I bought a new 2018 z18 in 2018 from foothills also for $33k OTD. I can't believe how much they have gone up. To me, the pro package seems like a waste of money. If you can afford to, pay cash for all of your add ons, gradually build instead of paying interest on it on the loan.

Just installed, reading all zeros on maintenance. Will it stay like this until the first time I run it or did I mess something up?

Thanks for the update. I've watched your video of when you got the boat at least 10 times. I plan on buying a nitro in about a year. Overall seems like a great boat.

Would really like to know how you added the storage between the seats.😊

Where did you get the throttle cable and gear cable

Awesome job on the completion young man!

Hope you used stainless steel staples or the regular ones will rust and come apart and so will the carpeting. Don't ask me how I know! That moving carpet should have been more comfortable under your knees not your toes. So far this is turning out really nice! BTW I thought you said you were going to raise the front to make a platform.

Do you have a link off this throttle control set up? I’m fixing to be replacing mine with a new one

Dope

Thank you for the video showing how you ran your harness. I too have the Mercury 150 and wasn't sure of the best place to mount it. Good job!

The gl 10 box has an Earth ground Symbol on the back not a negative to the battery this is to prevent RF interference, yes your battery negative is grounded to the motor, and the motor is grounded in the water, but when you ground to negative on battery the RF and blue tooth signal can travel through all the units connected to the battery if you have interference. You need to ground the gl 10 to a water ground some boats have a ground in the hull some have a metal plate under the dash. VHF hi-power radios must have water ground it would mess up your electrical system. I talked to Garmin Tech about this on the phone. If you have a problem water ground!

I wouldn’t say it’s a good idea to have your engine running with throttle on the muffs. I could be wrong that’s just what I’ve been told. Very helpful video tho you helped me so I’m trying to help you lol. I guess it burns up the water pump or the engine or something I can’t remember

It looked like the seat pedestal screws were pretty small for long term durability. Now 2 years later how are they holding up?

would the live well valve not be under warranty?

This Is the build I want and need for the river here it's perfect 👌

I subscribed. Put a mushroom screw bolt then a washer on both sides the a lock nut on every😅 thingbwill eliminate that problem I would put a lid lock on cooler with lids. Put some e6000 and a small hose lock or zipties

Hey man I’m thinking about do this to my 16 ft Dixie but I’m terrified when looking for the parts. There’s sooo much out there. What parts did u use? And how has the throttle control been working for you? I noticed you jiggle it around a little when getting it close to neutral.

so the first 3 mins of the video is you busting a non nitro product. Yea, bad way to start a Nitro review.

If you can buy the carb of a 50HP Force, it will swap right over and you will get a bit more top end speed

I rebuilt a bass tracker. I added an electric winch…that is a great addition with sitting way at the back….though we do a lot of cat fishing with a 9y old…..he can’t do the anchor without a button

Looks great. I have the same motor….I sure like how easy it is to work on. Not sure i would want to buy something newer and more difficult to work on

Is the control box you are using is compatible with 90hp suzuki?

Did the transducer come with that trollling motto shaft bracket?

Sick video brother!

Can I connect my graph and black box to one cut off switch ? I don’t guess it would hurt anything

FYI, I just installed the same throttle control and the trim stopped working for me too a day or 2 later. Thanks for sharing that part. Replacement relays did the job. Thank you! Anymore problems with the relays since then? I'll probably keep a couple extra on the boat just in case

Those relays will go bad when they arent used for a long period of and then used again. Idk but ive ran into a couple of times. Theyll work then pop. 🤷‍♂️

I'm glad to see I'm not the only extremely meticulous boat guy out there.. 😂 I rehab and flip boats myself. It's an addiction bringing older bass boats back to life, sell em, make a little and start over.

Whelp, when you went into the commercial for subscribing I quit watching right away. I don’t do commercials.👎

Looking into this but concerned with rods getting rub wear loosely sitting against the blank. I've had two expensive rods just rub on each other before from road and lake motion. Any word two years later on how this aged?

He will probably be redoing all that work inside of 3 years because he didn't seal the wood. Other than that, it looks like he did some nice work.

I've been looking at boats lately and I'm gonna be buying one in a year, good to know nitro is a good boat to have.. I'm close to Hartwell lake in sc. I'm definitely looking into the z18. I'm not a tournament guy. Just take me, my kids, or friends out fishing..

I just put a deposit to have one built that’ll be delivered in 4-6 weeks. Should I look for anything specifically at delivery?

I will be doing this in a few day. Fingers crossed. 96 Force 50hp coming off 2005 Mercury 75hp going in. Boat tracker deep V 17 the wiring is iffy at best. Going to make it useable this year. 2025 total rebuild foam , wiring, add kicker. Deck lights. Thank you

Nicely done video content !!!

Too short to wear large size sunglasses 😎.

this is gold, tnks so much!!

are you using Gen 1 or Gen 2 control cables?

Just put a deposit down in a 2018 z18 with 140 hrs on it! Cannot wait to enjoy this rig

What kind of 8 gauge are you using?

You matched the reg numbers the exact color blue, mad props

What color registration numbers did you go with?

Push key to choke on theese controls or is it the lever that goes up and down

Watching you rub her is nice 👍

Nothing about this improves on the long available Versiplug.

how do you like the color ?

good job i must say

Great job. But also there can be an electric box instead of mechanical please??? . I subscribe from Netherlands 🇳🇱.

One of the best videos ever on how to install cables and such. I'm definitely a subscriber!
