Hey guys i will be purchasing a boat this spring and i was planning on getting a 2011 Nitro Z-8 with a 250 Mercury, 2 power poles, 10" jack plate, remote oil fill, Hummingbird 998 for the bow and dash, CD player, Hot Foot, and a Minn Kota 101lb thrust trolling motor. And thats just the custom add-ons. And the price i got was $47,840.00. The 2012 Nitro Z-9 with all the same add-ons is $50,540.00. And my question is why is the price so close for a newer boat and the bigger Z-9? Thanks for reading this and i hope to get back to you guys shortly.
