What are the differences by year for Nitros

[jweeksend]

So I'm back in the market for another Nitro, I'm looking at a 2019 Z19pro and a 2020 z19pro and a 2022 z19 pro. What are the differences between the years if any? I looked at the hull and they look the same so what would be any differences that should be standing out? Thank you for your help.

Those years are the same boat hull, what might be different is rubber pads on the trailer, plastic coating on the transom splash well to prevent scuffing from motor hose. Maybe a couple other things. Find the one with lowest hours and best deal.
Good luck

The lowest hours are the 2019 and the lowest price, That's why I was asking if there were any differences between the years. Just wanted to be sure that I wasn't missing something. Thank you for your reply.

Since the pandemic hit, boat prices sky rocketed for the 2020's and newer. That's probably why the 19's are priced better.
I have a 2019 Z20 and love it. I bought it in 2020 used with 25 hours on it.

My theory is that the Z series was designed so well that there has been very little to consider changing other than cosmetic stuff. I have the 2017 Z18 bought new. Other than cosmetic appearance items the boat is exactly the same for 2024 (someone correct me if I missed something significant).

Just a heads up. The quality control on boats built during the pandemic was very poor especially on my 2021 Z19 Sport. My list of defects and problems is just over 30 issues now. I’m still dealing with gasoline blow out when opening the gas tank fill cap. I think the 2019’s fit and finish most likely would be much better.
