I have read every entry of this thread and have come up with some conclusions.
#1. This sounds a lot like the Tebow arguements on ESPN and everwhere else. Is Nitro the Tim Tebow of the bass boating world? It seems it's either love or hate,feast or famine, and not much in the middle.
#2. Wherever we stand, or no matter where our loyalties lie; we owe a lot of credit to Ranger and Skeeter for historically bringing the modern bass boat design to where it is today.

I'm new to this forum and hope it's okay to say what I just said.
BTW, my next boat could very well be a Nitro because of the value. I'm not terribly concerned with resale 'cause it will probably be the last boat I buy, anyway.

I've owned a Skeeter in the past along with some other bass boats but I've had three Stratos since. I can't comment on the Nitro since I've never fished out of one. But just looking at the customer satisfaction polls over the years, Bass Cat is always number one followed by Ranger and Stratos. So if I could afford one it would be a Bass Cat, just my two cents.

Again I must ask why so eager to stop the thread? If you have gotten all you want out of then then move on and by all means quit reading it. I promise if you get involved in a topic that bores me I will not plead to the moderators to silence you. I will just exercise my right to not involve myself.

tcm68 makes a good case. WHY LOCK AN ONGOING THREAD? It will only go down hill if others allow it to with incomplete info.

Because at some point it's doing more harm then good.

Gary,
I am a current Nitro owner, dealing with poor customer service and have just been denied warranty repair on my 2010 Nitro hull. You asked to hear from someone about a first person experience, i will tell you that mine has been terrible and I won't own another Nitro. If you would like one to cut in half as a display model, maybe you could get the factory to buy mine back for you to display. I assure you that a 3 year old hull will show a lot more of what Nitro quality is really all about. Sorry to bash, but your sales pitches are making me sick as I am dealing with the issues that so many other people have heard about second hand. If you would like details on my issues, I will be on Rayburn this weekend, and encourage you to come by and see first hand the quality of the boats you sell.

where the hell did you get I was a Skeeter owner..I have not owned a Skeeter or Ranger..
Gary, I didn't just post for my spin..I read the whole thread (WHY NOT TO BUY A NITRO BOAT) and I don't remember anyone else there bashing other boats,some had problems but the boat company took care of their problem... so what was I supposed to do,make stuff up, as seems to be your style..the point was the boat was not covered by the factory when a Fiberglass repair company said they SAW NO DAMAGE to the hull..

Lani Ordone, Houston, Tx. I would like to talk to you about your boat and see if I can help with the issues that your having. I will pm you my cell phone # if you would like to talk tonight. I would like the hull # of the boat and a history of your experience . If inclined you can post them and I'll see if I can help or we can talk on the phone.

This is a good reason why the post should stand and not be taken down/locked.

This may allow an opportunity to help a Nitro owner in need of help and demonstrate that my "SALES PITCHES" are not hollow.

kingd, you saying that I make stuff up is a simple manifistation of your imagination.

Kingdad really that's all you can find to pick apart my post? The fact that I guessed the wrong brand of boat you own is irrelevant to point that was contrasting your bias vs Gary's.

Lani, I feel for you if your having a legitimate problem. I suggest you do call Gary as he as offered. You can settle this whole thread by letting us know if Gary is a genuine as he claims. Sounds like a genuine offer to help if you ask me, which is more then any of the rest of us have done to contribute to this conversation.

Here is an update. I have spoken with Lani, and he has provided some hitory regarding his boat and has provided me the hull number and the engine number so that I can move forward in my attempt to help him. I look forward to this opportunity. In my conversation with him a common point came up, that being the individual service department is key to the overall customer experiance and preception of the boat and as I listened to his story I felt for him.

Lani, I'll call you in the AM as promised and thanks for the opportunity.

Gary does nitro do the cut outs like the skeeters and ranger? im in the middle also ... as you see i decided to buy a used boat and take a chance...but in the next couple of years i will be buying a new one...i have always liked the skeeter and ranger boats..but i was at bass pro the other day and crawled through around and in a z8 .... as far as i could tell they are first class.. but i would like to see the cut outs like they do on the rangers and skeeter.
thanks

Used boats are many times the best way to go! That looks like a Dyna Trak in your sig is that the boat?

not really trying to "pick apart", or even much care about your post..But when you post a lie I will call you out on it..

Can all of you agree to disagree!!!!! Crazy that this thread is going on 12 pages soon is unreal!!! Yes Skeeter and Ranger are the number 1 and 2 in the industry, but as a sales man of Bass Boats in these hard economic times if someone can't afford a 50K plus boat then Nitro will catch you just as many fish as the Skeeter and Ranger will!!!! Being on the lake is key and hopefully this thread will come to an end very shortly!!!!!

Keep us posted
