Thinking about trading in my 3 year old nitro z7
Have had zero issues with it and actually have equity in it for trade in...
But looking at the z21 or for 2 grand more the z20 loaded package....
Trying to compare and looking for you guys input...
The z20 high performance package comes with the following

2 Lowrance® HDS-9 Gen3 Touch fishfinders w/StructureScan® flush-mounted at bow & console
Minn Kota® Fortrex® 36V, 112-lb. thrust foot-control trolling motor
Power-Pole® 8’ Blade Edition shallow water anchor
HydroWave™ electronic fish attractor
4-bank (40 amps total) battery charger
Factory-applied KeelGuard®
Hot Foot™ throttle & Pro-Trim lever
1 automatic bilge pump
Remote oil fill
Extra battery (SRM29)

The z21 non high performance package comes with


Improved hull design w/Rapid Planing System™ for an exceptional ride & handling
Huge, 45 sq. ft. (3 sq. m) front deck w/new storage layout for maximum fishability
Bow navigation lights in gunnels to allow optional flush-mount 12” fishfinder at bow
Better-insulated cooler under bow deck step w/dry storage sandwich tray
Minn Kota® Maxxum® 24V, 80-lb. thrust, 42" (1.1 m) ) shaft, foot-control trolling motor
Port rod organizer for 10 rods w/room for more below
Drainage channels in bow deck to keep compartments dry
Console w/multifunction gauges, backlit control pad, & room for optional 12" (30.5 m) fishfinder
Wider, tournament-style suspension seats w/removable 3rd seat & net holder behind seats
Tandem-axle trailer w/fiberglass fenders & improved, submersible, angled backup LED lights


I'm really wondering if I should pay 2 grand less and get the Z21 and then add the graphs, pole, later don't cRe about hotfoot or hydro wave..
What say y'all? Go with bigger boat stock no fancy extras and add exactly what I want or get the z20 loaded down?

Pay the extra 2 grand. It will cost you more to add it on later.

You got a 150 or 175 on your z7?

I would never get a 250 motor without a hotfoot. For nothing but safety alone.


Two things in life you can never have to much of. Money or Fun!

My Z7 has the 150 4 stroke and I love it... Can fish for days without refueling...
Cranks first time every time since I bought it and oil change is easier than on a car...lol

That 24 volt trolling motor is not near enough for the Z21! As said above the 200 hp motor isn't near enough for either of those two boats.
