When two boats share the same hull type — in this case both the Skeeter SX 220 T 2013 and the Skeeter WX 1990 2011 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 220 T 2013 at 21,8 ft versus Skeeter WX 1990 2011 at 19,8 ft. Weight tells a clearer story for trailering families: the Skeeter WX 1990 2011 tips the scales at 1 825 lbs — 1 610 lbs less than the Skeeter SX 220 T 2013 at 215 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 250 hp, the Skeeter SX 220 T 2013 has a 25-hp advantage over the Skeeter WX 1990 2011's 225-hp ceiling — enough to notice on acceleration and at cruising speed, particularly with a full passenger load. Both carry nearly identical fuel loads — 53 gal and 52 gal — so range won't be a tiebreaker here.
For family outings this is probably the sharpest distinction between the two. The Skeeter SX 220 T 2013 is rated for 8 passengers, while the Skeeter WX 1990 2011 caps at 6. If you're regularly pulling extended family or a group of friends onto the water, the extra seats on the Skeeter SX 220 T 2013 could be the deciding factor.
Bottom line: Choose the Skeeter SX 220 T 2013 if your priority is putting more people on the water — it handles 8 passengers and at 21,8 ft it has the deck room to back that rating up comfortably. The Skeeter WX 1990 2011 is the smarter pick if you want a lighter, easier-to-trailer boat rated for 6 that costs less to run day-to-day.
