    Thumbs Up Nitro Z20 water test the other night.......

    Hi guys,

    I'm the new guy at Pro's Choice Marine, and thought you guys would enjoy a few pictures and video of an awesome Z20 powered by a 250hp Mercury Pro-XS. The other night Blake needed to water test a boat for a customer that was coming to pick it up and invited me along. For those that don't know me from the Ranger board, I almost always have a camera and GoPro close by. So I grabbed them and a life jacket, and headed for the boat ramp.

    Here's a few shots and a video of a new 2017 Nitro Z20 in action on the water.......

    Very cool.... That is what we need on this forum...

    Pete, It would be very cool in the future to see some videos on set-ups and performance on the water..

    Awesome stuff.

    Great video, but I think it just made me more anxious! My Z20 is currently in production and moved to the rigging stage yesterday. It's like time is standing still for me. On a positive note...I won't have to deal with any frozen water issues when she arrives. Into the drink she'll immediately go.

    Tournament loaded around 72, lightly loaded some guys will hit 75 spinning a 25p Fury.

    Thank you for the reply! So what's the difference between a Z20 and aZ21 as far as ride and speed? Thanks

    Got some help from Blake to answer your question as he knows way more about those hulls than I do, I am new to Nitro. Here is what he said: "It's a touchy deal but the Z20 can run 75 but they are all different and you won't see a Z21 run more than 72-3. The 21 rides really really good so it's hard to compare anything to it!"

    Thank you! Those new GoPro Hero 5's are amazing. I bought one right after they came out, after the first time I used it I went back and got a second one. Then went back and got the Hero 5 Session. Call me a GoPro junkie. LOL
