Skeeter WX 1790 T 2009 vs Skeeter ZX 24 V 2007: Same Brand, Different Boat

The Skeeter WX 1790 T 2009 is a deep-V design and the Skeeter ZX 24 V 2007 is a modified-V design, so you're likely deciding between two noticeably 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 ZX 24 V 2007 measures 24,0 feet overall (2007), giving it roughly 7,0 additional feet of deck space compared to the Skeeter WX 1790 T 2009 at 17,0 feet (2009). Weight tells a clearer story for trailering families: the Skeeter ZX 24 V 2007 tips the scales at 2 550 lbs - 1 250 lbs less than the Skeeter WX 1790 T 2009 at 1 300 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 ZX 24 V 2007 has a 220-hp advantage over the Skeeter WX 1790 T 2009's 80-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 ZX 24 V 2007 carries 80 gallons versus 33 gallons in the Skeeter WX 1790 T 2009. 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 ZX 24 V 2007 is rated for 8 passengers, while the Skeeter WX 1790 T 2009 caps at 6. If you're regularly pulling extended family or a group of friends onto the water, the extra seats on the Skeeter ZX 24 V 2007 could be the deciding factor.

Bottom line: Choose the Skeeter ZX 24 V 2007 if your priority is putting more people on the water - it handles 8 passengers and at 24,0 ft it has the deck room to back that rating up comfortably. The Skeeter WX 1790 T 2009 is the smarter pick if you want a lighter, easier-to-trailer boat rated for 6 that costs less to run day-to-day.

Skeeter WX 1790 T 2009 vs Skeeter ZX 24 V 2007 - Common Questions

Which is the larger boat - the Skeeter WX 1790 T 2009 or the Skeeter ZX 24 V 2007?
The Skeeter ZX 24 V 2007 is the longer of the two at 24,0 feet overall. The Skeeter WX 1790 T 2009 comes in at 17,0 feet, making it roughly 7,0 ft shorter - a meaningful difference in deck room and overall on-water presence.
Which is easier to trailer - the Skeeter WX 1790 T 2009 or the Skeeter ZX 24 V 2007?
For trailering, the Skeeter WX 1790 T 2009 has the edge at 1 300 lbs dry weight versus 2 550 lbs for the Skeeter ZX 24 V 2007. 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.
Which boat can handle a bigger outboard?
The Skeeter ZX 24 V 2007 is rated to a maximum of 300 hp, giving it the larger power ceiling. The Skeeter WX 1790 T 2009 tops out at 80 hp. Keep in mind that maximum ratings are just that - matching the motor to the actual load and usage pattern usually matters more than chasing the ceiling.
How many people can each boat hold?
The Skeeter WX 1790 T 2009 is Coast Guard rated for 6 passengers, while the Skeeter ZX 24 V 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 ZX 24 V 2007 measures 101" wide, compared to 89" for the Skeeter WX 1790 T 2009. 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 WX 1790 T 2009 or the Skeeter ZX 24 V 2007?
The Skeeter ZX 24 V 2007 has the bigger tank at 80 gallons, versus 33 gallons on the Skeeter WX 1790 T 2009. 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 WX 1790 T 2009 and Skeeter ZX 24 V 2007 from the same manufacturer?
Yes - both the Skeeter WX 1790 T 2009 and the Skeeter ZX 24 V 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.
