Both the Skeeter WX 1880 2009 and the Skeeter WX 1990 2011 are deep-V designs, both built in composite, so 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 1880 2009 at 18,0 ft versus Skeeter WX 1990 2011 at 19,8 ft. At 1 800 lbs and 1 825 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 225 hp, the Skeeter WX 1990 2011 has a 25-hp advantage over the Skeeter WX 1880 2009's 200-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 1990 2011 carries 52 gallons versus 40 gallons in the Skeeter WX 1880 2009. 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: Performance buyers should lean toward the Skeeter WX 1990 2011 and its 225-hp ceiling. If fuel economy and quieter running matter more than top-end speed, the Skeeter WX 1880 2009 with its 200-hp rating is the more economical daily driver.
