Question 1

How much does a used Skeeter SX230 cost?

Accepted Answer

Right now US Marine Connection shows 4 approved SX230 listings with asking prices from $69,305 to $98,050, with a median of $80,564. Those are asking prices, not what anyone actually paid. The top of that range is a dealer demo with a Yamaha F300XCB and a tandem axle trailer included; the lower-priced boats are rigged with Yamaha VF250XB power.

Question 2

What years of the SX230 are for sale?

Accepted Answer

The SX230s listed now fall in the 2025 to 2027 model years. It is a small group, just 4 boats, so the year spread is thin and there is nothing older than 2025 on the site at the moment. The 2025 in the group is a dealer demo unit; the rest are described by their sellers as new units.

Question 3

How many hours is typical on a used SX230?

Accepted Answer

There is not enough data to call anything typical. Only one of the 4 SX230 descriptions states hours at all, and it lists 125 hours on the motor for a dealer demo boat. The other three are described as new units with no hours given. If hours matter to you, ask the seller directly, since most of these listings simply do not publish that number.

Question 4

What should I check before buying a used SX230?

Accepted Answer

Since these are 2025 to 2027 boats, start with paperwork: one description notes the boat and motor were not yet registered for warranty, so confirm warranty status and transfer in writing. Verify stated hours, since only one listing gives them. Check the Yamaha outboard's service history, look over the included trailer where one is listed, and test the electronics and audio system. On a center console, inspect the hull bottom, livewell plumbing and all deck hatches.

Question 5

What features come on the SX230?

Accepted Answer

Only one listing details equipment. That 2025 demo has a Yamaha F300XCB outboard, a Skeeter tandem axle trailer included, Stone and Black hull color, tan upholstery, black rub rail, a Fusion audio system and a console baitwell. The other three Houston boats list little beyond a Yamaha VF250XB engine and roughly 23 feet 6 inches length overall. Ask the seller for a full option sheet on those.

Question 6

Is the SX230 good for fishing?

Accepted Answer

The listings point that way. Every SX230 on the site is a center console, one seller calls it a bay boat, and the most detailed listing includes a console baitwell along with a tandem axle trailer. Nothing in the descriptions addresses offshore capability or family seating, so judge those in person. What the facts support is a trailerable, fishing-oriented center console in the 23 foot range.

Question 7

Where can I find a SX230 for sale near me?

Accepted Answer

All 4 SX230s on US Marine Connection have photos. Three are in Houston, Texas and one is in Port Charlotte, Florida. That is the whole current footprint for this model, so if you are outside Texas or Florida you would be traveling or arranging shipping yourself. Check back over time, since the mix of cities changes as listings come and go.

Question 8

How does the SX230 compare to the ZXE21 or the SX241?

Accepted Answer

On price and selection, the ZXE21 has 20 listings from $75,438 to $86,150, median $86,150, in model years 2026 to 2027. The SX241 shows 11 listings from $90,555 to $129,311, median $90,555, all 2027. The SX230's 4 boats span $69,305 to $98,050 with an $80,564 median. So the SX230 starts lower than either but offers far fewer boats to choose from.
