Skeeter ZX 20 2013 vs Skeeter ZX 22 Bay T 2010: Same Brand, Different Boat

The Skeeter ZX 20 2013 is a modified-V design and the Skeeter ZX 22 Bay T 2010 is a tunnel hull 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 ZX 20 2013 at 20,2 ft versus Skeeter ZX 22 Bay T 2010 at 21,8 ft. Weight tells a clearer story for trailering families: the Skeeter ZX 20 2013 tips the scales at 2 020 lbs - 169 lbs more than the Skeeter ZX 22 Bay T 2010 at 1 851 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.

Both boats share a closely matched power ceiling - 250 hp for the Skeeter ZX 20 2013 and 250 hp for the Skeeter ZX 22 Bay T 2010. Real-world performance will come down more to which motor is actually bolted on, its load at the time, and whether it's a 4-stroke or 2-stroke setup. Fuel capacity breaks the other way: the Skeeter ZX 22 Bay T 2010 carries 60 gallons versus 50 gallons in the Skeeter ZX 20 2013. 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 ZX 22 Bay T 2010 is rated for 8 passengers, while the Skeeter ZX 20 2013 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 2010 could be the deciding factor.

Bottom line: Choose the Skeeter ZX 22 Bay T 2010 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 ZX 20 2013 is the smarter pick if you want a lighter, easier-to-trailer boat rated for 5 that costs less to run day-to-day.

Skeeter ZX 20 2013 vs Skeeter ZX 22 Bay T 2010 - Common Questions

Which is the larger boat - the Skeeter ZX 20 2013 or the Skeeter ZX 22 Bay T 2010?
The Skeeter ZX 22 Bay T 2010 is the longer of the two at 21,8 feet overall. The Skeeter ZX 20 2013 comes in at 20,2 feet, making it roughly 1,7 ft shorter - a meaningful difference in deck room and overall on-water presence.
Which is easier to trailer - the Skeeter ZX 20 2013 or the Skeeter ZX 22 Bay T 2010?
For trailering, the Skeeter ZX 22 Bay T 2010 has the edge at 1 851 lbs dry weight versus 2 020 lbs for the Skeeter ZX 20 2013. 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.
How many people can each boat hold?
The Skeeter ZX 20 2013 is Coast Guard rated for 5 passengers, while the Skeeter ZX 22 Bay T 2010 is certified for 8. 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 ZX 22 Bay T 2010 measures 98" wide, compared to 94" for the Skeeter ZX 20 2013. 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 ZX 20 2013 or the Skeeter ZX 22 Bay T 2010?
The Skeeter ZX 22 Bay T 2010 has the bigger tank at 60 gallons, versus 50 gallons on the Skeeter ZX 20 2013. 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 ZX 20 2013 and Skeeter ZX 22 Bay T 2010 from the same manufacturer?
Yes - both the Skeeter ZX 20 2013 and the Skeeter ZX 22 Bay T 2010 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.
