Matching a deep vee Skeeter WX 1880 2007 against a modified vee Skeeter ZX 20 Bay 2011 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.
On paper these two are close siblings in the size department — Skeeter WX 1880 2007 at 18,0 ft versus Skeeter ZX 20 Bay 2011 at 19,7 ft. Weight tells a clearer story for trailering families: the Skeeter ZX 20 Bay 2011 tips the scales at 175 lbs — 157 lbs less than the Skeeter WX 1880 2007 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 200 hp, the Skeeter WX 1880 2007 has a 50-hp advantage over the Skeeter ZX 20 Bay 2011'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 ZX 20 Bay 2011 carries 45 gallons versus 4 gallons in the Skeeter WX 1880 2007. On a lake day that's negligible, but for coastal cruising or long reservoir runs the extra range matters.
For family outings this is probably the sharpest distinction between the two. The Skeeter WX 1880 2007 is rated for 6 passengers, while the Skeeter ZX 20 Bay 2011 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 1880 2007 could be the deciding factor.
Bottom line: Choose the Skeeter WX 1880 2007 if your priority is putting more people on the water — it handles 6 passengers and at 18,0 ft it has the deck room to back that rating up comfortably. The Skeeter ZX 20 Bay 2011 is the smarter pick if you want a lighter, easier-to-trailer boat rated for 5 that costs less to run day-to-day.
