Overview

The Nitro ZV-20 is a 20-foot, 2-inch fishing boat designed with extensive input from professional walleye anglers to optimize its functionality and performance. It features a thoughtfully crafted layout and a range of options to cater to various fishing styles, including bass and trout fishing. The boat is equipped with advanced electronics, ample storage, and a powerful engine lineup, making it a versatile and high-performance vessel.

Exterior Design and Bow Features

The bow area of the ZV-20 is outfitted with a standard Minn Kota Turova 36-volt trolling motor, delivering 112 pounds of thrust with a 60-inch composite shaft, foot control, Bluetooth connectivity, and Universal Sonar 2. There are eight additional trolling motor options available, supported by a ram-mounted shaft support to maintain stability when stowed. The bow casting deck is carpeted and includes five hatches that provide access to storage compartments. Eight-inch high bulwarks enhance safety and are equipped with speakers for the optional stereo system and grab rails. The pedestal seat at the bow offers two socket positions to accommodate different anglers and features a recessed foot control. To starboard, a 10-gallon baitwell with a removable bait bucket is installed. The bow also includes a tool holder, beverage holder, and outboard trim switches, while a non-skid mat facilitates safe boarding.

Cockpit and Helm Console

Moving aft, the cockpit is designed for comfort and utility with four contoured pedestal seats that swivel and include flip-down high-rise backrests. The seats are ergonomically designed with narrowing bases to allow easier leg rotation. The cockpit features 25-inch high bulwarks for safety and multiple grab rails for secure movement. Storage is abundant, with three hatches in the six-foot-six-inch by two-foot aft casting deck, two additional side compartments, and a 26-gallon aft baitwell with a removable livewell divider. The corner compartments include removable bins with molded dividers for Plano 3700 tackle sorters. The walkthrough windshield is 26 inches wide, leading down a 17-inch step that conceals ventilated rod storage for up to ten rods measuring eight feet, with additional rod storage beneath. The hatch is reinforced and secured with turn-and-lock latches. The helm console features a wraparound windshield and a recessed area for a RAM-mounted display, supporting up to 13 primary and 18 secondary display options. The control panel includes basic gauges and a SmartGraph gauge providing engine status information. A touchscreen interface manages all boat switching with one-touch mode controls for livewell aeration, lighting, bilge pumps, and more. The throttle is positioned conveniently near the armrest, and stereo controls are integrated into the console.

Storage and Amenities

Storage solutions are extensive throughout the ZV-20. The port console offers a 24-inch high windshield with a cubby beneath that includes a cell phone holder and connectivity ports, as well as a larger glovebox-style compartment. Additional storage compartments are located behind footrests and along the bulwarks, which also feature padded, self-draining cubbies, stainless beverage holders, net holders with padded mats, and tool holders. The deck hatches are supported by gas-assist struts and feature raised lips to keep interiors dry. The battery compartment and battery switch are accessed via a hatch in the deck.

Power and Performance

The Nitro ZV-20 offers three Mercury Pro XS engine options: 225, 250, and 300 horsepower, all equipped with digital throttle and shift controls and hydraulic steering. A 9.9-horsepower kicker motor can be mounted alongside the main engine. The test boat was powered by the 300-horsepower Mercury Pro XS with a 15.25 by 20 propeller. At full throttle of 6,200 rpm, the boat reached a top speed of 61.1 mph. The best economic cruise speed was 32.7 mph at 3,500 rpm, consuming 7.7 gallons per hour and delivering a fuel efficiency of 4.2 miles per gallon, with an estimated range of 210 statute miles while maintaining a 10% fuel reserve from the 55-gallon capacity. The hull features Nitro's NVT performance design with parabolic curves and an RPS transom for rapid planing. The boat planes in an average of 2.1 seconds, reaches 20 mph in 4.4 seconds, 30 mph in 6.4 seconds, and 40 mph in 8.9 seconds. It demonstrates excellent maneuverability and water adhesion during turns.

Trailer and Additional Features

The ZV-20 is delivered with a custom tandem-axle trailer that includes powder-coated GalvaShield corrosion and chip protection, 14-inch custom aluminum wheels with radial tires, and surge disc brakes on both axles. The trailer features an integrated boarding step with a safety handle for easier bow access, a swing-away tongue, outboard motor support, carpeted bunks, and submersible LED lights.
