2024 Boat Walk-Through Nitro Z-21XL

I’ve got my new boat for the year early and ready to show you everything we do to it to make it ready for the season. I do a decent amount of mods on it to set it up just the way I like! ‪@RAILBLAZA‬ additions truly make it so much more functional for me.

[@stephenallen6741]

Being able to push a button and adjust your motor to a certain setting is pretty neat and high tech to me. Had no clue that was even a thing but will say I can imagine it makes life very convenient on the run

[@steverogers1298]

That's awesome Brother love your boat and set up Brother thanks for sharing it with us! I know you hear this lot, but hope this Baptist preacher gets to go fishing with you and Andy sometime. I love you guys, and yall are a great inspiration and blessing in the fishing sport and industry! GOD BLESS YOU all and may you have a blessed year! Eph. 3:20, Luke 1:37

[@mikenolan6562]

What an awesome rig! You are so blessed! Looking forward to seeing fishing videos from your new boat. Thanks for all the time you put into trying to help us little guys catch more fish.

[@greghiday]

Beautiful boat Ott. Will be following along. God Bless.

[@daveluhrs1504]

you're always a pure joy to listen to. No surprise you know every inch and how everything works even if others may have helped set it up. I'm on my second ranger Z520 and could not be happier with it. But your Nitro sure is set up nice.

[@davidwilliams1805]

Very nice Ott! Thanks for sharing!

[@Venandii77]

Yup had a Vexus and upgraded to the 2023 Nitro Z21xl and it has been an awesome fishing platform! The boats performance is unreal! Handling, speed and comfort is just crazy!

[@darthbane5346]

Love watching your videos and love learning from you. Your videos has helped improve my fishing experience.

[@travismullins26]

That’s my dream boat setup Mr Ott you are my favorite I love watching you fish and I love the person you are and what you stand for good luck this year ole buddy I will be cheering you on like every other year.

[@adamlilly9530]

Awesome start to the 2024 season can't wait to see more. Thank you Ott.

[@robertrieckenberg282]

love watching like the way you outfit your boats

[@Pudge4400]

Awww, man! I'm soooo jealous! A tornado ate my boat in December and insurance won't cover it. I'm just teasing about the jealous part...that's an awesome rig man! Congrats...you deserve it! ✊

Man what a boat!!!

[@glenedwards3038]

Very well rigged boat Ott and hope you get to use all of that awesome equipment to win a lot this year!

Great walk around!!!! Right on with that new Minn Kota TM!!!!!

Ott, great looking boat and rigged the way you like it. Just wanted to let you know I’m looking forward to watching you on live stream on the FLW tour. Praying you have a great year and a safe one. 🙏🎣🦃

[@Chris_palmer1980]

Happy new year

[@Everydayfishing]

Very nice - this is one of the first pro setups that I've seen with the Live pole added. I'm curious to see how much you use that setup vs. the one on the trolling motor shaft. Excited to see it in action!

[@robertbohannon2286]

Nice rig man. One of us is confused about the location of your GPS antennas. I don't think the location is where the transducer is at. The location is where the antennae is located.

[@greggnunnelee7650]

Own an ‘01 Nitro. It’s been a great boat, but I wish Tracker would produce the Legend boat since they bought them.

[@KVX21]

Shopping now for a boat, gonna go with IKON, but agree if LEGEND was around absolutely beautiful boats.

[@lisachapman2881]

We would like to see more videos on the Norris lake

[@Zimbass101]

Thanks for the walk thru Quick question why are you choose if not to run target loch for ur mega live?

[@rogerglasco5941]

Very good video. Nice looking rig. I know you have run several Nitro boats. I have watched several of your videos. I hope Johnny Morris takes good care of you. Did KVD help you design your garage? It is beautiful.

[@OttDeFoeFishing]

They are good to me. No he didn’t. Should have asked him to though!

[@user-xm8rf6ik7b]

Bro you can take the hinge off and put a piece of flat nylon strap and fold it in half and screw it in in place of the hinge and it will do the same thing . I’m no genius just an average guy

[@OttDeFoeFishing]

Yeah that would work too. I never had any issue like this last year.

[@outdoorswithjt6652]

2024 and still carpet in boats

[@OttDeFoeFishing]

Yeah. I love hydro Turf in my tracker.

[@brentchapmanoutdoors]

Awesome Ott!

[@mikenolan6562]

Do you fish bare footed for a particular reason or is it just personal preference?

[@OttDeFoeFishing]

Just preference.

[@benlavallee9303]

How many volts are you seeing on your graphs with that Power Pros 12v 215ah battery? I run Solix and with my 12 agm in parallel setup I see 12.6 on the battery, 12.55 at the fuse box and 12.5 on the graphs but am under 12 after 4 hours. Debating between this battery and the 16v Powerhouse Lithium but am afraid I will have the same voltage seeing that is is still a 12V battery. Solix are temperamental at low voltage.

[@vernonneal7050]

Nice rig and setup!! Why not use the target lock vs the pole?

[@OttDeFoeFishing]

I like the simplicity of it and I can remove it easier.

[@vernonneal7050]

[@benlavallee9303]

How is the power consumption on the apex? I am running 2 15 solix and 1 12 solix with live / tg lock and 360. I can’t stay in the 12v range for more then 3 hours. C clear power harness, dedicated run for live. 2 group 31 interstates in parallel.

[@OttDeFoeFishing]

I don’t have any issues with it and never put them in standby. I am running a 215 amp hour lithium pros cranking battery. It’s a beast!

[@benlavallee9303]

@@OttDeFoeFishing thanks so much for the reply. Did you see a big difference when you went to the lithium vs AGM? Is it more stable voltage? Are you running dedicated power to each unit, sonar pros or Sea Clear harness, cutting down power cables to units?

[@benlavallee9303]

@@OttDeFoeFishing also are you networking with an either net box or just linking two of your units together with an Ethernet cable. Essentially leaving one unit for Mega Live or only?

[@OttDeFoeFishing]

They are on dedicated power. My live and 360 share a power too. Nitro rigs it with their own harness. It’s similar to those you mentioned. I do not have an Ethernet box. With the dual ports on the apex I can link them and plug in the accessories.

[@billljones979]

A live pole up front, that won't get in the way?? I'm really interested in seeing that boat on the water

[@OttDeFoeFishing]

It could for sure. I’m still learning with it. My thought is if I’m fishing with it I won’t be side casting much. It’s easy to take off so if I’m target fishing it comes off in a minute.

[@billljones979]

@OttDeFoeFishing true, either way that boat is looking sharp, I can't wait to see it launch in a few weeks, this boat will be in aoy contention no doubt, let's go

[@brianjamison4272]

I dont think you have enough electronics and stuff up front. (ridiculous) Hopefully that heavy sled will get up on plane

All the weight on the nose makes it plane off quicker 😂
