37,995 USD for Boat, Trailer and 150 HP Fourstroke or Optimax Pro XS.
Only downside i've seen is the smaller livewell and 8' rod lockers.
looks like a nice rig though for multispecies... |

Location: Rhinelander, Wisconsin | Great boat, well built offering nice features. The cooler with a place for keeping things out of the ice is a great idea, the ZV21 has that too. I like the removable tackle bins in the rear storage, too. Get extras, and you are set for any type of fishing you wish to do.
The ZV21 has been getting good reviews over the last season and a half, so this one ought to do well. |

| Nitro is made by tracker but its the glass line. They had a couple bad years in the late 90s with delaminating glass and a couple really negative reviews on those boats but have fixed all that since.
Overall they are the best buy in glass fishing boats IMO. Very solid well made. Mine is a 95 and still in great shape. |

Location: Waukesha, WI, USA | Lots if nice options for an 18' boat. I would guess the 150hp is a bit under powering. Like all other boats in this class, I hate the built in minnow buckets. But that's just me. Nice looking windshield and cockpit area. Lack of side storage in back a small concern. |

| Side rear compartments like the ZV 21 would be huge.Surprised not on boat. Can a guy get an E-Tec on a Nitro? |

Location: WI | I've been waiting for this boat to come out. I was hoping it had some of the cool fisherman designed features the 21 has, which it does. Im glad to see they didn't raise the front bait well on the smaller front deck. Seems like a pretty decent layout for both casting and trolling. Only thing I am disappointed about is it only has an 8" rod locker.
Been looking at the Yarcraft 186 txf. My buddy has a 209 tfx. Really solid boats with great fit and finish. Can't wait to see the nitro to compare. Not real wild on the paint schemes of the Nitros. Cool looking for the pros but I guess I would rather a nice color scheme over huge letters and numbers.
Don't get me wrong. I like the nitro Zv21 and I'm sure the 18 will be a great boat for the price. But for a bit more the yarcraft might be my choice.

| At same width as the 21 foot Nitro, I wonder how it will perform/handle? Without seeing it in person, I think I would prefer the layout and lower sides of the Skeeter mx1825 over the Nitro ZV18. However, no concerns with the quality of a Nitro these days, I think they make a good boat. |

When I was looking at bass boats. bass pro would NOT put a E-tec on the boat I dont know about other dealers. |

| I think Tracker/Nitro are contractually bound to Mercury. I'm pretty sure you can't get even get one without a motor on it. |
