Matching a deep vee Skeeter WX 1850 2011 against a tunnel Skeeter ZX 22 Bay T 2010 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.
Size is the most obvious dividing line here. The Skeeter ZX 22 Bay T 2010 measures 21,8 feet overall (2010), giving it roughly 3,1 additional feet of deck space compared to the Skeeter WX 1850 2011 at 18,8 feet (2011). Weight tells a clearer story for trailering families: the Skeeter ZX 22 Bay T 2010 tips the scales at 1 851 lbs — 1 833 lbs less than the Skeeter WX 1850 2011 at 18 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 250 hp, the Skeeter ZX 22 Bay T 2010 has a 100-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 6 gal — so range won't be a tiebreaker here.
For family outings this is probably the sharpest distinction between the two. The Skeeter ZX 22 Bay T 2010 is rated for 8 passengers, while the Skeeter WX 1850 2011 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 22 Bay T 2010 could be the deciding factor.
Bottom line: Choose the Skeeter ZX 22 Bay T 2010 if your priority is putting more people on the water — it handles 8 passengers and at 21,8 ft it has the deck room to back that rating up comfortably. The Skeeter WX 1850 2011 is the smarter pick if you want a lighter, easier-to-trailer boat rated for 6 that costs less to run day-to-day.
