Matching a deep vee Skeeter WX 2000 T 2011 against a tunnel Skeeter ZX 22 Bay T 2012 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 2000 T 2011 at 20,1 ft versus Skeeter ZX 22 Bay T 2012 at 21,8 ft. Weight tells a clearer story for trailering families: the Skeeter ZX 22 Bay T 2012 tips the scales at 207 lbs — 189 lbs less than the Skeeter WX 2000 T 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 2012 has a 135-hp advantage over the Skeeter WX 2000 T 2011's 115-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 2012 is rated for 8 passengers, while the Skeeter WX 2000 T 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 ZX 22 Bay T 2012 could be the deciding factor.
Bottom line: Choose the Skeeter ZX 22 Bay T 2012 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 2000 T 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.
