Matching a tunnel Skeeter ZX 22 Bay T 2009 against a modified vee Skeeter ZX 24 V 2007 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 ZX 22 Bay T 2009 at 21,0 ft versus Skeeter ZX 24 V 2007 at 24,0 ft. At 185 lbs and 255 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 300 hp, the Skeeter ZX 24 V 2007 has a 50-hp advantage over the Skeeter ZX 22 Bay T 2009's 250-hp ceiling — enough to notice on acceleration and at cruising speed, particularly with a full passenger load. Both carry nearly identical fuel loads — 6 gal and 8 gal — so range won't be a tiebreaker here.
Both boats are rated for 8 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: The Skeeter ZX 24 V 2007 at 24,0 ft is the right call if deck space, comfort, and entertaining are top of your list. The Skeeter ZX 22 Bay T 2009 at 21,0 ft wins on trailering ease, likely lower purchase price, and simpler docking — a solid choice for a buyer who wants more boat for less money.
