Skeeter SX 2250 2013 vs Skeeter ZX 22 Bay 2007 — Same Brand, Different Boat

Matching a deep vee Skeeter SX 2250 2013 against a modified vee Skeeter ZX 22 Bay 2007 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 2250 2013 at 22,5 ft versus Skeeter ZX 22 Bay 2007 at 21,0 ft. Weight tells a clearer story for trailering families: the Skeeter SX 2250 2013 tips the scales at 2 775 lbs — 2 590 lbs more than the Skeeter ZX 22 Bay 2007 at 185 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.

Both boats share a closely matched power ceiling — 250 hp for the Skeeter SX 2250 2013 and 250 hp for the Skeeter ZX 22 Bay 2007. Real-world performance will come down more to which motor is actually bolted on, its load at the time, and whether it's a 4-stroke or 2-stroke setup. Fuel capacity breaks the other way: the Skeeter SX 2250 2013 carries 53 gallons versus 6 gallons in the Skeeter ZX 22 Bay 2007. 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: The Skeeter SX 2250 2013 and Skeeter ZX 22 Bay 2007 are closely matched on the specs that matter most. Test-ride both on the water you actually use, check current dealer pricing, and factor in long-term service access before you sign.

Skeeter SX 2250 2013 vs Skeeter ZX 22 Bay 2007 — Common Questions

Which is the larger boat — the Skeeter SX 2250 2013 or the Skeeter ZX 22 Bay 2007?
The Skeeter SX 2250 2013 is the longer of the two at 22,5 feet overall. The Skeeter ZX 22 Bay 2007 comes in at 21,0 feet, making it roughly 1,5 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 ZX 22 Bay 2007?
For trailering, the Skeeter ZX 22 Bay 2007 has the edge at 185 lbs dry weight versus 2 775 lbs for the Skeeter SX 2250 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.
How many people can each boat hold?
The Skeeter SX 2250 2013 is Coast Guard rated for 8 passengers, while the Skeeter ZX 22 Bay 2007 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.
Which boat is wider, and does it affect trailering?
The Skeeter SX 2250 2013 measures 101" wide, compared to 98" for the Skeeter ZX 22 Bay 2007. The US standard-width towing limit is 8’6" (102") in most states — anything over that may need a wide-load permit. Confirm your specific route requirements with each state's DOT.
Which boat has the larger fuel tank — the Skeeter SX 2250 2013 or the Skeeter ZX 22 Bay 2007?
The Skeeter SX 2250 2013 has the bigger tank at 53 gallons, versus 6 gallons on the Skeeter ZX 22 Bay 2007. That 47-gallon difference translates to roughly 141–235 nautical miles of additional range at cruising speed, depending on motor, load, and conditions.
Are the Skeeter SX 2250 2013 and Skeeter ZX 22 Bay 2007 from the same manufacturer?
Yes — both the Skeeter SX 2250 2013 and the Skeeter ZX 22 Bay 2007 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.
