1997 Nitro 800xls

This 1997 Nitro 800XLS is an 18-foot fiberglass bay boat powered by a 115-horsepower Mercury engine. The boat has been substantially updated with new seating for three, a 24-volt trolling motor, and two live wells for baitfish storage. A pair of Humminbird fish finders—a Helix 7 and a Helix 5—are installed to help locate structure and cover.

Recent mechanical work includes new spark plugs, fuel filter, and lower unit oil service on the engine. The steering cables have been replaced. A bilge pump handles water management, and the boat rides on a roller trailer with new tires and spare.

Additional features enhance functionality and appeal. Black light strips are mounted under the rub rail for nighttime fishing visibility. A Diamond X coating applied to the hull sides simplifies cleaning when operating in turbid water. The boat comes as pictured and equipped.
