Used vs new boat and when you make that decision….

[Mcjenson]

I understand that and agree but then you are talking about the z20 series which I see good deals on but read that hull
is terrible … guess I could keep looking for an older 520 that’s maybe been repowered, or possibly the z520 series but then that’s a big jump in money also. I guess my whole point was when does motor year and age mean more than the hull like a newer nitro vs older ranger or basscat.

I wouldn't proclaim myself an expert, but I don't think the Z20 could be described as terrible. Certainly not the best riding boat, but pretty similar to ranger Z520's which I've rode in.

iv actually been in my neighbors z20 a couple times and thought it rode great …I mean it wasn’t rough or anything and we weren’t flying around the lake but it was def better than the 18’ iv been in most of my life … to be honest I’m not a fan of the rail latches on the z20 but I think it’s something I could get over

Still confused. You mean the lid latches?

yes it’s a diff system not just regular latches … it’s on a rail system and a little different … iv been in a z20 that you had to slam the lid and hold the latch a certain way

Nitro Z 20 doesn't use that system, you talking early to mid 2000 Ranger Z 20 with the rail latches?

He's is talking about the older Ranger Z20, not the newer Nitro Z20...
