2026 Nitro ZV21 300 XL Verado

Our revamped flagship refines the standard in Deep V performance, strength, and fishability. The 2025 ZV21 is built extra tough to tame any water, and features innovative new tactically-designed gunnels, Z-touch controls and saddle storage that’ll fit up to four dozen 3700-sized utility boxes. A new console and bow panel will accept any electronics you could dream of, and the in-floor battery compartment fits up to 5 batteries and their chargers with ease. Up front is a RAM-mounted 12” Garmin ECHOMAP Ultra w/LiveScope Plus. And at the console is a Garmin ECHOMAP Ultra 12”. A Garmin Force Kraken 36V, 100-lb. thrust trolling motor delivers stealthy power and easy control.

The aggressive Deep V hull, stringer system and deck on the Zv21 are chemically-bonded to form a one-piece structure that flattens swells and soaks up waves with a smooth, dry ride. And for the sprint back to the weigh-in, 400 horses and the new 80-gallon fuel tank deliver unmatched performance no matter how long the run. When it comes to tough conditions, choose the ZV21. It has the muscle to make you a champion.
