2026 Nitro Z17

The Nitro Z17 is a 17-foot bay boat built on a fiberglass hull powered by a single 115-horsepower Mercury FourStroke outboard. The NVT hull design delivers quick planing and acceleration with responsive handling at speed, while the wide 7.5-foot beam provides stability and ample room for multiple anglers across a range of water conditions.

Storage and tackle organization anchor the boat's fishing practicality. Lockable rod lockers accommodate rods up to 7 feet 6 inches, and dedicated tackle boxes on the rear deck keep gear organized and accessible. Beneath-deck storage offers additional space throughout the boat. The helm station is outfitted with a Lowrance fishfinder, full instrumentation, and straightforward controls.

A custom-fitted trailer engineered for this hull is included, designed to simplify trailering and long-term ownership. The Z17 combines economical operation with a compact, towable footprint suited to casual and serious anglers alike.
