2026 Nitro Z17

The Nitro Z17 is a 17-foot bay boat built on a fiberglass hull with a 115-horsepower Mercury FourStroke outboard. The NVT hull design delivers quick planing and stable, predictable handling at speed, while the wide 7.5-foot beam provides a solid platform for multiple anglers and contributes to stability across conditions.

The boat's layout prioritizes fishing functionality. Lockable rod lockers accommodate rods up to 7 feet 6 inches, and the rear deck features dedicated tackle storage designed to keep boxes organized and accessible. The cockpit combines a standard Lowrance fishfinder, full gauge package, and straightforward controls. Extensive under-deck storage keeps the boat uncluttered.

The Z17 comes with a custom-fitted trailer matched to the hull for reliable towing and storage. The combination of the compact 17-foot length and light weight makes the boat easy to transport and manageable to own and maintain.
