When two boats share the same hull type — in this case both the Skeeter SX 200 2013 and the Skeeter WX 1950 2009 are deep vee designs with composite construction — the buying decision usually comes down to a handful of practical questions: how many people are you putting on the water, how far do you trailer, and what does your tow vehicle weigh?
On paper these two are close siblings in the size department — Skeeter SX 200 2013 at 19,7 ft versus Skeeter WX 1950 2009 at 19,0 ft. Weight tells a clearer story for trailering families: the Skeeter WX 1950 2009 tips the scales at 1 825 lbs — 1 806 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 225 hp, the Skeeter WX 1950 2009 has a 75-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 WX 1950 2009 carries 52 gallons versus 42 gallons in the Skeeter SX 200 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 WX 1950 2009 is rated for 6 passengers, while the Skeeter SX 200 2013 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 1950 2009 could be the deciding factor.
Bottom line: Choose the Skeeter WX 1950 2009 if your priority is putting more people on the water — it handles 6 passengers and at 19,0 ft it has the deck room to back that rating up comfortably. The Skeeter SX 200 2013 is the smarter pick if you want a lighter, easier-to-trailer boat rated for 5 that costs less to run day-to-day.
