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 NVT hull design delivers quick planning and smooth acceleration with responsive handling at cruising speeds, while the wide 7.5-foot beam provides stability and room for multiple anglers.

The boat is laid out for serious fishing. Lockable rod lockers forward accommodate rods up to 7 feet 6 inches, and dedicated tackle storage in the rear keeps boxes organized and within reach. The helm is fitted with a standard Lowrance fishfinder, full gauge package, and control switches. Ample storage is built into the deck throughout.

The Z17 comes with a custom-fitted trailer engineered for the hull. The combination of modest size, fuel-efficient outboard power, and integrated storage makes the boat straightforward to own and trailer.
