2014 Nitro Z-7

This 2014 Nitro Z-7 is an 18-foot fiberglass bay boat powered by a single 175 hp Mercury Marine engine. Built on a performance hull designed for strong acceleration and handling, the Z-7 combines capability with practical fishing-focused features in a compact, trailerable package.

The layout centers on tournament-grade fishing equipment and comfort. The boat seats three across at the helm with suspension systems, and includes a bow bicycle seat and aft folding chair for additional seating. Fishing storage comprises two rod lockers and a center bow locker with power-assisted lid. The 32-gallon divided aft livewell includes aerated recirculation, a timer, and pump-out system. A fold-down reboarding ladder and steps to both the bow and aft decks support safe movement around the boat.

Electronics and controls reflect the boat's fishing purpose. A Lowrance Mark-5x fishfinder is flush-mounted, and a Minn Kota Maxxum 24V trolling motor with 70-pound thrust provides foot-controlled bow propulsion. The tinted windscreen and easy-to-read instrumentation support visibility and operation. Additional deck features include a cooler and trash receptacle at the bow, and the boat is ready to accept an optional removable port console.

The boat comes on a matched trailer equipped with Galvashield corrosion protection, a swing-away tongue, and Vortex hubs for secure and durable road transport.
