Liebers dad.. yes I would like the extra 50 hp and the xtra 2 feet. This will most likely be my last boat. my wife and I
have a place down at lake fork. Can get rough at some times. Would like to have a good rough water riding boat for
Those windy days. The Z21 has a wider platform then my boat and a extra few inches in length as well. Like i said.
like the platform and layout of the boat. I just wish I could personally see how it rides and handles in rough water. Hard
to spend that amount of money without taking a test ride in one. I remember back in the day they would have a few
boat dealer show up at lake fork and they would take you out for a test drive. I drove my champion and a legend V21
at fork in the same dav. I was torn between the two. But once I aot out on the water in the two boats…. I new champion
was the boat for me. The champion bought was a demo with 40 hours on it. has been an awesome boat.

Hey Champ, you might want to catch up with Brian Duplechain at Lake Fork. He guides there and has driven Nitro's for a long time. Not sure what he's driving but if he is still in a Nitro I bet he'd take you for a brief spin in one. Good guy and good guide as well.

Thanks for the info fivebites! I will definitely give him a call.

By all means, spend the extra then. This'll be my last one too, but I just couldn't justify the extra cash for a 20 or 21. I hope you love it!

OMG every fishing trip I'd see 60K in the mirror, I don't think I could fish thinking about 60K spent. Don't get me wrong, I bought a new boat last year, first year of retirement at 60 spent 20K cash for 2021 G3 Bay 17 and fished 55 times since...definitely my last boat. I'm too cheap at 60. Good luck with the purchase.

I get nothing but compliments on my ride, course maybe no one is complaining to me either. Have heard "Your boat rides alot better than I thought it would".

I feel confident I can get where I need to go without beating myself up.

But in all honesty I do not think you'll get a better riding boat than the champ. I think you can get close with most of em, So it just depends on what u want to spend.

If your near Rayburn, Let me know I have a 21 Nitro Z21.

I was a State Team guy for Nitro a few years back. If you want a test drive all you have to do is go and speak to the Folks at BPS and have them set you up with one of their team guys that has the model that you want to ride in. They're usually more than happy to take potential customers for a ride. At least that was the way it used to work- it was in the deal that I got w BPS when I got my team ride-hope you find what you are looking for. BTW-I had a 2006 Champion 210-great boat also.

The Z21 rides better than a 521 Ranger- the Z21 rides remarkably well IMO. How many fully loaded, 3 graphs, dual poles, 60 gallons of fuel, 450lbs of two men will run 70? The Charger is not near as nice as a Z21 from what I have seen.

Why do you want the Bobs? I have the standard slide master, never adjusted it, runs 72 empty, 70 fully loaded fuel, tackle and 2 men

On the site I built a z21proxl. Added a bob’s and a console and it’s 68k

Thanks guys. Appreciate all the information.

Didn’t say the Nitro ride bad although my comment about the air ride seat might have insinuated it. It’s a nice ride for sure. I just went in a different direction that’s all. Stumbled on a deal for a late model Phoenix that was too good to pass up.

I test rode a Z20 last year at a Bassmaster event and loved it and honestly would love to have one. Before you decide though do some research on the trailers and the hulls. What I found is the reason I don't own one.
