Matching a deep vee Skeeter WX 1790 T 2010 against a modified vee Skeeter ZX 200 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 WX 1790 T 2010 at 17,5 ft versus Skeeter ZX 200 2012 at 19,4 ft. Weight tells a clearer story for trailering families: the Skeeter ZX 200 2012 tips the scales at 163 lbs — 150 lbs less than the Skeeter WX 1790 T 2010 at 13 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 200 hp, the Skeeter ZX 200 2012 has a 120-hp advantage over the Skeeter WX 1790 T 2010'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 WX 1790 T 2010 carries 33 gallons versus 5 gallons in the Skeeter ZX 200 2012. 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 WX 1790 T 2010 is rated for 6 passengers, while the Skeeter ZX 200 2012 caps at 5. If you're regularly pulling extended family or a group of friends onto the water, the extra seats on the Skeeter WX 1790 T 2010 could be the deciding factor.
Bottom line: Choose the Skeeter WX 1790 T 2010 if your priority is putting more people on the water — it handles 6 passengers and at 17,5 ft it has the deck room to back that rating up comfortably. The Skeeter ZX 200 2012 is the smarter pick if you want a lighter, easier-to-trailer boat rated for 5 that costs less to run day-to-day.
