When two boats share the same hull type — in this case both the Skeeter WX 1850 2011 and the Skeeter WX 2000 T 2009 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?
Size is the most obvious dividing line here. The Skeeter WX 1850 2011 measures 18,8 feet overall (2011), giving it roughly 16,8 additional feet of deck space compared to the Skeeter WX 2000 T 2009 at 2,0 feet (2009). 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.
Both boats share a closely matched power ceiling — 150 hp for the Skeeter WX 1850 2011 and 150 hp for the Skeeter WX 2000 T 2009. 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. Both carry nearly identical fuel loads — 4 gal and 4 gal — so range won't be a tiebreaker here.
For family outings this is probably the sharpest distinction between the two. The Skeeter WX 1850 2011 is rated for 6 passengers, while the Skeeter WX 2000 T 2009 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 1850 2011 could be the deciding factor.
Bottom line: Choose the Skeeter WX 1850 2011 if your priority is putting more people on the water — it handles 6 passengers and at 18,8 ft it has the deck room to back that rating up comfortably. The Skeeter WX 2000 T 2009 is the smarter pick if you want a lighter, easier-to-trailer boat rated for 5 that costs less to run day-to-day.
