New Nitro Owner

[Russell]

Hi everyone. Just bought a 2019 nitro Z 19 pro. I have only had it out once and it did very well. Still breaking in so haven't opened it up yet. It has the Mercury optimax 4 stroke 200hp. I am looking forward to talking with you guys about nitro boats. Thank you for allowing me to be part of it.

Super nice boat Russell, I see you have the front step and rail. I put that on my 2017, Z18, rig and have really appreciated the convenience. I've really been well impressed with the build and design of the Nitro. Mine is approaching 3 years old now and I fish 12 months a year and even some in saltwater with no issues. The trailer coating is holding up surprisingly well with almost no visible rust- just a little on the swing away tongue joint edges.
Other than scratching my boat up some in the areas we fish, I have had zero issues with the boat and engine, Mine is the 150 four. You should be able to enjoy yours for many years to come. I won't re-write some of the things I've commented about over the past couple of years but I think you are able to get to past posts on this site. Enjoy and be safe!

Hey Russell
Nice looking Z19! I purchased my 2018 Z18 last year. Minimal issues. Water inadvertently seeping into the livewell and some problems with trailer rims is all the issues I've had.
Keep us posted.

A 1 1/2" scupper valve in the overflow line will stop the livewell problem. I need some parts for a 2018 tandem axle Z18 trailer but I need a serial number off one. Can anyone help?
