    Z19, Z18 or used Z21?

    I like the price of the Z18, its really affordable, the Z19 is quite a bit more. I also found a 2016 Z21 for the price of a Z19. I am curious what you guys would do, go with the new Z18 or Z19 or go with a much bigger boat that has 80 hours. I am tossing around the idea. I need to check out some Z-boats at BPS and cabelas and check out exactly what I want but any opinions would be great.

    If you want a 21 foot boat. DO NOT SETTLE FOR A SMALLER BOAT THAT YOU CAN AFFORD NOW, either save longer or buy the used bot that you want. If you want a 18-19' boat buy it but do not buy a hull you don't want and plan to trade in in a year or three

    IMO you're much better off buying a used Z21

    There is a nice platinum z21 nitro with blue accents for sale. Has lots of warranty remaining on the motor. :)

    Good advice assuming the boat/motor is solid. Given such high depreciation a 2-3 year old, lightly used bass boat can be a great bargain.
