Research 2014 - Nitro Boats - Nitro ZV 21

Watch out, walleye.

NITRO now has your number, too!

Using input from the world’s leading walleye anglers, NITRO is bringing its celebrated performance fiberglass boat heritage to a whole new group of anglers with the NEW ZV 21.

Big, bold and extremely beefy, this multi-species boat packs all the punch and rugged seaworthiness you need when heading out onto bigger waters.

It stands at an amazing 21’ 7” (6.58 m) long with a huge 100” (2.54 m) beam and 28” (71.12 cm) tall transom, ensuring it’s more than large enough to keep out the whitecaps.

And inside, the ZV 21 comes ready to please dedicated walleye, pike and muskie anglers alike with a multi-level center rod locker, heavy-duty trolling rails, Minn Kota trolling motor with a 60” (1.52 m) shaft and a patent-pending storage for a net. It also features a long 26-gallon (98.42 L) livewell to accommodate big walleye, and aerated lift-out bait buckets fore and aft for live bait.

And when its time to race to the weigh-in, you’ll have up to 300 horses at your back and a steep Deep V at the bow to ensure you slice through the chop and make it back in plenty of time.

The ZV 21. A big boat for big-time fishing.
