2021 Nitro's

[BMCD]

Anything you guys would like to see on the next model year? Improvements, or options.

I would like to see Power poles as an option for the pro package, even a Lowrance option pro package.
24oz carpet option on the Z20.
A change in color options, Maybe a Multi colored console. Or ability to make a solid color boat. Like what Skeeter is doing.
New fender design on the trailers.

[KCLOST]

24oz carpet,,, yes
All SS latch option on Z20, Z19
Main switch for compartment lights instead of push button type
Storage drawer instead of swing out glove box on Z20

PP are an option on the pro, mine will have them I think it was 700 bucks to have them swapped with the talons from the factory. Lowrance option would be nice, personally I prefer the solix so I am glad thats what they have but I can see some wanting the hds live units. What I dont understand is the price of the elite package makes no sense compared to the pro. Its 3k at most in upgrades.

Think electronics size is the main upgrade on the elite now, course they have built in functionality on the lowrance for the pumps too.

I wish the Z-21’s could go back to the storage drawer on the side of the driver’s console like the Z-9’s had. Not a deal breaker, but I’m so accustomed to stowing my ccdw, wallet, sunglasses and car keys in that one, and using the port side one for bug spray, sun screen, and other bottles. That little bitty drawer gets used each and every single time I go fishing.

First off I will not be getting a 21 model, since I bought a 20 model.
My experience with me buying my 2020 Z20 in things I wished were stock items.

1- Why put on a 70 lp Maxxum TM?? I swapped mine out for a 36v 112 Fortrex.
2- A little 5" Lowrance?? I took that oiut and install my own graphs.
3- I wish the carpet was the 24oz like the Z21.
5- Vent fans as a standard option.
6- The drain plug already being a Flow-rite plug. They put the flow-rite in the live wells, might as well have done the main drain plug too. ( I installed it myself)
7- Standard adjustable seats.
8- Standard glove box on the passenger side. (Although you do have a very nice compartment between the seats that the tray pulls out and you have complete access to your fuel tank)

A super big improvement is they have sealed the bottom of the console and to get in to the back of the console and all the wiring you just take the windshield off. It is so much easier working in behind there hooking up stuff than on your back in the dark.


Of course adding these things will add to the cost of the boat, so I am assuming they do this to keep the price down.

No more chine walk

[ezfishn]

I don't understand why they can't standardize the quality of carpet. Are they really making more money by not doing it?

[BMCD]

No more chine walk

Kinda of a thing faster boats have to deal with....But I have not owned a Nitro that would not drive straight down the lake after setting it up correctly. Had a Z9 that was almost un driveable at speed, changed the prop and it ran down the lake without any chine.

I wish they would make all of their boats using same quality of material and hardware as is used on the Z21. At least make the Z20 equal without having to add a bunch of options.

I just bought a 2020 Z 21 pro package I put a 360 mega imaging on it I added a 12 inch solix to the bow and upgraded the 10 inch to a 12 inch on bow so that I have two 12s on the bow and I bought the bass boat technology dual mount for them also at the console I upgraded the 12 inch solix to a 15 inch solix with the bass boat technology mount I also put a hydraulic jack plate on back with the tilt brackets for he talons it comes with and I spent more buying the decale to the motor that match the color of the custom color of the boat also dual console also I upgraded the batteries to series 31 I cant think of anything to add to the boat next year I have the true one boat network everything talks to everything the only thing can think of I would like to see better Is the fiberglass fenders make them a little fancier the boat to me is as beautiful as any on the market

[BMCD]

I would like to see something better on the trailer bunks. Better carpet.

[Flippin 416]

Maybe a Gatorback option on the bunks?

[BMCD]

I will probaby do that on my next boat.

[1stindoor]

Having just replaced all of my bunks...I'll second the gatorback option.

[Ahabs_leg]

Love to see the Garmin Force as an option and I wish Nitro offer a SeaDeck option instead of carpet. That make me buy a new one!

They have a sea deck style snap in rug for the cockit area now as an option, I have seen one and it looks pretty nice.

[BMCD]

I have seen the snap in carpet option its not bad.

I noticed they have added the Lowrance Ghost as an option.

[Nailbender8]

Maybe a Gatorback option on the bunks?

I would like this as well.
