Ppl that can afford the 24ft boats and skeeters and all that.. aren’t worried about storage lol the deal is you got to get what you can or what’s best for you. You don’t need any of it but it’s nice to have it all of it.
I own a 2018 Z18 with a 150, I love my boat, but 57,58 mph is average. 61 was absolutely the max I got out of it. Going to install a jack plate on it so I can squeeze a couple more out of her. I do also run 2/8’ power poles
He’s not getting 70. That’s literally impossible.
Found this roaming around, I am a Cass Cat owner. I think an important things you talked about is storage. My garage is 22' x 22". I could shove a 20 in there and angle it but I have motorcycles so it had to go straight in straight so my Pantera II is a 19 footer with a 200. Straight in there is 1 1/2" in the back and 1 1/2" on the front. As I see it the two problems you had wernt with the"BOAT! but things attached to it. What I think of a boat problem its hull, wiring, plumbing, things like this. This Cat is a 21 and second time out I had a "Motor" issue. it wouldnt go into forward gear but would go in reverse. I turned it off and then it wouldnt start. I was still at the dock (Whew). Like yours a damn sensor failure !in shifting module. But just thought id say Good Job.
Honesty i made some good memories with mine but in the end I was not a happy camper and it was a 2014. It took forever to get on plane. So embarrassing the first tournament I did. Im on the front line and everybody zipped past me before I even got on plane. Secondly there thin and the hulls are not made to last or take the inevitable bumps and bruises. Its served a purpose in my life, and for that I'm forever grateful. But it lost all its luster after a year.
I own a 2010, Nitro Z-7. I purchased. It New. I put a 150 four Stroke on it and I reached 60 mph ( gps), however most of the time it runs 57-58 gps. I had a "Hooked" hull and NITRO "White water marine group" replaced my hull in 2019.
Lol while I own a new boat, you can’t go wrong with any well kept boat made in the last 10 years.
I went with a Skeeter FXR 21 Apex this winter, upgrading from my Nitro Z18. I liked my Z18 a lot, but it’s quality is a long ways from the Skeeter.
The only thing the Nitro did better was give me a dryer ride, and cost a little less to run fuel wise. The 250hp Yamaha is a pig compared to the 175 on my Z18.
In every other category, the skeeter is better. Fit and finish most of all.
Both fantastic boats though. I kept my z18 as a family fishing boat to use with my son, and to let him fish the high school leagues with, and it’s never given me trouble beyond the seat decals and a burnt circulator pump, both of which were fixed by my dealer. They had a new livewell pump in my boat before we launched Saturday morning, and it happened on the water Friday afternoon during practice.
Definitely worth the purchase. I fished a lot in mine.
I have had no major problems with my 1997 884 savage . For 24 years did you hear that. Yes your carpet will need replaced after 24 years . The original trolling motor was still working . I got the wireless xi5 because my balance isn’t as good stepping on peddle. My graphs were at least 15 years old . S o I just update to HDs live . I have no power poles or talens. I don’t need them
I have owned a nitro boat for 24 years and still looks brand new . A nitro 884 savage with a 150 hp merc efi . I replaced my carpet trolling motor and upgraded my graphs. It’s 18.6 feet long
73 with a 150 on a Z18? LOL! Even Nitro says 56 - 61 MPH. You couldn't see that with the optional 175. I assume that you meant on the highway behind the truck while being towed to the lake!
I’m running 74.4 with a 200 on my tr-20. All on how you set up the boat.
I'm topping out 71.6 on a 21' Z19 with the 200 V8. No chance a 150 is getting to 70.
I agree! With 150hp he is way off. My z18 with 175hp basically running empty no gear half tank of gas and down river I hit 68mph gps with 24p fury 5800 rpm. Vessel view to prove it. A 150hp doing better than that...yeah right
Maybe behind his tow vehicle going down a highway 😂
He thinks he's going 70 until a boat going 70 blows right by him.🤣
I had a Nitro back in the 90's. I had a lot of headaches w it. Issues w the ignition "system" over and over. Starter and flywheel problems. However, I am seriously looking at the new Z18 Pro model for next year. One of my besties has had his Nitro 19 footer for >10 years and loves it. Retired mailman here and need to get outdoors and do some relaxing fishing.
Yeah def look into it because I love my nitro I can customize it how ever I want just all the extras you get with other boats some fisherman don’t use it or don’t even know how to use it as well! Look around for some outdoor shows because some bass boat dealers bring boats to look at! But def get back on the water and start fishing!
Those don't sound like Nitro problems
I was thinking about getting an aluminum boat but I might consider the Nitro as well.
I was looking at trackers and nitros at the same time and turns out that the Z 18 upgraded the right way actually turns out the same price as the z17 the lower version fiberglass boat and turns out it’s the same price per month as a tracker 175
So what I thought to myself why get a smaller or Aluminum boat when I can get a bigger fiberglass boat for the same price
How would you know if it's more stable when you have been in nothing else hell how would you know how it compares in any way
That’s funny. I had a Z18 with a 150 4 stroke and could barely crack 60😂 Sold it
Prop makes a difference
@@CrispyStrahan no 13 mph difference lol
Love the boat i have a 2021 z18 with a 175 pro sx with 23 fury prop and jack plate maybe 64 mph tops. There no way ur doing 70 with a 150..
Anyway tks for the video
Was that 70 on GPS or on the speedometer on the boat. Hard to believe 70 from a stock 150? Had a Nitro as my first boat and liked it but beat you to hell in any waves. Very thin hull.
He's definitely not going 70s that's for sure. A Phoenix 919pro tournament ready hits mid to high 70s max and that's considered the rocket boat.
My buddies own 2019 and 2020 nitros z19 and 20s and they're topping off at lower to mid 70s so how's a 150 with no hydraulic jack plate getting 70s? 🤣
That white river hull ain't got it.
I've owned many boats ain't no way your boat goes 68-70. I've had slow boats like yours with 150's on them. I currently run a 400r and it's only a 102mph boat.
😂😂😂😂
We got the 2021 z21 nitro with a helix 12 and 10
Curious, were you able to negotiate a discount or freebies?
Brother you’re gonna need to do a video of your 70mph speeds.
Man that was literally prime conditions zero wind no water current like it was something that u would only pray to happen again lmfao u have go pro footage from that day I’ll post that to the channel !!
@@TopWaterTom prime conditions are a little chop. Glass will slow you down
3:19 I love story time!
Good stuff Tom.
I have a z20 with a 250 proxs4.
I have a hard time believing you hit 65 + much less 73.
I wasnt there but it's just hard to believe.
Yeah I agree. I have a 16 z18 with 175hp mercury proxs and hit 68mph gps with 24p fury down river at 5800 rpm. But it really start to be unstable. I do easy 65mph. Remember that's a 175hp
He’s getting 55 or so most likely.
I own a 2018 z19 and hit 70 mph twice..with me only and half tank gas
73 with a 150 behind the truck otw to lake .I own many nitro bass boats. Your boat dont even have enough motor to chime walk ..lol 😆 though
"Chine"
Glitter rocket
Beam - great
Storage - great
Hull - dog shit
The hull is actually good
@Chris aaron anything coming out of White River Marine is dog shit
👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻
Seems like you’re a bit biased my man I bought a fully loaded 5 year old Phoenix 819 with a 200hp merc dual blade poles, 3 9inch graphs 1 12 inch, livescope, 36v ultrex, 3 lithium batteries an 4bank charger for 34k$ and I barely hit 70 in that btw. I’d much rather have my Phoenix then my previous nitro or my previous triton
No way you got all that for 34k straight up. What dealer?
Ur funny you've been a boat owner for a whole year and you think ya know about boats funny shit 😎
73 mph with a 150...Most stable....You have got to be kidding me.
Don't believe the speed but they are stable. They fish really well
Nitro are cheaper than everyone else because their build quality isn't as good as everyone else.
The worst part of a nitro is that they come with a mercury
Hi meet my wife and I. We are not pro's. We are getting a 2022 Z20 250 hp mercury pro XS. 64,000.00. Retired and disabled both of us . you want something bad enough, you'll figure out how to get it.
Keep a tight line
Can I ask how much your monthly bill is for the boat?
$355 not including insurance
Dude..your boat is not running 70mph.
Paid 9k for a 06 nitro 750 dc wit under 300 hours on it, just do your research
Just buy a bass cat instead
No way 68 70 mph with a 150......NO WAY
Buy a Bass Cat
I think you’re about full of crap on that speed
Nitro boats are not top of the line
The “Hyundia” of bass boats. Terrible design. Use cheap materials. Will fall apart just give it time. No resale value. Get a Champion 210 you’ll be happy.
