I am curious about a Z18 with 175 and the performance you may get ie. speed, hole shot, and fuel? I currently have a 2013 ZX200 and thought about selling and moving towards this boat. My ideal set up would be Z18 with 175 12" TI Graphs, one power pole, and dual trailer. Any feed back would be appreciated.

I just wstched a video with that set up.
Triton 19 XS Elite, 225 Mercury Pro XS, Minn Kota Ultrex 112, Hydrowave H2, Twin 8' Power Pole Blades, Power Pole CHARGE, Lowrance HDS 12 and 16 at console, Lowrance HDS 9, Garmin LiveScope at bow, Mercmonitor, Rigid Industries Deck lights and other stuff to come that will make me go more broke
Appreciate the video and good information.Originally Posted by Tim W
I have a 2016 Z18 with a 175. No jack plate but will still run @62mph GPS. Plenty of power loaded. I do plan on installing a jack plate this winter to squeeze a few more MPH out of it.
Good numbers. That was what I was curious about was speed. I did not want to get back in a boat that did not run 60+ with tournament load.

My Z18 ran 61.4 yesterday morning with 3 big guys ( 220-240 lbs each), 2/3 tank of fuel, and huge load of tackle.
'17 Nitro Z21, 250ProXS serial # 2B399616, 24p Fury4, 12" Atlas, Apex 16 @ console, Apex 16 & Apex 13 @ bow, Mega 360, Ultrex, 8ft blades
Thanks. Def dont want less then a 175 on the boat if I switch brands.
Anyone notice the price in AU dollars, $65K - 76K????
Been fishin' since I was 5 years old...Thanks Grandpa!
Australian? From what I can tell those guys always take a beating on importing bass boats from the US.

No kidding...the AU dollar isn't strong but damn it almost doubled the cost of the rig.
