    I had a 2016 Z18 with a 175 Pro XS before I got my Z21. Loved the boat. Fishes way bigger than the it actually is. It seems like there have been a lot of hull issue stories about used Z7's going around lately. Unless you find a Z7 with a 200 ProXS, and can verify the hull is straight, I'd go with a Z18.

    The running surface is "normal" on a z7 but on a z18 it is several curves that make the surface and strakes

    nitros website will show you this. Other than that and cosmetics there basically the same, if buy the newest one you can personally

    Between those two, I'd go with the Z18 - newer hull, newer boat, engine warranty etc.

    My two cents worth... get the Z-18. Brand new vs. a four year old boat that someone else had.
