Ok have been trying to determine dfference between the 1850 and the 1900 Deep V series it appears boats are the same size with different HP rating is that the only difference is that based on change in transom any thoughts on either with the max horsepower with a T-8 if I kind find one or a 9.9 if I can’t. Anny other differences in inside options that I can’t seem to notice. Thanks in advance
I too see no difference other than what you mentioned. Me personaly, would go with 1900 from what I saw on wed site. I prefer tandom axle trailer and would definetely go with the 200 versus the 150. Then again, it’s all about preference, and of course, money.
my $.02
FYI you can get the 1850 with a tandem axle. 50 more ponies is nice ,but probaly cost a little more. I believe the new 1900 are going to come with 200HPDI instead of 4 stroke. Consoles are different between the 2.
Does anybody out there know why they are putting the 2 stroke on the 1900 instead of the 4 stroke now. Is the transom not strong enough when guys start hanging kickers on there.

Nothing to do with strength. The F200 4 strokes are heavy and when you add a kicker the boat sits lower in the water at the transom. The HPDI are much lighter. You could hang a 300 HP motor on the transom and strength would never be an issue.
When the SHO technology is incorporated into the 200 HP 4 stroke motors you’ll see more 4 strokers back on the 1900’s.

So James. Why the different boats in the same size (1850/1900)?
Are the consoles differnt and if so how? Also are there any other interior changes such as size of livewll or baitwell or snap in or out carpet? Can’t find the 1900 on teh comparison sheet on the Skeeter website any help appreciated.

I believe that the 1850 will stop being made once the life cycle of the factory molds come to an end.

Hi Everyone,
I will try to better explain the difference between the WX1900 and the WX1850.
The front deck is actually closer to the water on a WX1900 – see the first picture below – the silver and red boat is a WX1900 and both trailers are at the same height – notice the downward curve on the bow versus the blue WX1850 behind it. The upward sweep of the WX1850 bow gives more deck height, thus deeper bow storage than the WX1900.
Next, look at the 2 transom pictures – the blue transom (the second picture) is a WX1900 – that transom goes 100% straight down to the bottom of the hull – this gives you the structural integrity to achieve the maximum horsepower rating of 200 (in either the 2 stroke HPDI or the 4 stroke F200). The 3rd picture (the silver transom) is a WX1850 – notice the step in the transom – the step is the biggest reason for the 150 hp rating – that being said, if you had a WX1900 and a WX1850 that were both powered by a F150 four stroke, the WX1850 would be 1 to 2 mph faster than the WX1900.
The WX1900 has modular consoles with digital controls – please see the 4th picture below – this is a WX1900 modular console assembly. The WX1850 has consoles that are molded to the bow cap.
Other WX1900 highlights:
Tandem axle trailer – standard. (WX1850 has a single axle trailer standard – tandem optional)
3 bank battery charger – standard (WX1850 charger optional)
1 fuel tank – 40 gallon (WX1850 has 2 fuel tanks)
Snap in carpeting (WX1850 has glued in carpeting)
Please let me know if you have any more questions!
Thanks,

Thanks very much, in the process of gathering details as I sold my boat a few weeks ago and have this HUGE gaping hole in my garage I must fill.
Kizew,
Am I not seeing the HP rating correctly? On SBC, the 1850’s and the 1900’s both show Max HP ratings of 200 hp.
Is this not correct?

Correct, that is NOT CORRECT. The WX1850 is rated for 150hp and the WX1900 is rated for 200hp.
Wade,
Thank you. That makes much more sense now. I was having a hard time understanding why the 2 were same length, width, hp rating, etc. Why have 2 different models for essentially the same boat.
I was looking at the info on Skeeter Boat Center. I looked on Skeeterboats.com and the max hp rating is different for the 2.
