Second is the service dept at Bass Pro they suck! You can find a pretty good used Z8 for sale on BBC with very low hours for a lot less money than buying new. Good luck with the boat hope you find one. | | Re: About to purchase a new Nitro Z8...Give me all the good and bad things?

You'll be lucky to get any kind of performance out of it.. Top end w/ light load will be around 62-64. The Z-7 with 150 will push same if not more.. Id highly consider upgrading to a 225 or 250.. Yes it costs more but IMO im not gonna spend money on a boat that wouldnt perform to its potential.

Its been a great boat. Ignore all the Nitro hate, they have come a loooooong way from when they sucked. When I've had toys installed (structure scan, LEDs, Power Poles) I've had guys doing the work comment on how much better they are put together then they expected. I knew when I bought it I wasn't concerned about resale. At the time they offered exactly what I wanted (150 4 stroke) and the price was great. I wouldn't hesitate to buy another one. I wouldn't hesitate to tell my buddy to buy one. Its your cash, buy what you want. If Nitro is what you want, get it. | | Re: About to purchase a new Nitro Z8...Give me all the good and bad things?

Except mine's a 2010. Bought if off the BBC from a guy14 hours away from me. I know the power guys will say it's not enough motor but it'll run around 60 with two guys and six billion pounds of tackle (as I have mine set up) OR it'll run in the high 60's empty or light. The boat handles and fishes like a dream. The Pro XS motor is as good as they get. I'd like a little better mileage, but it is what it is. The storage, design, layout and everything else is just awesome. If you have particular questions, feel free to pm me. But, to answer your question.........unless you need to run over 60 mph, you will NOT be unhappy with that boat. YES, you'll be happier with all the boats that everyone else will mention, you'll just spend $5 - $20 K more for them. And, there's nothing wrong with that. But what you can afford. Mine jumps out of the hole and just flat runs...........but it doesn't fly. But, who cares? Go fish, enjoy. | | Re: About to purchase a new Nitro Z8...Give me all the good and bad things?

Don't listen to all of the naysayers. The 200 will save you dollars on fuel and will do fine. I get tired of boat snobs.
I would make sure it had plenty of troll motor on it before I would worry about the engine size. That boat will do about 60mph with a 200 and that is plenty.

I had my reservations about the 200 as well, but it does a good job on that hull. I think that if you are considering the 250 then you might want to drive one equipped with one so that you can make your own decision. I don't know your financial situation but the 250 costs a lot more. Those dollars could be spent on items far more beneficial to the actual fishing like better electronics or shallow water anchors. If I were buying a new one I would pick that one simply because of the cost savings. The other brands have gotten absolutely stupid with their pricing.

Yeah it'll run 60 loaded to fish full of gas with 2 people but it will be on the floor and struggling to do so. I don't like running my boat wide open with 2 people and livewells full because you can tell it's straining to do 70-71. Plus resell value is a consideration period. I wouldn't look at a boat for sale that wasn't maxed out on power. Not just top end speed, a heavy boat with a little motor will plane out slower when loaded and straight up struggle when loaded and it's hot out. Just my two cents, get the 225 minimum but I'd go with the 250

The jell coat on one side cracked and they finaly fixed it and it did it again and tracker gave him [censored]. He had it for year and spent 9 months in the shop. I wanted to buy one but after that experience I said no. But like another post said, they maybe put together better these days.

Mercury's are Mercury's, they will do fine. But Nitro still has fit and finish challenges in my opinion and their service is not up to par with other major brands like Phoenix, Ranger, Bass Cat, etc.. The layout and deck will be good, they have a huge beam. Will they be the cheapest for that size/motor? Probably, but this is the classic you get what you pay for scenario. There is just no way I would own one, I would pay more money for one of the other brands. Just my .02 | | Re: About to purchase a new Nitro Z8...Give me all the good and bad things?

I have a 2006, 929 and I think it is the heat, going to upgrade next year to a loaded Z9. There are always going to be haters of Nitros and every other boat model for some reason or the other. I know guys who have Z8s and they swear by them; put a 250 on it and it is a beast. Think about this, are you buying it for resale or because it fits your needs and you just like it. Like someone else said, as far as resale.... yes you get less but you also pay less up front. Buy what you can afford without it costing more than the monthly payment on your house or having to cut cost on other things; make sure you can afford to fish the way you want to. As for Bass Pro, yes they suck, so I started taking mine to Larry�s Marine in Wichita Falls for warranty work and haven�t had a complaint since. Yes it is worth the drive for the turnaround time. Keep in mind that every day the same argument is held between owners of pickups, and there are still plenty of Fords, Chevy�s and Dodges on the highway every day. Bottom line is this; it�s the fisherman, not the boat that catches fish; the boat is just a tool to assist them. How many times have you seen the guy with the least expensive boat catch the most fish and win the tournament? Good luck on your purchase.
By the way, I hope every noticed how I gave the good and the bad and never bashed another boat brand or model.

This for sure.......not everybody needs a "rigged to the hilt" bass rig to enjoy fishing. A minimally rigged boat will suit most people and this is where a basic model Nitro shines.

I have seen these boats at BPS and the price is great until you add the features like a 9" or 11" graph and a tour edition trolling motor. The boat rides well and has god storage and decks, but for me the quality is still not that of other boats. If you comare the cost of a loaded nitro it can get just as high as a better quality brand. my opinion. I run a Basscat because they are tougha as nails and if I need work done they are quick to jump on it. Everything in a Nitro is the same as far as the pumps and gauges and the motor is the same Mercury as on any other boat. However if you have a transom issue or top cap seperation Other companies are better known for their repair policies. Lastly I have never had a hull problem with a Cat and I have run them for 15 years. | | Re: About to purchase a new Nitro Z8...Give me all the good and bad things?

I would definitely recommend getting more horsepower if you can. Huge front deck, enough storage to pack in a small tackle store, great access to the bilge area and optional live well cooling system that is absolutely amazing. As far as performance goes, The Z series takes rough water as good as any boat out there. If you're looking for a part time racing boat you're going to be disappointed. The one thing I love about the Nitro Z is it drafts incredibly shallow. I can fish in extremely shallow water and leave other boats far behind. Good luck with your decision.

Be patient and find a nice clean, garage kept boat that is 3-4 yrs old.
2) are you a tournament fisherman or a casual fisherman? If you're just going out on the lake to enjoy your day and not going to get caught up in the madness of tournament fishing, then a smaller motor set up right will be fine.
3) does warranty matter to you? Of course we all want warranty, but is it worth paying the extra 10-15k to get a new one with a warranty? One option is to buy a 3-4 yr old rig and purchase an extended warranty on the motor for around $3k.
4) find someone with this same setup and take a ride with them. Even if you have to drive 4-5 hrs to do it, it'll be time and money well spent. | | Re: About to purchase a new Nitro Z8...Give me all the good and bad things?

After running in some really bad water at Guntersville and Palestine I can honestly say that the Nitro handles and rides better. I am always loaded to the hilt and with the Bravo 1 prop it hops right up on plane and is gone quick. I like the big front fishing platform. You won't be disappointed with Nitro. I was really surprised just how well built and well thought out this boat is. Lots of storage. I don't have any complaints about mine.

I have been running Nitro's since 2001, Nitro 911 CDC, and in 2009 bought a Z-9 fully loaded with 9 hrs on the motor. I saved over $20K buying this boat over the same equipted boat by the other brands listed. That's a bunch of cash saved. I have been fishing competatively for 35 years and have owned or fished out of almost all brands of boats and I would rate my Z-9 just as good and sometimes better than some of the other boats. Yes, a Nitro does have a lower resale but if you by a Nitro Z-8 (new) @ $42K, keep it 5 years and sell it for $25-$30K it would be the same or better than spending $65K+ for a Ranger or Skeeter (new) and then only able to get $30-$35K five years later. Simple math. Look at the boat sales and it is plain as day.
The key factor in buying a boat is to buy what YOU want and what would make you happy.
Good luck!

I think that you can read through the post and pick out the good and bad points and discard the fluff. I think that it's a little funny that the topic has now gone to what you should buy vs the topic, but that's for another day. A boat is a boat. I like my Skeeter. I've fished out of Champions, Rangers, Bass Cat, etc. They all have their positives and negatives. I can say that the boat that I've caught the most fish out of is an old Montgomery Ward Sea King with a 15hp Evinrude, that I still have. It's not about the boat, it's about what you will use it for, what makes you happy, and how you wish to spend your money. | | Re: About to purchase a new Nitro Z8...Give me all the good and bad things?

It's not the tools that makes the work good, but how the tradesman uses them. | | Re: About to purchase a new Nitro Z8...Give me all the good and bad things?

It doesn't go "fast" compared to the new boats, but to me 65 is fast on the water. I don't fish tournaments any longer so I'm not that worried about somebody beating me to my spot, or getting an extra five minutes of fishing time. Even if I did fish tournaments that is not how I make a living so in the end it just really doesn't matter to me. If I was a professional, or trying to be, I might think differently. So I'll let this post alone so that it can get back on topic since I haven't added anything to the original question. | Moderated by banker-always fishing, chickenman, Derek 🐝, Duck_Hunter, Fish Killer, J-2, Jacob, Jons3825, NoconaBrian, Rockie Martin, Toontroller, Uncle Zeek, Weekender
