What's the verdict on them so far now that they've been out for a little while? Any reason to stay away from either? Not looking to start a bashing contest, just wondering what folks, who actually have experience with them, think. Pros and cons?
TIA

i have a Z21 and have had Skeeters and Tritons the same size. The Z is not as fast by a few mph if your into the speed thing, but as far as fishing its the best ive had yet by a good ways. I have a 250 Yam hpdi, and from what ive heard its good to stay away from the etech for now.

Thanks CD. Is the 250 a luxury or must have over a 225. Jackplate? Any issues with chine walking like a Triton? Any options you wish you did or didn't have? Hate to pry, I just may get serious in the next 6 months or so.

The z-21 is the cadillac of the boat industry.The fishability is the best on the market,dry,safe,and more stabile than the other brands.Now resale, no other boat Co. matchs the resale value of them.Go with the 10in. hdry. jackplate,and something to consider is the POWERPOLE,they make it in 6'and 8' it,s just NICE

Hate to pry, I just may get serious in the next 6 months or so. I would say the 250 is a must have on the Z21, i have a 10" jackplate and the boat is completley loaded. No chine walking and i must say the boat has plenty of lift, just not quite as fast as the triton but much more stable.
