Nitro ZV 18 Test 2015- By BoatTest.com

For more review, test, performance data, captain reports and more about the 2015 Nitro ZV 18, go to http://www.boattest.com/review/nitro/3375_zv-18-ref=YT The new 2015 Nitro ZV 18 is a slightly smaller version of the already acclaimed ZV 21. Nitro designed the ZV 18 for the multi-species fishing angler, meaning multi-tackle, multi-bait, multi-livewell and multi-rod stowage. Owned by Bass Pro Shops, the builder knows what it takes to catch the trophies in large lakes where muskie, pike, lake trout, and walleyes reside. Nitro’s new 17-degree deadrise at the transom is a reasonable compromise between a flatter bottom for more speed and a deeper V for better riding in a nasty chop. This design should allow her owner to travel into bigger water in a bit more comfort, while keeping passengers dry, and ensuring a safe return to port should conditions arise. For those looking for a multi-purpose fishing boat, the ZV 18 also comes with an optional wrap around windshield and tow pylon for watersports and added family fun.
