the deciding factor.
Bottom line: Choose the Skeeter SX 200 2013 if your priority is putting more people on the water — it handles 5 passengers and at 19,7 ft it has the deck room to back that rating up comfortably. The Skeeter TZX 190 2013 is the smarter pick if you want a lighter, easier-to-trailer boat rated for 4 that costs less to run day-to-day.
