Overview
The Nitro ZV-19 Sport is a fiberglass fishing ski designed to handle rough lake conditions while providing comfort for anglers and families. It is sold as a complete package including boat, motor, and trailer across the United States. This model aims to deliver both recreational water sports and serious fishing capabilities.
Trailer Features
The boat is paired with a Nitro-branded tandem axle trailer that is powder-coated and treated with GalvaShield for enhanced corrosion and chip resistance. It features 14-inch custom aluminum wheels with radial tires, steel fenders with diamond tread step plates, and a standard spare tire carrier, although the spare tire itself is optional but recommended. Unique to this trailer are integrated boarding steps with a safety handle to facilitate boarding at the bow while on the trailer. The trailer also includes a swing-away folding tongue to reduce storage length, a heavy-duty winch with a non-binding nylon strap and bow safety strap, fully submersible LED tail and side lights, and carpeted bunks and fender boards to protect the hull.
Power and Performance
The standard powerplant for the Nitro ZV-19 Sport is a Mercury 150XL four-stroke outboard, with options available up to 225 horsepower. The test boat was equipped with a 225 horsepower Mercury Pro XS with DTS controls, mounted on a 10-inch adjustable jack plate. The hull features a 17-degree deadrise at the transom and incorporates design elements such as a pad, strakes, reverse planing chine, and displacement chine, which optimize speed, fuel efficiency, and stability compared to aluminum hulls. Performance testing showed a top speed of 52.2 miles per hour at 5850 RPM, with a best cruise speed of 22.2 miles per hour at 3000 RPM yielding 4.4 miles per gallon and a range of 176 statute miles. The boat planes quickly, accelerating to 20 miles per hour in 4.5 seconds and 30 miles per hour in 6.4 seconds. Handling is firm with minimal chine walk during hard turns, although trimming down is necessary to prevent propeller ventilation.
Exterior Design and Deck Layout
The aft cockpit dedicates significant space to a casting platform elevated 19 inches above the deck, measuring seven feet wide by just over two feet deep. It includes a pedestal mount for a fishing seat and a removable tournament-style tow-sport pylon for water sports. Integrated jump seats on both port and starboard sides provide storage for up to twelve Plano tackle boxes. Beneath the center of the casting platform lies a 26-gallon anti-slosh livewell equipped with an aerator, pump-out, and dividers, all secured with turn-and-lock latches and rounded corners. Upholstered cushions allow the platform to convert into a sun pad. The port-side swim platform features a four-step reboarding ladder. Stainless steel grab rails run along the gunwales, and the cockpit includes built-in speakers, drink holders, and drains. The aft cockpit measures 27 inches deep with 24 inches of freeboard.
Interior and Storage
Under the aft cockpit deck, the boat houses a heavy-duty starting battery, two trolling batteries, and an emergency e-start jump-start system. Battery switches and a 20-amp charger are installed, though the battery switch location could be more accessible. The helm and companion seats are contoured for comfort and include mesh storage nets on the backrests. The port side features rubberized storage designed for a landing net, and the passenger console offers a spacious glove box with a stainless-steel grab rail. The helm is traditional with analog gauges, a keyed ignition, and space for two large electronics displays. Hydraulic steering with custom tilt and a waterproof digital touch keypad system controller are standard. Additional features include stereo controls, courtesy lighting, and separate windshields with a center walkthrough.
Forward Deck and Fishing Amenities
The forward casting platform extends six feet from bow to consoles and nearly seven feet wide, recessed 12 inches below the gunnels with 30 inches of freeboard. It accommodates cushioned loungers with removable backrests and a pedestal-mounted fishing seat. The standard Minn Kota PowerDrive 24-volt trolling motor with 70 pounds of thrust and a 60-inch composite shaft is foot-controlled and equipped with universal sonar. The test boat included the optional Minn Kota iPilot GPS system. Controls for navigation lights, anchor light, and trim switches are conveniently located on a bow panel. Additional features include a 10-gallon roto-molded aerated livewell with timer and pump-out system, a fully insulated cooler with removable sandwich tray, reinforced locking hatches with gas-assist struts for storage, and recessed forward navigation lights. Six 4-inch pull-up cleats are strategically placed around the boat.
Dimensions and Weight
The Nitro ZV-19 measures 18 feet 11 inches in length overall with a beam of 8 feet 6 inches and a draft of 1 foot 8 inches. The empty weight is approximately 2,300 pounds. With 60 percent fuel, the test power setup, and two people aboard, the estimated test weight was 3,387 pounds.
Conclusion
The Nitro ZV-19 Sport successfully combines the attributes of a fishing boat and a recreational watercraft. Its fiberglass hull design enhances performance and fuel efficiency, while the layout offers ample storage, livewells, and comfort features for anglers and families alike. The boat accelerates quickly, handles well in turns, and provides a smooth ride in choppy conditions. Minor improvements could be made in battery switch placement, but overall, the ZV-19 Sport is a versatile and enjoyable boat to operate.
