You're exactly right. Most guys spend $80-90k on the boat name and then can't really afford to put all the tools on it to help them catch more fish. The boat doesn't help you catch more fish, it's all the extras you put on it. I don't fish big water so my Z-18 Pro with a 150 comes STD with an ULTREX and is more than enough. It allowed me to then put on 4 graphs, power poles, jack plate and a mega live which are absolutely critical down here ... KVD has been with Nitro his entire career since 1989 and it had nothing to do with them giving him a boat, same goes for EE ... not saying those other brands aren't good but their base price is out of control ...

I loved my Z18. It’s a great boat. Only reason I got a new Skeeter is because I wanted a 21, and I like the Skeeter storage better. It’s in the shop now, getting all of the electronics and gadgets mounted and working, installing a FFS turret, etc. If I had originally bought the z20 or 21, I doubt I’d have traded, because the 18 is a great boat, just not big enough to be comfortable with my wife, son and myself all fishing on it. Not that my son fishes with me much now. Since I gave him the Z18, he always wants to be out on that as his high school league starts. No time for dad anymore at 16! Not a ton anyway! Sorry, rambling because of nostalgia of him being a child and wanting to be nowhere else but on a fishing deck with me.

I loved the Nitro my brother used to have. Wasn’t the fastest, but it had everything set up perfectly and it rode so smooth. And it was no slouch by any means. It definitely was closer to the fastest boats than it was the slowest boats in the field.

@Steve13lb12oz 4 ай бұрын

Nice set up Mikey. Definitely got a few ideas for tweaking mine. Very envious of those big powerpoles. At the end You talked about the switch to get power to the cranking battery. Are you running a lithium or Agm for the cranking? I don’t think the powerpro charge had 6 outputs. How do you get juice to all of them?

@krisramos7453 4 ай бұрын

I bought a used 2021 z19 last November. Got everything legal and taken care of during the winter and I’m getting some trips on it now that the ice is out. Can’t complain about the nitro at all it’s fantastic. It’s well optioned (passenger console, lights, stereo, passenger drawer, etc). Came with an ultrex 112 and a helix 12 (console) and helix 8 (bow). I’m going to make the switch to lithium as soon as these batteries give me grief and I may add a 12 up front to keep up with the trends.

I almost bought a z21 this winter, but went with a new Skeeter instead. It just got delivered to the dealer monday, where they are now installing my electronics, power poles, three 100AH Lithium’s, and a few other upgrades I bought. Can’t wait to use it in April for our first tournament. I still love my Z18, but I just didn’t like the new models as much as I like the Skeeter. The z18 is sticking around, my Son is fishing in high school league, so im giving it to him to fish for that. It’s been a great boat though, if it was bigger (my fault, should have bought the 20or 21 instead. Tldr I love my Z18, but I think the new Skeeter is a better boat for me.

Hey, Mike - was there a reason you didn’t go with a Z21? I’m also thinking about using my 2nd rod locker for additional tackle. I see a lot of guys doing that the way you did.

@mikeybalzz 4 ай бұрын

In my opinion the z21 is just too much of a boat for me I fish alone a lot and and I prefer something a little bit more maneuverable and lighter. Plus the 250 on the 20 and I think on the it's definitely not going to be as quick

So I've had zero issues with the new touch screen and frankly I love it a lot more than the touchpad that was on my 2022 it's much more responsive I can use it with gloves on I have heard about them going out from time to time but it is so much easier to used in the version on my last year's boat

They are nice boats but the closed tubing steel trailers are junk if you plan to keep a boat for 5 years or longer. They rust out from the inside out. C channel steel trailers are way better !

Great touches MikeyBalzz 👌, the z20 is loaded w goodies.I was woundering about the co angler rod pocket,as i bring a gear bag,and 5 rods max for co angler gear, do you ever have a co angler? Or do you lend rods to your bros and broets to do some fishing. When you throw down in team clean up,or got swimsuit 🩱 Girl?

@mikeybalzz sweet MBRF! I did 1 event in a z19,and it worked out sweet, I only bring 4 rods for Okeechobee and a few 3700 sized boxes. It works out well. If you power fish, im ulocking the potential of the swimming worm,traps,punching,and the ole chatter donk! I mix it up with a few other things. If it's not working, I learned that versatility is key to getting those critical bites. Seen you do good at Stick Marsh, slowing down and working them stump rows! Way to go, homie! 💥🎣✌️
