2026 Nitro Z17

The Nitro Z17 is a 17-foot bay boat built on a fiberglass hull with a single 115-horsepower Mercury FourStroke outboard. The design emphasizes quick planing and stable handling at speed through Nitro's NVT hull shape. At 7.5 feet wide, the beam provides room for multiple anglers and keeps the boat stable across varying water conditions.

Storage is central to the layout. Lockable rod lockers accept rods up to 7 feet 6 inches, while the rear deck includes dedicated tackle boxes that stay organized and dry. Additional storage runs beneath the deck throughout the boat, taking full advantage of the compact footprint.

The helm is fitted with a standard Lowrance fishfinder and full gauge set with reliable switching. A custom-fitted trailer designed specifically for this hull comes included, engineered for straightforward towing and launch cycles over time.
