I am looking at a boat, but have not found much on the maker. Does anyone have knowledge of a ZUMA Z210 bass boat.
thoughts and concerns?
Thanks BTF

I believe the hull was a Stratos 201 Pro. Give the transom a close look.

They weren't around very long so that would concern me. Don't remember if it was that one or zephyr or sprint but it had real bad quality control issues with their builds.

Zephyr was a champ knock off I thought. Maybe for 1 year?

I had a Z210 for a couple years around 2005-2006. If I remember correctly, they were made for a year or so in Sulphur Springs TX around 98'-99'. I loved the boat and never had any issues with the boat itself but the motor was another story. I sold the rig after I had it rebuilt the 2nd time. Just make sure and give it a good once over, I do know a guy that had to have his transom rebuilt in his 210.

Buddy had a Zuma and it was a fishing machine good in rough water too.

I had one for a few years it was a tank. Only down fall was the hp rating on Hull was to low. If I couldve put a 250 on the back I would still have it.

There was a guide that ran one out of Oak Ridge back around 2007-2011 I know him but can't remember his name.. He always had it filled with customers, I looked it over a couple times, like mentioned above, no bling, just a fishing machine pure and simple. Ken A, or Brant King, may remember his name, super nice guy, older gent blonde with a mustache. I'm sure he retired around 2011 or so. That was about the only Zuma I recall seeing, but I saw it a lot.

Gene didn't retire, and he and Bill Wilburn are both still running Zuma's. Gene said he was told the hull was a Stratos 201 Pro.
