I was in a BP a few months ago and was looking at the Z21 on the showroom. I'm not looking to buy for I like my skeeter...I was just checking things out. I will say it was nice looking etc and their fit and finish has come a long way compared to early days. As I was leaning over in the boat I put my knee into the hull and could actually "flex" it. I heard fiberglass crunching noise on the inside. No thanks...they are cheaper for a reason!! Like most things in life you get what you pay for. Not bashing anyone's choice but not for me. Pounding on the water and trailering the boat alone probably cause premature damage. I would buy a used upper end boat before buying a new Nitro at same money without question
