Would appreciate comments on this rig, particularly if it's new to you! I live in the Portland area and the closest dealership is two hours away and they do not have any Z7's in stock! Thanks, Jim M.

Make sure you get it with Hydraulic steering with a 200 Pro XS. Very fast boat with that motor, and I suggest a jackplate to get the engine off the transom some for better performance and handling. Might be some non currents at the Western Bass Pro Shops stores or at Gone Fishin Marine in No. Cal. Good entry level bassboat with a 150. Rick G.

I got a similar but older boat... nx882 with a 150. My top end is 62 or63 trimmed out. A z7 with a 200 is gonna SCREW!! Make sure u get a 36VDC trollin motor. Great boats.

I know someone who has a Z7 with 175 for sale now, brand new he won it a couple of months ago. He is in northern CA.

For the money and options that come with a Z7 its a great boat. I fish out of my team partners Z8 and its a great ride and fishing platform.
To bad your up there, This weekend is the SAC sportsman show and I think GoneFishing will have a Z7 at the show. I know they have one in the showroom in Dixon.
