New z19

[bynumsx19]

Hey guys looking for some insight .. I'm fixing to trade in my xpress x19 and get either a z19 or z20 but what kinda speeds are y'all seeing with a pretty heavy load on either boat . Tryin to decide if I want to go ahead and spend the extra money and get the z20 or just roll with the z19 . Will be getting the pro package in either boat and adding a 2nd power pole

We got a new Z19 and really like it but if doing it over I would get a Z21 because of it being more stable for an old dude like me to stand on and fish. As for speed all 3 of the boats you mention will run in the 67 to 70 mph range loaded down. If you are going to pick a Nitro for speed then the Z21 with a 300 hp motor is what you want. Be prepared to buy lots of gasoline if you go with the 300. You can do a search and find top speed on any of these boats with all different kinds of loads such as poles, number of batteries, people and consoles.

Appreciate the help bud but don't think the z21 is going to fit in my garage .. I've always had 19 ft boats so the z19 would fit me perfect was just trying to decide if the 10k more for a z20 with 250 would be worth it

Z20 will be a better experience.

I have to 2nd that.... If you can swing the extra cash, go for the 20 with a 250hp.....

If it fits the bill and the garage get the 20, you won't be disappointed over the 19

You would like the 19. Mine has plenty of storage and handles great. Very stable handles great in shallow water. I can't complain about any thing as performance of my 19. That's my opinion. I didn't see the almost 10k difference in the price for the 20.

What kind of speeds do you see with a heavy load I always have a tournament load on my boat because of all the stuff I have

[Jigman78]

50 gallons of fuel, my tackle and livewell full and my partner on a straight away 67 68 mph.
Half tank and just me 70 mph flat out. Have not adjust motor any up or down yet.
