When two boats share the same hull type — in this case both the Skeeter SX 240 2013 and the Skeeter WX 2100 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?

Size is the most obvious dividing line here. The Skeeter SX 240 2013 measures 24,1 feet overall (2013), giving it roughly 3,1 additional feet of deck space compared to the Skeeter WX 2100 2011 at 21,0 feet (2011). Weight tells a clearer story for trailering families: the Skeeter SX 240 2013 tips the scales at 2 925 lbs — 2 730 lbs more than the Skeeter WX 2100 2011 at 195 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 — 300 hp for the Skeeter SX 240 2013 and 300 hp for the Skeeter WX 2100 2011. 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 240 2013 carries 75 gallons versus 64 gallons in the Skeeter WX 2100 2011. 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 240 2013 is rated for 8 passengers, while the Skeeter WX 2100 2011 caps at 7. If you're regularly pulling extended family or a group of friends onto the water, the extra seats on the Skeeter SX 240 2013 could be the deciding factor.
