Detailed Evaluation & Buyer Recommendation
Skeeter WX 1790 T 2011 vs Skeeter ZXR 20 2022 — Same Brand, Different Boat
The Skeeter WX 1790 T 2011 vs Skeeter ZXR 20 2022 comparison sits squarely in the category of decisions where specs alone won't tell the whole story — intended use, storage, and long-term ownership costs all factor in.
The power gap is worth calling out. Rated to 250 hp, the Skeeter ZXR 20 2022 has a 170-hp advantage over the Skeeter WX 1790 T 2011's 80-hp ceiling — enough to notice on acceleration and at cruising speed, particularly with a full passenger load.
Both boats are rated for 6 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 ZXR 20 2022 at 20,0 ft is the right call if deck space, comfort, and entertaining are top of your list. The Skeeter WX 1790 T 2011 at 17,5 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.
