    618 vs 818 what is the difference in the two?

    I知 gonna be in the market for a new boat I was gonna go with a Nitro Z18 pro package . But now I知 leaning towards the Phoenix I see both of the 618 and 818 are the same size. Is there something I知 missing?

    818 replaces 618. 818 carries width farther up in the nose. otherswise the same.

    highly recommend you study the build on a bird. look at the latches, finish inside boxes, etc. it is very good and the 818 has the same build quality as the big models

    Look forward to what you find out. I sold my 721 this year and am thinking about going back to a bird boat, the 818 intrigues me!

    Went to dealer today had them quote the 818 & 819 both dual console 10” helix and 8’ blades
    200 hp on 819 and 175 on 818. Hopefully he’ll get back to me on Monday with the numbers.

    should be interesting. clearly the 819 a bit better in rough water and faster. For me, it was about getting the boat in my garage and under my carport in Florida. The 19 would not fit in my Garage and a duel axle would make getting it under my car port in Florida very difficult. If you have a truck and space, then I think clearly the 19 wins. That said, I have no regrets about the 618 and would buy it again.

    Keeping an eye out for what your dealer quotes you. I really like the look of both! Prefer the 818 for garage storage
