I'm sure nitro makes a fine boat. Too many out there for them to be as bad as a lot of people say. I've owned triton, stratos, aluminum and now a 98 bullet 20xd with a 2017 pro xs. I never had any interest in a bullet until my buddy bought one a few years ago. I've been all through his and mine and I personally feel like there isn't a better built boat on the water. Bullet's attention to detail and craftsmanship, fish ability, resale value, and of course speed are 2nd to none. My boat is a 98 and I haven't entertained a new/newer boat purchase since buying it.
