Working closely with Kevin VanDam, NITRO is introducing the all-new Z-Core™ Seating System— a total redesign of the traditional high-performance bass boat seat. The seat starts with an all-composite, rotomolded frame, manufactured in our own engineered polymer plant in Lebanon, Missouri.
Serious bass anglers want to know, how fast does it go? BoatTEST's answer for the Nitro Z20 with Mercury 250L Pro XS is 76.6 mph WOT.
Does Nitro use wood in the construction of their boats? Yes, they use marine plywood in the transom and encapsulate it with fiberglass (it is a composite because plywood itself is a composite, so "no wood" is technical but if you are meaning aluminum decking/transom/stringers..they are are all "wood".
White River Marine Group—The #1 Recreational Boat Manufacturer In The World. NITRO boats are built by WHITE RIVER MARINE GROUP, the largest boat builder in the world by volume.

The original question was, "can a bass boat flip?" The answer of course is yes, and some quite easily.
A heavy rainstorm has the potential to sink boats, but it doesn't have to be that way. The boats we use should be designed to float even when it rains. Bilge pump systems should be able to expel water from boats to keep them afloat when there is a hose failure or even when it rains.
No Rivets.And they are backed by our limited lifetime warranty.
Many boats sink because of leaks at thru-hulls, outdrive boots, or the raw water cooling system, all of which are routinely implicated when boats sink at the dock. Boats underway can strike floating debris or stray onto a rocky shoal (“Navigation errorâ€). There are careless skippers who forget to install drain plugs.
No modern bass boat will sink out of sight. Bass Cat models will definitely float when submerged on all models.
Tips for a Sinking Boat
- Get Everyone Into a Life Jacket. If you don't already have your life jacket on, make sure that yours is secure and ensure that everyone else does the same.
- Put in a Distress Call.
- Find the Leak.
- Use Bilge and Crash Pumps.
- Head Back to Shore.
- Take Necessary Supplies.
- Tips for Preventing Leaks.

Both ride really well. Money wise you get what you pay for. Nitro is a nice boat. Skeeter is a nicer boat.
Why do bass boats have such sparkly glitter paint? The answer is both by manufacturers to attract fishermen buyer's to a good-looking boat and to hide the scratches and scuffs associated with hard fishing the boat will endure. There is also some belief that the reflection of the glitter will attract fish.
