    2020 Nitros wants list

    What would y'all like to see on the 2020s, We should see them sometime in mid too late June this year.

    1. I would like to see trailer improvements like better carpet on the bunk boards on all boats. Or at least an option for it.
    2. Like to see an option for better quality carpet on the z20/19/18.
    3. A couple of new gel coat colors.
    4. I really like the elite consoles, be nice to see those standard on all boats.

    Just a few things I'd like to see on 2020 models.

    I agree, this is the only thing I wish was different. I know for me that when my trailer is shot, I will replace it with an aluminum trailer.

    Added or "bigger" storage for between the seats. I need more space than what is on my 2019 Z20.
    Better Carpet or option for it (can't be much more in price).
    All metal lid latches or option for it (maybe a couple hundred more).
    Storage bin lights that are controlled with a main switch (make standard) instead of the push button type (I accidently push mine on and don't realize it during the day).
    A better, stronger trailer is always a good thing.
    Better quality rod straps or option for it.
    A redesign or modification is needed for the non-boater rod storage. On the Z20 the butt holder needs to move more to the left, and the seat needs to move more to the right to allow "all" the rods to lay straight and not stick out past the edge of the rail or fight with the edge of the seat. The Z19, I think is the same..

    Those are about the same things I would add to a wish list.

    I am not a fan of the center seat storage, but then again I always owned a dual console. One of the reasons the elite consoles would be nice is additional storage.

    I would love to see a bass boat with an alternative to carpet. A seadek type product or similar.

    I know there are a few that want this, but it never sells. I also feel like i could consider it if it looked nice.

    1. return to the touch pad controls on the 16-18 models. The new ones are too touch sensitive.
    2. Allow an option on the Z20s to have the 3 middle compartment setup
    3. Center storage needs to be bigger, and waterproof
    4. switched light on side of console, always turning it on by mistake

    Yup - definitely all the above and yes, the Z19 has the same non-boater rod storage issue and in my opinion it's a design flaw. In order to store rods in the holes closest to the center of the boat and still have them lay at an angle to the left of the non-boater seat, you'd have to break the rods.
    The push button lights are nice, but I agree that they turn on way too easy and it's hard to notice that they're on during the day.
    Would love to have the flat, gunnel retractable rod straps as an option.
    For me, the placement of the ignition could be moved to a place that the wind doesn't hit. When running down the lake, the float on my key chain bounces around everywhere and has already caused the key chain to come apart and my keys went bouncing around everywhere (anyone have ideas/suggestions to fix this).

    I kinda like to see a Key FOB idea, and push button start. Course I don't want it enough to pay more for it.

    I hate carpet. I would love the ease of cleaning and drying....
