Nitro Z21: BoatTEST Review
Overview
The Nitro Z21 Bass Boat represents an all-new design aimed at bass fishing enthusiasts who demand both high performance and practical fishing features. At 21 feet 2 inches in length, it is the largest bass boat in its class, combining stability, speed, and ample fishing space. Powered by a Mercury 250 Pro XS two-stroke outboard engine, the Z21 is engineered to deliver competitive performance that can make a difference in tournament settings.
Power and Performance
The Z21 is equipped with a Mercury 250 Pro XS two-stroke outboard paired with a 14x24 Fury stainless steel three-blade propeller. During testing, the boat achieved a top speed of 71.1 mph at 6,000 rpm, consuming 22.8 gallons per hour, which translates to a range of approximately 154 miles. The most efficient cruising speed was found at 4,000 rpm, where the boat maintained 39.9 mph while burning 9 gallons per hour, extending the range to 219 miles. Weighing 3,243 pounds, the Z21 is heavier than some competitors, but this added weight enhances stability and ride quality in choppy conditions and wakes. The Rapid Planing System contributes to quick acceleration, allowing the boat to plane off in 3.5 seconds, reach 20 mph in 6 seconds, and 30 mph in 8.6 seconds, ensuring responsive handling and a strong hole shot.
Fishing Features and Exterior Design
The Z21 offers extensive fishing amenities, starting with a spacious 45 square foot padded casting deck at the bow. It includes a Minn Kota trolling motor with recessed foot controls, a cup holder, switch panel, and ample space to flush mount a fish finder up to 12 inches. Bow navigation lights are also flush mounted for a sleek appearance. The forward fishing seat is adjustable to accommodate anglers of varying heights, and a tool holder is conveniently located nearby. The aft casting deck is similarly spacious, featuring a removable fishing chair and a stainless steel boarding ladder on the port swim step for easy water access. Storage is abundant, with an 8-foot rod locker on the port side capable of holding at least 15 rods, additional smaller compartments, and a large starboard locker. All hatches are reinforced with aluminum, gas-strut assisted, and lockable to secure valuable gear. The aft deck contains tackle box slots, two 19-gallon livewells, removable tubs, and access to batteries, trim pump, and oil tank. A notable innovation is the battery switch that allows the trolling motor battery to jumpstart the engine if the cranking battery is depleted.
Interior and Helm
Nitro collaborated with a NASCAR team, leveraging expertise from Bass Pro Shops' sponsorship of driver Tony Stewart, to develop shock-absorbing seats with thick wraparound padding and rugged grab rails for enhanced comfort and durability. The port bucket seat features an angled footrest, and the center seat is removable to facilitate easier movement during tournaments. The helm is thoughtfully designed with a turn signal style trim switch that enables motor adjustments without removing hands from the wheel. The dashboard includes a water pressure gauge beneath the tachometer, which doubles as a trim indicator, and space for a flush-mounted 12-inch fish finder or other electronics. Additional instrumentation includes a speedometer with integrated fuel and oil level gauges, and a touchscreen switch panel. The steering wheel is tilt-adjustable, and the gunwale control is dedicated to engaging the motor, complemented by a foot throttle. Livewell controls are conveniently located below the shifter, and a cleverly concealed cell phone holder under the console protects devices from the elements while keeping them accessible. Adjacent rod storage and a glove box add to the functional layout.
Additional Amenities
Beneath the step leading to the forward casting deck, the Z21 houses a cooler with improved insulation, a removable wastebasket, and a snap-in sandwich holder designed to keep food dry and secure. When closed, the cooler hatch provides cup holders and tool holders within easy reach. The boat is equipped with four pull-up cleats that retract to prevent fishing line snags, enhancing safety and convenience during docking and fishing activities.
Conclusion
The Nitro Z21 Bass Boat successfully balances high-performance capabilities with practical fishing features, making it a compelling choice for serious bass anglers. Its large casting decks, innovative storage solutions, and stable ride quality set it apart within its class. Coupled with a competitive price point that includes the boat, motor, and trailer, the Z21 offers a well-rounded package for tournament anglers and fishing enthusiasts alike.
