    New motor

    My boat came in yesterday, got to look at the new motor and it is odd looking in my opinion. I'm sure my opinion will change once I run it.

    Boat came faster then expected, ordered on June 22or 23 and it arrived yesterday. Wow, don't even have my electronics yet. So I am gonna be 3-4 weeks from being able to get #s on my z21.

    Wow, that’s incredible delivery speed! I ordered my Z19 on July 9 and the salesman said it would take 8 to 10 weeks for it to be finished. After you placed your order, did you receive an email confirmation or updates from Nitro? I have a not heard a single word from nitro or the dealership about my boat order.

    No I do not get any updates, but then again I wasn't asking either. That was the fastest I have ever received a boat.

    Congratulations on your new boat. I hope that new motor absolutely blows your mind with great performance. But Bro I am with you on the looks of that thing. Why does it have to look like that for goodness sake? I am all for new looks but it didn’t have to look like an Evinrude or worse. Why not Honda or Yamaha or Suzuki or just a big ass Mercury?

    They are but ugly. They do look a little better with matching colored graphics but the shape is hideous. It doesn't match anything on a boat

    I think the swoopy back side of the motor makes it look out of proportion size wise to the boat. May just take some getting used to.

    Bryan, when you get a chance... Take a measurement from the top of the transom to the top of the cowling on the motor. Or if it is easier just from the ground, pavement, garage, that will work...
    I wonder if it the motor is the same height as the 2-Stroke ProXS when mounted on the boat....
