Skeeter WX 2000 T 2011 vs Skeeter ZX 225 2009: Same Brand, Different Boat

The Skeeter WX 2000 T 2011 is a deep-V design and the Skeeter ZX 225 2009 is a modified-V design, so you're likely deciding between two noticeably 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 225 2009 at 20,0 ft. At 1 800 lbs and 1 710 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 ZX 225 2009 has a 110-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. Fuel capacity breaks the other way: the Skeeter ZX 225 2009 carries 50 gallons versus 40 gallons in the Skeeter WX 2000 T 2011. On a lake day that's negligible, but for coastal cruising or long reservoir runs the extra range matters.

Both boats are rated for 5 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 ZX 225 2009 and its 225-hp ceiling. If fuel economy and quieter running matter more than top-end speed, the Skeeter WX 2000 T 2011 with its 115-hp rating is the more economical daily driver.

Skeeter WX 2000 T 2011 vs Skeeter ZX 225 2009 - Common Questions

Which is the larger boat - the Skeeter WX 2000 T 2011 or the Skeeter ZX 225 2009?
The Skeeter WX 2000 T 2011 is the longer of the two at 20,1 feet overall. The Skeeter ZX 225 2009 comes in at 20,0 feet, making it roughly 0,1 ft shorter - a meaningful difference in deck room and overall on-water presence.
Which is easier to trailer - the Skeeter WX 2000 T 2011 or the Skeeter ZX 225 2009?
For trailering, the Skeeter ZX 225 2009 has the edge at 1 710 lbs dry weight versus 1 800 lbs for the Skeeter WX 2000 T 2011. Add a motor (typically 300–500 lbs for an outboard in this class), gear, and a partial fuel load and the difference grows. Lighter is friendlier on smaller tow vehicles and on fuel economy while hauling.
Which boat can handle a bigger outboard?
The Skeeter ZX 225 2009 is rated to a maximum of 225 hp, giving it the larger power ceiling. The Skeeter WX 2000 T 2011 tops out at 115 hp. Keep in mind that maximum ratings are just that - matching the motor to the actual load and usage pattern usually matters more than chasing the ceiling.
How many people can each boat hold?
The Skeeter WX 2000 T 2011 is Coast Guard rated for 5 passengers, while the Skeeter ZX 225 2009 is certified for 5. Note that legal capacity and comfortable capacity aren't always the same thing - on a full day out, most experienced boaters aim for about 80% of the rated number to keep things comfortable.
Which boat is wider, and does it affect trailering?
The Skeeter WX 2000 T 2011 measures 99" wide, compared to 94" for the Skeeter ZX 225 2009. The US standard-width towing limit is 8’6" (102") in most states - anything over that may need a wide-load permit. Confirm your specific route requirements with each state's DOT.
Which boat has the larger fuel tank - the Skeeter WX 2000 T 2011 or the Skeeter ZX 225 2009?
The Skeeter ZX 225 2009 has the bigger tank at 50 gallons, versus 40 gallons on the Skeeter WX 2000 T 2011. That 10-gallon difference translates to roughly 30–50 nautical miles of additional range at cruising speed, depending on motor, load, and conditions.
Are the Skeeter WX 2000 T 2011 and Skeeter ZX 225 2009 from the same manufacturer?
Yes - both the Skeeter WX 2000 T 2011 and the Skeeter ZX 225 2009 are built by Skeeter. That means shared dealer networks, common parts availability, and consistent build quality across the line. The choice between them is essentially a question of how much boat you need, not which brand you trust.
