Matching a deep vee Skeeter WX 1850 2013 against a modified vee Skeeter ZX 225 2007 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 WX 1850 2013 measures 18,8 feet overall (2013), giving it roughly 16,8 additional feet of deck space compared to the Skeeter ZX 225 2007 at 2,0 feet (2007). Weight tells a clearer story for trailering families: the Skeeter ZX 225 2007 tips the scales at 171 lbs — 152 lbs less than the Skeeter WX 1850 2013 at 19 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 225 hp, the Skeeter ZX 225 2007 has a 75-hp advantage over the Skeeter WX 1850 2013's 150-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 1850 2013 carries 34 gallons versus 5 gallons in the Skeeter ZX 225 2007. On a lake day that's negligible, but for coastal cruising or long reservoir runs the extra range matters.
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 WX 1850 2013 at 18,8 ft is the right call if deck space, comfort, and entertaining are top of your list. The Skeeter ZX 225 2007 at 2,0 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.
