Matching a deep vee Skeeter SX 240 2013 against a modified vee Skeeter ZX 22 V 2011 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 240 2013 at 24,1 ft versus Skeeter ZX 22 V 2011 at 22,5 ft. Weight tells a clearer story for trailering families: the Skeeter SX 240 2013 tips the scales at 2 925 lbs — 2 663 lbs more than the Skeeter ZX 22 V 2011 at 262 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 V 2011'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 V 2011. 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 ZX 22 V 2011 with its 250-hp rating is the more economical daily driver.
