I owned a Nitro a couple of decades ago and it was a pretty decent boat for its day. I bought it new and fished out of it for 5 years and had zero issues. It was kept indoors and to my standards so when it was sold it was better than new.
At one point during the great boat search to get this Skeeter I have now I was seriously considering another brand new Nitro. I follow the FB pages of almost every major player in the bass boat world and what came out about Nitro on their own FB pages wasn't good. The biggest issue was the trailers, mainly breaking in half at the rear cross member right behind the keel roller, I saw quite a few of those. The bunks on the trailers weren't lasting very long either and were needing replaced in less than 5 years; I don't know what kind of storage situation these rigs had so that could have been attributed to being left outside but also obviously they were made from untreated wood or they would have lasted longer. Also various cracks in and around the winch post area as well. The trailer problems could mostly be corrected if they'd get away from the tubular steel design and go to the channel iron like everybody else uses.
I've seen hull delamination in almost every major brand on social media but Nitro seemed to lead the pack in that area by far.
I love the layout; the comfort, and the ride of these boats. I took a test ride in a Z20 last year. If they'd get their act together I'd own one.

This forum does this about every two weeks. TFF Posts: Everyone knows BCB are garbage, Rangers are slow and have gone downhill since White River bought them, Skeeters porpoise and their trailers are garbage, Nitros are cheap...

BCB Owners: BCB are the best boat EVER. There's no better fit and finish.... Ken Smith says so...(whoever the f he is)

Ranger Owners: The best resale value in the game, awesome boat.

Skeeter Owners: Texas made, great boats.

What did I miss? Can we rewind this and do it mid-February again?
