As a salesman at a former Nitro dealership I can tell you that if you plan on using your live well much you better buy an extra touch panel. They are notorious for going bad. My brand new 2022’s touchpad lasted 3 days. Also get you a set of blue accent stripes for your motor. It will look awesome!
I’ve got nearly the same boat, a 2020 z20 with talons. Good: the ride, gelcoat quality, price (especially in 2019) Bad: touchscreen (mine died and needed replacement and new ecm. Luckily dealer fixed for me even though I was out of warranty). Carpet quality isn’t great. Big box dealers can be bad. Overall happy with mine. With new boat prices I’m hoping to hang onto mine a long time they’ve gone up a bunch since 2019
I love my 2021 z18. So much so that I kept it when I upgraded to my FXR21 Apex this year. It’s a great boat for my son to fish his High School league in, and for our lake house which really isn’t big enough to stretch out the Skeeter on (3km x 1km lake in an almost perfect crescent), but for myself and my son, the Z18 is perfect. Basically I kept it for him. He wants to go through the college leagues, so this will be his first boat. Maybe I’ll give him the Skeeter for college in two years, sell the Z18, and finally get that Ikon I want.
I also put the co angler rod storage option in. In addition where the step is between seats I made a fiberglass tray that sits over the tank. On the Z18s they didn’t start adding that tray until the 2022 models and Tracker does that as a factory install so I had no choice but to break out the fiberglass mold making stuff and create a custom tray …
Great review of the boat! Custom color? Skip the flashy flakes (it’s not you) and go matte! Matte colors are SO beautiful. No bling bling but real “wow” factor. I personally love matte baby blue but that’s my thing… Matte black, white, green, light blue are all killer colors! Even matte orange if that’s your thing. And always with a splash of matte black or white in the mix.
Like you I could own any boat I wanted. I love my Z9 nitro. I like your boat even better. Lots of cool improvements on your newer boat compared to my older one LOL. One bit of advice. Those bunk boards on the trailer. Keep a eye on them. I've had to change them all out. They last a while tho but they didn't use special wood LOL
Sweet tweaks for ole.blueballz! Dope run down on the goods and bads. All boats are a compromise. But get the job done is A1! And next years model might fix a few issues!👍🤠
Boat looks really nice. You did a great job getting the way you wanted. A red, white, and blue color scheme would look good. Especially if you have the American flag 🇺🇸 weaved into the exterior. Don’t forget a comfortable place for Bog to rest.
Great boat. I almost bought the nitro, but want with Caymas. Love your battery and graph setup. I've learned a ton fun watching you. Keep up the great content! Mikey... Please look at Caymas for your next boat. I'll take you out in mine any time! I'm in Huntsville.
I love that blue and black color. I wouldn't get any other color unless it was straight black. Lots of storage even has a place to store the Copenhagen. 🤣🤣🤣
Man I was really hoping that you did not get a white water marine boat! I mean there is some advantages, but I personally would have went with one of the new blazers!.. but it doesn't matter what I think, if you like it and love it and it feels good to you, you're the one that is paying for it not me and it's your boat not mine and that's the only part that matters! She sure is purdy tho... No for real it's a nice boat buddy! I like it, I promise you right now somebody gave me one I wouldn't give it back 😂.. stay safe out there tight lines brother
thanks dude and thanks for being honest but being nice about it. alot of guy's comments they just take shots. little bit of civility goes a long much appreciated bud!
I’m look at these nitro z20 on sale,looking at one with mercury 225 v8 , you think that is enough power for 20’ nitro, I don’t tournament fish , I’m looking stability in case I get into rough water, I don’t have $80,000 for other brand boat,you ever thought placing your rod straps in front Deck, from the side gunnel to the rod doors , so you can open door without moving your rods , but still keeping the original strap , I seen that on a video, what a great idea , thanks for informing on your boat
Hey Mikey! I live for your videos. I have learned sooo much! So, I just scored a killer deal on a Z18. I need to do that awesome modification on your console for access! Did you do it yourself? What did you use to cut the hole? Do you have links for the surround? Thanks man!!
I bought a new Z20 this year and got it in July. I like the layout and price. Could you do a video on how you set up your surge brake system. Couple of issues ive had. I had to modify my boat cover to fit because ghost TM was bigger than the standard minkota TM that cpmes with it. I also needed cover longer to cover the last foot to keep water off back deck. I think they put a 19 foot cover on it. I also added poles to help shed water. I couldnt back boat up without surge brakes activating. So i had to use the metal spacer behind the bolt in the tongue every time i needed to back up. Ive found out there is a selenoid on my boat i can get wired up to deactivate my surge brakes. I was never told about this when i picked up my boat. Im having the wiring on car fixed to activate the selenoid. Other issue my Nitro Z 20 lettering has come loose. I pushed down the flapping N letter and it has held but i lost the lower half of the 2. I really like your console mount. My mount covers my upper guages on consol. I need to switch to yours. Am i pleased with my boat not 100% I need to remove the front rod tubes like you did. I really like live well and removeable trays. I got the radio and deck lights. Problem with deck lights is you cant add a lock R bar. Of course i wasnt informed of this when i ordered my boat. That was a big bummer. I happy to be retired and fishing in my boat after not having a boat for 3 years. My aluminum boat was scraped after 35 years of service. A sad day. Thanks for your great videos. Keep making em i enjoy em and learn a lot.
The touch pad is bad... they replace them and give you an extra. Power poles or anchor poles are good for Florida. Supposed to be a 76 mph boat but you have it loaded up
It's not greatly priced anymore. I sold my boat in April and was going to order one of these and was told they weren't taking orders till August or September. I called around mid July and asked again and they had me come in and choose my options and get an order prepared. They printed me out a sheet and it was now 87,000.00 It went up almost 20k from April to July and there were less options available to choose from as well so I backed out. I changed what I want now even though I would still buy one of these. I am searching for a season or two old Falcon F20 Predator or F215 that someone has already loaded up. I just missed out on a 2019 F215 that was loaded and only 90 hours on it for 64,500.
I love my z20 I got it this year back in March. I upgraded to the 250 as well no power poles a light load of tackle and by my self I can get 75 mph and I have a manual jack plate
Also talking about customer colors I did that with mine and went with the gel grey and blue. I didn’t go over kill with the blue just the the two tropes on the railing and the big strip on the side is all I done
@@mikeybalzz yes and no cherokee lake and Douglas lake in east tn is my home lakes Rocky gravel lakes and any kind of scratch just pops out and is extremely noticeable but other than that I love it
I don’t know about a custom color but check out their STD blue/silver scheme. That’s what I got and every time I come off the water I get at least one comment about how amazing it looks. Unfortunately it’s very easy to recognize me on the water since I’ve never seen another boat that looks like mine …
Good set up buddy on your Nitro did you see my old setup on my Nitro? should check out that video. I wanted to upgrade my boat to a new one but I did not know when I should but I will at some point.
You'll want to put a Dexter kit on the trailer Mikey - before you have issues with the trailer (which you will). See the Nitro Owners group if you want details...2020 Z21 Pro
@@mikeybalzz has been ok. I haven’t had much time but times I have been good. Lost a largie that was about 6+. My net guy dropped net in water and it broke off. 😫 I love in Midwest of state. Eau Claire area.
not sure what you mean by stand alone? there's a screen dedicated to the 360 on the unit so i just had it set up that way. on next year's boat i think i'm going to skip the 360 though and either look at the hummingbird 360 or mounting double active targets.
I have a ghosts trolling motor as well what type of battery do you use, would those ghost work if you get a lithium 12 v and 24 v to be able to run it on 36 v or do u have to have 2 12 v
speak English, I use the Google translator. Much less do I understand fishing. My question is what are the two "blue" rods next to the engine? I'm brazilian. Grateful.
they are just zip up mesh bags. i got some from monster bass that come with the subscription deal and then the others i got off of amazon. it's like 20 of them for 15 bucks - practically the same as the branded ones just no logo.
Boggles my mind that a "tournament ready" boat would come with those cheap rubber rod straps. Even the new Z21 XL Pro, which is a flagship model, comes with them.
Another question in comment, I'm sorry that I'm flooding your comment section with stuff, but do you put pool noodles in your live Wells?.. I mean I really don't see you fishing a lot of tournaments and I think that is a tournament thing for long runs? Correct me if I'm wrong please? That's something I've been thinking about doing because I see my cousin doing it a lot and he says that it really helps out on keeping the fish from just banging off the sides inside of the wells! Do you know anything about that? I don't know bro maybe I spoke too soon, I'm not really a fan of white water, but that boat's super super clean! As long as that cone head 250 last 😂😂. You should be all right with blue ballz! 😂😂🤦🏻♂️😁✌️
if i fished derbs i would but i haven't had a fish in the well when i was on pad in years. that's what's kinda cool with this livewell it is has an inset around the edges so it sort of keeps them contatained - that said i would do the noodle trick if i was tournament fishing.
I hate this touch stuff.. utility over cool, please. If I have gloves on or wet hands, I don't want to have to compromise to use what should be a standard button, switch , or knob. Same for trucks
Dude .. The ladder is not for swimsuit girl … it’s for when you drive your boat up onto the trailer and climb out to attach the winch only to see your SUV start to roll back into the reservoir because you left it in ‘drive’ so you jump in and stomp on the brake and put it into park and then watch your nice silver and blue 2021 Z18 Pro slide back into said reservoir and slowly float away. So you then jump onto the dock and when it’s obvious the boat will not come close enough you jump into the water, put down the swim ladder and climb into your boat … I love fishing alone …. I can’t believe you’re here in Florida now and you didn’t invite me to go to Headwaters with you …😫
Why the fuck would you sell a brand new boat in favor of losing 15,000 just to change color…. Unless I’m missing something, Mikey isn’t boat sponsored is he??
@@mikeybalzz very true!! I have considered giving up my baby also… (Side note:) Mikey I have learned so much from you it’s absolutely incredible. I just wanted to say I love your content and love the mentality you approach fishing with. Keep it up dudebro

The ladder is not for swimsuit girl … it’s for when you drive your boat up onto the trailer and climb out to attach the winch only to see your SUV start to roll back into the reservoir because you left it in ‘drive’ so you jump in and stomp on the brake and put it into park and then watch your nice silver and blue 2021 Z18 Pro slide back into said reservoir and slowly float away. So you then jump onto the dock and when it’s obvious the boat will not come close enough you jump into the water, put down the swim ladder and climb into your boat … I love fishing alone …. I can’t believe you’re here in Florida now and you didn’t invite me to go to Headwaters with you …😫
did that seriously happen to you???
@@mikeybalzz even I couldn’t make up something like that! Of course I’m coming off the water when there is no one at the ramp …
And there’;s nothing like watching your new Nitro gently floating away from the dock with no one in it …
I had to get rid of my Z-19Pro because you copied my color
😂 well if you liked this one you'll love the one i'm going to order, i think the custom color is going to turn out sick!
@@mikeybalzz I loved my Nitro, I jumped into a 2022 Ranger 520R before they jumped up $10k plus
Pay Mikey comment
Buy a scale!!!
you are not going to be happy with an upcoming video 😂
@@mikeybalzz Ahahahaha!!!!!!
Why the fuck would you sell a brand new boat in favor of losing 15,000 just to change color…. Unless I’m missing something, Mikey isn’t boat sponsored is he??
Have you seen the used boat market?
@@mikeybalzz very true!! I have considered giving up my baby also… (Side note:) Mikey I have learned so much from you it’s absolutely incredible.
I just wanted to say I love your content and love the mentality you approach fishing with. Keep it up dudebro
@@gabescoffield much appreciated bud! 👊
touch pad has been changed to touch screen, boat went up 8k for 2023
Ummm, you have $80k or more in that boat Mikey.
You should come to Michigan instead. Forget that Wisconsin nonsense. Just kidding...kind of.
ahahah did MI some years ago with Ben Nowak and Caleb from Bassquest and had a blast!! need to see my homie in the WI though, it's been too long.
@@mikeybalzz you should come back up early June. Catch 200 smallmouth like it's nothing.
@UCEQZyHW%F0%9F%98%9190fmaTFvhIeEzTDg if i had the time i would, problem is it's fire down on the TN river in june too....everywhere is fire 😐, i need a fishing clone.
@@mikeybalzz I'd say I feel bad for you, but you're living the dream. Keep it up for us bass bums.
What a mess lol
Anybody who'd pay $40,000+ for a boat is clearly a pea brain.
Or can just afford it.
