2013 Legend 211
250 Pro Xs
There are a few alpha 211s that have had transom failure I know of. Last weekend my dealerships personal boat experienced failure. Said he co told him to stop and after they idled back to the ramp and trailered they could move the motor up and down by hand. Said is was about 1 1/2"-2" worth of play. All company's have these tho. There is no brand immune to this.

sure they do. half the time the dealer has to pay for that shit just so they don't look bad. nitro is absolute, bottom of the barrel, mass produced garbage. They are the harbor freight of boat brands. Does "EVERY" boat have problems? no, of course not. But the law of averages certainly isn't in your favor and i can say from first hand experience, they'll save their money by bending you over.
I have a 2009 Nitro Z7. Never been back to Tracker Marine or any Nitro dealership for a single warranty issue. I keep this boat on a large, stump-filled east Texas lake, so it has seen some pretty hellish duty over the past 9 or 10 years. Mine has been a good one. I had wanted to move to Legend for my next boat (I buy a new one every 10 years), but I'm hearing that's not happening. I see tons of Legends on this lake, nice boats.
This topic is like a meeting at work that has no value what so ever....
I just bought an old Legend and would only sell it or trade it for a newer legend. A friend just paid $10k for a 30 year old Champion... it all comes down to who wants it and how much they are willing to pay for it.
To let you know that I had a 2010 Z8 that had no problems at all. There were no stress cracks of any kind on it, no structural issues. More than likely there are plenty running on the lakes across this country with no problems same as the one I purchased it new and owned for 8 years it is a great boat and will be for many years to come. How about the other brands out there that you and I both know that have their problems also. A lot of people just like to bash Tracker Marine and Nitro boats.

Nitro gets a bad rep because at one time there where absolute sh#t, they make good boat now, I looked at new Tritons and Nitros at a dealer recently and the Nitro's looked way nicer actually.
Nitro may be a junkie boat to some people but winning extra money for running one is pretty nice. I've been paying the payments with the rewards money. Can't complain about that.
