2021 Nitro Z20 - Ward

2021 Nitro Z20

Many professional tournament anglers choose the NITRO® Z20 because it competes with larger boats in regard to speed, but is compact enough for probing docks and shallower water. The basis of the Z20 is the NITRO VORTEX TECHNOLOGY™ (NVT™) hull—a design that uses a series of parabolic curves for quicker holeshots, more lift while on plane and improved handling.

The Z20 is optimized for tournament angling with a new Lowrance® HOOK Reveal 5C fishfinder, two massive 8’ bow rod lockers and an enormous center tackle storage compartment with the NITRO-exclusive TACKLE MANAGEMENT SYSTEM™. It comes fully rigged with a custom-matched, tandem-axle trailer with GALVASHIELD® Impact protection.
