Matching a deep vee Skeeter WX 1990 2011 against a modified vee Skeeter ZX 200 2009 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 1990 2011 at 19,8 ft versus Skeeter ZX 200 2009 at 19,0 ft. Weight tells a clearer story for trailering families: the Skeeter WX 1990 2011 tips the scales at 1 825 lbs — 1 662 lbs more than the Skeeter ZX 200 2009 at 163 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 WX 1990 2011 has a 25-hp advantage over the Skeeter ZX 200 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 5 gallons in the Skeeter ZX 200 2009. 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 1990 2011 is rated for 6 passengers, while the Skeeter ZX 200 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 1990 2011 could be the deciding factor.
Bottom line: Choose the Skeeter WX 1990 2011 if your priority is putting more people on the water — it handles 6 passengers and at 19,8 ft it has the deck room to back that rating up comfortably. The Skeeter ZX 200 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.
