i try to remember to post couple pic when i get it.

Absolutely love my z21, coming out of a z19. The ride is as good as any 21fter I've been. It'll run 70-72 loaded up, depending on the size of my coangler...lol. Me and my 17 year old son ran 71.4 last month....it's like driving a tank, but fast.

[chevy50999]

Would you say 89 or 92 gas ? Or 100 % gas ?

[1stindoor]

I've always run the low grade and have never had any issues.

[wildkat7]

Always run 87 octane.....never a problem. If I'm going to store the boat for more than a month (rarely happens), I add some Marine Stabil.

[Andrebass]

book says 87-89 octane with fuel stabilizer at every fill up. I believe it cuts the alcohol down

I run 87 regular gas, never an issue. If I knew it was going to sit around a while I'd maybe go with non ethanol and worry about treating it, but I run through a decent amount of gas year round

I like to say Thanks for all the replys. I order the Z21 yesturday. They said 12 weeks. Your right the carpet is 24 oz in Z21 and 16oz in z20. The color i got from from trailer fender to inside of boat. Colors are- fenders sterling silver/black trailer. Gunmetal grey hull, sterling silver side then blue fame then sterling silver strip the Voodoo blue around the word Z21, with black z21 sticker. Sterling silver consoler and inside of boat, the pin strip is Flame blue/voodoo blue. Seats are black/grey and blueberry asceet.
It should look very sharp with my Light silver GMC pickup.
It will be fun learning to use this boat but shock when I have to fill it up the first day LOL LOL. BUT YOU ONLY LIVE ONE TIME.

Awesome choice! Our boats will probably see each other on the factory floor. I ordered mine on the 28th.

Just follow the break in procedure, two hours of varied rpm under 4500 with one minute bursts of full throttle every ten minutes. For next 8 hours don’t run full throttle continually for more than 5 minutes I believe.

I used to live in NJ so I know what you mean. It was 60's today here in guntersville. You can really fish here all year around. It dos get warm in summer but its better then that cold and snow I had to get into work every morning.

Just heard from the Sales Manager today... Looks like mine is due in late December for delivery... So I'll get to stare at it for a while before I get to do anything with it. So jealous you will get to splash yours.

We have a bit of a hard water problem up north during the winter months that makes launching a boat difficult. They slide real good, but don't really float.

It be kind of hard to stand up straight and fish with the leaning problem you will have.

Sucks you have to winterize it for a few months before using.

Would it be worth to ask about delaying warranty start time for a few months

[chevy50999]

First I have to setup my humminbirds. I will do that myself. I think i will be in shock when i first see it. I had a old alum boat before and this is a BIG upgrade for me for sure. LOL
