    Nitro Cockpit Room

    In 2018 I went to a Nitro dealer to explore their boats and got in the driver's seat of a Z18, Z19, Z20, and Z21. I currently own a 19 1/2 footer and prefer that size. I was disappointed in the Z19, because even with the seat slid all the way back, I didn't have the leg room I desired because my shins were up against the bottom of the dash, which I hate. I had to go to the Z20 before my shins no longer hit the bottom of the dash with my left foot braced against the front of the cockpit and my other foot on the hot foot pedal. I read somewhere that they had redesigned the Z18 for 2019 to have more legroom at the dash. Is that true and did they do it for the Z19 as well?

    Thanks!

    They lowered the seat on the 2020 models. Just check the specs on the nitro website.
    Tight lines!

    I'm 6'2" and I never come close to hitting the console with my knees. There is tons of room in the new boats and the seat is adjustable.
