I have found that these boats are roughly the same price new. Other than Helix vs. Solix, Talons vs Power Poles, and Mercury vs Yamaha...….where is the money better spent for quality and 5 yr trade value? I've been in the Z21 numerous times with a buddy, however his is the first year Z21 so I haven't researched to see if any changes have been made.

I just got a 2021 ZXR20 and its not the Skeeter of old for sure. Rides totally different and it takes a bit of driver input to really stretch it out. Rough water ride is great. Really impressed by that. They are an absolute blast to drive. Overall ride is excellent and the normal Skeeter fishability. Well thought out layout and been very happy with the choice. I came out of a 2019 ZX250 and just prefer a 20' boat more. The ZXR20 is 20' 4" while the ZXR21 is 21' 4". You can add the second Power Pole for just a bit more if you want. If you time it right you can get 5 years on the Yamaha included at purchase.

I know Nitro has a Pro edition of their Z20 and Z21. Not sure what all that gets you but I do like the layout of the newer Z boats a lot. I would have no issue owning one. The guys I know with Nitros like them and several have bought Nitro again when it was time to get a new one. I am not sure how long you can get warranty on the Mercury included but would think it would be 3-5 years depending on current promotions.

Mark, were you on the lake yesterday in a white and black skeeter?

Not me. I have a silver/white/gunmetal boat.

Ohh I got you. It was from a distance but looked white and black. If you weren’t on the lake though it wasn’t you! Lol

I won that little competition by the way. Caught 13 with 4 keepers, two buddies caught 5 and 4 with no keepers.

Nahh...I hung out with my 10 month old grandson here at our house. We had bird feeders, deer feeders and squirrel feeders to fill up. He enjoys being outside and is my little shadow so I stayed home with him. We spent the day goofing around outside then went and visited family later in the day.

Nice.

That’s awesome!
