Hello Nitro owners! I'm looking to buy a new boat and found a new 2011 Z8 with 225 Mercury that really caught my eye. I currently don't have a boat but have previously owned Rangers. I loved my Ranger, but lets face it, the prices are outrageous. My last Ranger was a 518vx with 200 Mercury. I was just wanting to know how the Z8 would compare to the Ranger and what are the pros and cons of the Nitro. I have heard some "not so good things" about Nitro in the past but in my opinion all of the newer bass boats are quality boats. Please help me now because I'm looking to purchase soon and its a huge purchase to not get what you want. Thanks everyone
