Skeeter SX 2250 2013 vs Skeeter SX 240 2013: A Close Look at Two Deep-V Boats

Both the Skeeter SX 2250 2013 and the Skeeter SX 240 2013 are deep-V designs, both built in composite, so 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 2250 2013 at 22,5 ft versus Skeeter SX 240 2013 at 24,1 ft. Weight tells a clearer story for trailering families: the Skeeter SX 240 2013 tips the scales at 2 925 lbs - 150 lbs less than the Skeeter SX 2250 2013 at 2 775 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 300 hp, the Skeeter SX 240 2013 has a 50-hp advantage over the Skeeter SX 2250 2013's 250-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 240 2013 carries 75 gallons versus 53 gallons in the Skeeter SX 2250 2013. On a lake day that's negligible, but for coastal cruising or long reservoir runs the extra range matters.

Both boats are rated for 8 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: Performance buyers should lean toward the Skeeter SX 240 2013 and its 300-hp ceiling. If fuel economy and quieter running matter more than top-end speed, the Skeeter SX 2250 2013 with its 250-hp rating is the more economical daily driver.

Skeeter SX 2250 2013 vs Skeeter SX 240 2013 - Common Questions

Which is the larger boat - the Skeeter SX 2250 2013 or the Skeeter SX 240 2013?
The Skeeter SX 240 2013 is the longer of the two at 24,1 feet overall. The Skeeter SX 2250 2013 comes in at 22,5 feet, making it roughly 1,6 ft shorter - a meaningful difference in deck room and overall on-water presence.
Which is easier to trailer - the Skeeter SX 2250 2013 or the Skeeter SX 240 2013?
For trailering, the Skeeter SX 2250 2013 has the edge at 2 775 lbs dry weight versus 2 925 lbs for the Skeeter SX 240 2013. 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 240 2013 is rated to a maximum of 300 hp, giving it the larger power ceiling. The Skeeter SX 2250 2013 tops out at 250 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 2250 2013 is Coast Guard rated for 8 passengers, while the Skeeter SX 240 2013 is certified for 8. 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.
Do these boats require an oversize trailer permit to tow on US highways?
Both the Skeeter SX 2250 2013 and Skeeter SX 240 2013 share an 101 in. beam - meaning both sit right at the 8’6" threshold that most US states use for standard-width loads. In most states you can tow at that width without a special permit, but regulations vary. Always check the rules for your state and any states you'll be passing through before your first long haul.
Which boat has the larger fuel tank - the Skeeter SX 2250 2013 or the Skeeter SX 240 2013?
The Skeeter SX 240 2013 has the bigger tank at 75 gallons, versus 53 gallons on the Skeeter SX 2250 2013. That 22-gallon difference translates to roughly 66–110 nautical miles of additional range at cruising speed, depending on motor, load, and conditions.
Are the Skeeter SX 2250 2013 and Skeeter SX 240 2013 from the same manufacturer?
Yes - both the Skeeter SX 2250 2013 and the Skeeter SX 240 2013 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.
