Matching a deep vee Skeeter SX 240 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.
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 ZX 22 Bay 2007 at 21,0 feet (2007). Weight tells a clearer story for trailering families: the Skeeter SX 240 2013 tips the scales at 2 925 lbs — 2 740 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.
The power gap is worth calling out. Rated to 300 hp, the Skeeter SX 240 2013 has a 50-hp advantage over the Skeeter ZX 22 Bay 2007'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 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 240 2013 at 24,1 ft is the right call if deck space, comfort, and entertaining are top of your list. The Skeeter ZX 22 Bay 2007 at 21,0 ft wins on trailering ease, likely lower purchase price, and simpler docking — a solid choice for a buyer who wants more boat for less money.
