Skeeter SX 240 2013 vs Skeeter ZX 24 V 2012 — Same Brand, Different Boat

Matching a deep vee Skeeter SX 240 2013 against a modified vee Skeeter ZX 24 V 2012 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 24 V 2012 at 24,1 ft. Weight tells a clearer story for trailering families: the Skeeter SX 240 2013 tips the scales at 2 925 lbs — 2 641 lbs more than the Skeeter ZX 24 V 2012 at 284 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 ZX 24 V 2012. 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 8 gallons in the Skeeter ZX 24 V 2012. 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 and Skeeter ZX 24 V 2012 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 240 2013 vs Skeeter ZX 24 V 2012 — Common Questions

Which is the larger boat — the Skeeter SX 240 2013 or the Skeeter ZX 24 V 2012?
The Skeeter ZX 24 V 2012 is the longer of the two at 24,1 feet overall. The Skeeter SX 240 2013 comes in at 24,1 feet, making it roughly 0,0 ft shorter — a meaningful difference in deck room and overall on-water presence.
Which is easier to trailer — the Skeeter SX 240 2013 or the Skeeter ZX 24 V 2012?
For trailering, the Skeeter ZX 24 V 2012 has the edge at 284 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.
How many people can each boat hold?
The Skeeter SX 240 2013 is Coast Guard rated for 8 passengers, while the Skeeter ZX 24 V 2012 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 240 2013 and Skeeter ZX 24 V 2012 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 240 2013 or the Skeeter ZX 24 V 2012?
The Skeeter SX 240 2013 has the bigger tank at 75 gallons, versus 8 gallons on the Skeeter ZX 24 V 2012. That 67-gallon difference translates to roughly 201–335 nautical miles of additional range at cruising speed, depending on motor, load, and conditions.
Are the Skeeter SX 240 2013 and Skeeter ZX 24 V 2012 from the same manufacturer?
Yes — both the Skeeter SX 240 2013 and the Skeeter ZX 24 V 2012 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.
