    Custom Nitro Order Experience/questions???

    That's awesome, gratz on the payouts Larry! From what I have experienced, the spot-lock adjustments are made using the speed set on the pedal at that time. Same for the always-on prop button when you're running a long contour which is nice as its just slight changes to the position or speed...

    Custom Nitro Order Experience/questions???

    Sorry for the delay Larry, been real busy of late. I find the Spot Lock feature to be incredible. It will face you into the wind but it will keep you on the spot in some pretty stiff wind and now I can really fish a spot thoroughly. I like using the entire boat to fish so this works out great...

    Gratz Chris - very nice! I like the speaker placement between the seats too. Them slippery buggers better be on the lookout for you in this upcoming tournament!

    Any Thoughts Or Discussion About The Z18?

    For me, I trailer the boat every place it goes and the tandem gives it stability on the rough roads where the single axle bounces quite a bit and the boat takes a beating, especially some of the dirt roads here. Plus the surge breaking system is nice that they come with, and I find they are...

    Any Thoughts Or Discussion About The Z18?

    I hope you get it up and running by the 23rd then. Here, the weather has been Snow, Sleet, and Temps below 40 so not a lot of fishing going on. I got out a few times only so far. Here are a few pics, as promised.

    Custom Nitro Order Experience/questions???

    Took me a week to get it out onto the water for the 1st time due to snow and cold weather conditions. Everything yesterday went very well as the setup for the Ultrex and remote was easy, and the hole shot was about 3.5 seconds so no concerns there. I knew the 150 Four stroke was going to be...

    Custom Nitro Order Experience/questions???

    Hey Chris! Load eligible means awaiting shipment. It took about a week before it showed up at the dealership for me, then they will do a receiving inspection on it which can take a few days but also depends on their workload as to how quickly it gets through that but the Service people should...

    New To Tracker

    Welcome Nathan! Nice boat that V18, I'm sure that will provide a lot of hours of quality family boating and fishing time for you. Covers... hmm, there are a few places worth checking where you can get a custom-fit cover for a Targa V-18 w/ or w/o a Trolling motor. Aurora Covers is real good...

    www.wheelcovers.com does wheel covers as small as 13" I believe and all sorts of caps, etc.

    2018 Z17

    Thanks for sharing Chris - Nice FISH by the way! My new boat arrived at the dealer and is awaiting rigging, etc. Should be able to pick it up sometime late next week, but we'll see how that shakes out. Can't go fishing around here yet anyways... another 12" of snow last night o_O Since...

    '96 Nitro 170, 75hp Merc

    Nice, and welcome Kappy! I had a '96 Nitro 180FS with the Mercury 150 EFI. Was a solid boat for a lot of years. I still see it around once in a while so it is still serving somebody very well.

    Any Thoughts Or Discussion About The Z18?

    I suspect the 23p Tempest will serve well then for an improved hole shot, with a slight loss on the top end, but that's what I'm aiming for.

    Any Thoughts Or Discussion About The Z18?

    I hear that about trying to squeeze every MPH out of it. We have well regulated speed limits here on most lakes set at 35 or 45 mph, so not much sense in 60+ around here. I am just hoping for a decent hole shot and that is about it. I went with the 150-4 also for its quite, economical, low...

    Any Thoughts Or Discussion About The Z18?

    I will have to check on my Merc coverage and upgrade if not already at Platinum, good advice there, thanks! How do you like that 150 4-stroke? That thing is supposed to be bullet-proof. I see Pro's Choice put the jack plate on too, good thinking. What did they set your Prop to Pad at to...

    No Power To Start Motor!

    There are a few possibilities aside from the batteries. Checkout this video, it does a good job of explaining all of the things that could be the problem.

    Welcome Paul! I fished out of a 2013 Nitro Z-6 w/ 115 Pro XS for 4 years and it was a terrific boat, nimble as all get-go. I will miss her at times, for sure, but it's onto a new boat which should arrive from the factory next weekend.

    Any Thoughts Or Discussion About The Z18?

    I have spoken to a few guys at Pro's Choice Marine this past year, and love their website. I even considered buying a boat from them, but shipping was going to eat-up any savings. I've heard nothing but good things about them.
