Matching a tunnel Skeeter ZX 22 Bay T 2010 against a modified vee Skeeter ZX 24 V 2011 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 2010 at 21,8 ft versus Skeeter ZX 24 V 2011 at 24,1 ft. Weight tells a clearer story for trailering families: the Skeeter ZX 22 Bay T 2010 tips the scales at 1 851 lbs — 1 567 lbs more than the Skeeter ZX 24 V 2011 at 284 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 300 hp, the Skeeter ZX 24 V 2011 has a 50-hp advantage over the Skeeter ZX 22 Bay T 2010'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 2011 at 24,1 ft is the right call if deck space, comfort, and entertaining are top of your list. The Skeeter ZX 22 Bay T 2010 at 21,8 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.
