Skeeter WX 1850 2011 vs Skeeter WX 1900 2010 — A Close Look at Two Deep Vees

When two boats share the same hull type — in this case both the Skeeter WX 1850 2011 and the Skeeter WX 1900 2010 are deep vee designs with composite construction — the buying decision usually comes down to a handful of practical questions: how many people are you putting on the water, how far do you trailer, and what does your tow vehicle weigh?

On paper these two are close siblings in the size department — Skeeter WX 1850 2011 at 18,8 ft versus Skeeter WX 1900 2010 at 18,8 ft. At 18 lbs and 18 lbs respectively, both sit in a similar weight class — either should pair comfortably with most mid-size SUVs and half-ton trucks, though always confirm your specific tow rating with the motor added.

The power gap is worth calling out. Rated to 200 hp, the Skeeter WX 1900 2010 has a 50-hp advantage over the Skeeter WX 1850 2011's 150-hp ceiling — enough to notice on acceleration and at cruising speed, particularly with a full passenger load. Both carry nearly identical fuel loads — 4 gal and 4 gal — so range won't be a tiebreaker here.

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: Performance buyers should lean toward the Skeeter WX 1900 2010 and its 200-hp ceiling. If fuel economy and quieter running matter more than top-end speed, the Skeeter WX 1850 2011 with its 150-hp rating is the more economical daily driver.

Skeeter WX 1850 2011 vs Skeeter WX 1900 2010 — Common Questions

Which is the larger boat — the Skeeter WX 1850 2011 or the Skeeter WX 1900 2010?
The Skeeter WX 1900 2010 is the longer of the two at 18,8 feet overall. The Skeeter WX 1850 2011 comes in at 18,8 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 WX 1850 2011 or the Skeeter WX 1900 2010?
For trailering, the Skeeter WX 1900 2010 has the edge at 18 lbs dry weight versus 18 lbs for the Skeeter WX 1850 2011. 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 WX 1900 2010 is rated to a maximum of 200 hp, giving it the larger power ceiling. The Skeeter WX 1850 2011 tops out at 150 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 1850 2011 is Coast Guard rated for 6 passengers, while the Skeeter WX 1900 2010 is certified for 6. 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 WX 1850 2011 and Skeeter WX 1900 2010 share an 95 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.
How do the fuel tanks compare on the Skeeter WX 1850 2011 and Skeeter WX 1900 2010?
Both boats carry similar fuel loads — 4 gallons and 4 gallons respectively. Range will depend heavily on motor choice, throttle usage, and whether you're on flat lake water or coastal chop.
Are the Skeeter WX 1850 2011 and Skeeter WX 1900 2010 from the same manufacturer?
Yes — both the Skeeter WX 1850 2011 and the Skeeter WX 1900 2010 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.
