2026 Nitro Z17

The Nitro Z17 is a 17-foot bay boat built on a fiberglass hull with a single 115 hp Mercury FourStroke outboard. The design prioritizes quick planing and responsive handling at speed, supported by the NITRO NVT hull and a 7.5-foot beam that balances maneuverability with stability across varying water conditions.

The layout prioritizes angler comfort and storage. Rod lockers accommodate rods up to 7 feet 6 inches, while dedicated tackle storage on the rear deck keeps gear organized and accessible. The wide beam provides seating for multiple anglers and ample deck space for working. The helm station includes a Lowrance fishfinder, full gauge instrumentation, and robust switching.

A custom-fitted trailer is included, engineered specifically for this hull to support years of towing and launching. The combination of proven Mercury power, efficient hull design, and straightforward systems makes this boat economical to operate and own.
