Friogatto,
Thanks for the response, awesome info. I don't see myself doing any legit offshore stuff. I'd like to have a boat that can handle rough water if needed but I see myself Bass fishing...
I appreciate all of the info. The only reason I am looking at Scout is bc they're built 20 miles up the road from Charleston, SC in Summerville. I'm looking at the 231XS...
Awesome, I appreciate it. Buddies keep telling me, I'm gonna regret it come Bass tournament time but I'm thinking a 19-21' boat would be just fine. My main concern is the brackish water and...
I've got a 2017 Nitro Z18 and there's a chance (knock on wood) that I could be station in Charleston, SC by 2020. I'm in Altus, OK right now in the Air Force and a return to Charleston, COULD be in...
How great would it be if I single handedly uncovered this issue? Not trying to sound like an ass, I'm saying that call to Nitro I made just over a month ago, where Sandy uncovered that I had the...
Finally got the 22P Tempest from the dealer that I've been waiting for. Of course the tournament I'm fishing this Saturday is on a no wake lake. I'm gonna try to take it out Sunday but we've got...
The Fury was way too much. I have a hydraulic Atlas Jackplate on my boat and messed around w/ it a lot. I've found having it between 4-5" on the Hyd JP gets me the best holeshot, depending on the...
If they give you any problems, just call Nitro direct and ask for Sandy. She's the one that told me that the Fury was the wrong prop. She said all the early 2017 Z18's that were built in 16 had the...
Here are my findings from one tournament day w/ the 21P Tempest Plus:
Windy day 12-20 mph (about normal for Oklahoma)
50-63 degrees from 1130-1930 local time
Boat planed out in about 2-3...
I haven't received it yet bc it's on backorder until mid apr. The dealer is gonna grab a 21p prop off a floor model and let me try that while I wait for the 22p. The guy told me the 21p would get me...
I am not concerned at all with losing some mph. I've got my boat to 63 mph before and have no need for it. She handled fine, I just have no real need to be north of 50-55 mph, which is where I...
I bought some plugs bc my prop did not come w/ any or I wasn't given any. It was on the boat already and no plugs on it. I installed the mid size plug in one hole and it was a good 2 seconds worse...
14 + 5/8 22p tempest is what comes on a 2018 4stroke 150 at this moment. That's what Nitro wants the Dealer to get from them on a warranty swap but the dealer hasn't set that in motion and told me,...
Don't remember if he said Z8 or Z7 but either way, Nitro saying I shouldn't have this prop makes me 50% happy and 50% furious.
Huge advancements made today. First of all, thanks for the help everyone: I called the dealer today and told them everything I've read says a 3 Blade fury is for "outboards 200 HP and over" and not...
That's exactly what I thought and exactly why I wanted to get it. My daughters love being on the boat but wife and 2 daughters is tough w/ only 2 real seats. I'll give them a call back, thanks!
Sorry, I re-read that and should have been more clear. Motor is always trimmed all the way down but I haven't tried what TX said and had the jackplate AND motor trimmed all the way down. I have the...
How many plugs? I put one in and it was significantly worse. I'll be honest, I've never put the jackplate all the way down and trimmed all the way down bc everything I've read says the opposite. I'll...
I have the best hole-shot at about 4.5" on the backplate. I've tried 5-6 and it worse and I've tried 2-4 and it's even slower. I've tried the plugs and I think I still have some laying around. My...
Yes, I have a hydraulic jackplate and it usually runs best at 4-4.5". That's where I have it while having these problems.
No idea what is wrong w/ her. 1/2 tank of gas, full live well, 200 pound boater and 190 pound Co-Angler. 150 4stroke and before you say, "there's your problem" my buddy has a four stroke on his Z6...
Does anyone know if you can get the center seat mod after delivery? I've got a 2017 Z18 and would love to get the center seat clip on/hook on mod seat that I saw on the 19 and 20's at BPS last...
Boat is 1700 empty w nothing in it. 40 gal tank, 2 bodies and a literal crap-ton of tackle puts on a lot of weight. I asked on the tracker/nitro page and they said "all 2017 Z18's have the Fury and...
Everything I have found online shows the Fury as standard on a 2017 Z18 w/ my motor and plate. Do you think it's more of a Backplate positioning issue or a prop issue?
