Sports car performance, sedan comfort, SUV utility. The NITRO® Z21 XL combines these and more into the ultimate no-holds-barred bassin' rig. In the 21-foot class, the Z21 XL stands alone in performance-driven fishability with a colossal casting deck, pro-driven layout, and all the fishing features demanded by the top pros. Up front, an extra-wide bow gives you more stability on the trolling motor, and you'll be at your best all day thanks to the padded front deck. The colossal center stows carry both rods and tackle in organized security and are accessible at a moment's notice. All-new slam latches mean no more twist latches to trip over when left undone. Underfoot in the cockpit is an EVA foam pad for fast-drying non-skid grip, while the helm is an angler's dream, carrying electronics up to 16", a full gauge set, and the NITRO® Z-TOUCH™ touchscreen control center. Z-CORE™ suspension seating saves your back in chop and keeps you centered in high-performance turns thanks to the side-bolstered design. The running surface of the Z21 XL features NVT™ technology for instant planing, nimble handling, and superior speeds with a full load. Our engineers focused on real-world tournament conditions to deliver a better experience with a full load, fishing partner, full livewells, and a full complement of gear to give you the pro-grade experience you've been looking for.
