After looking at that bass boat hull it looks like it would beat the beegeebers out of you on Lake O.  or the Rock. 

Also guessing on a 3 quarter head wind it would soak you to the bone. 

There are just to many good bass boats out there with local dealers to stand behind them here to make a move like that unless they were so low cost it was strict a money decision

I wouldn't poo poo the Nitro to much right now as since Johnny bought Triton and Ranger, Nitro has become the flagship for those lines. 

Just an opinion and you know the story about those. 

Thank you Bill. I do like the Nitro - especially the beam dimensions. My little Triton is so narrow up front that the Nitro is impressive to me. The price point of the Nitro is about where I would like to be also.

If you want a ride in a Nitro Z20 we can make that happen.

Make an appointment at Warsaw with Pro Choice Marine. Tell the owner Luke I sent you. You will not find a better price on a Nitro anywhere. I think they may be the biggest dealer in the US for Nitro boats 

Before you buy one go across the street to Anglers Port and check out the Phoenix's. Really without equal in dry ride big water bass boats.  At that 2 dealerships you can see 4 lines of bass boats. 

Everything but I believe Triton and Bass Cat. I'd probably stay clear of the Triton's as they keep telling us they are going away.

 I've been through a ton of them, and I can promise you that Nitro's are every bit as well built as any of the other leading brands.  And are even better built than many.   

I've chopped up a Champion, a couple of Chargers, a Triton, Tidecraft,  and whatever the one was with the "Kevlar infused Incredible Hull" (name escapes me at the moment)  with a chainsaw, and I was surprisingly disappointed in the frame and build quality.   I'm not so sure that any of them truly deserve their reputation.   Lots of little things that show a total lack of engineering knowledge.  And a lack of structural integrity.

Good to know. I will make the trip.

Champions I thought were a real solid boat. - I know several people that swear by them. So this surprised me a little. 

I know I will not stick with the Triton.

Speaking of which, I tried sending you a message Wrench.  Let me know if you didn’t get it.
