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 stable, controlled handling at speed. At 7.5 feet wide, the boat provides room for multiple anglers and good stability across varying water conditions.

The deck layout prioritizes fishing functionality. Lockable rod lockers accommodate rods up to 7 feet 6 inches, while the rear deck features dedicated tackle storage kept organized and dry. The helm station includes a standard Lowrance fishfinder and full gauge instrumentation. Below-deck storage compartments offer additional space for gear and provisions.

The boat comes fitted with a custom-matched trailer designed for the Z17 hull, supporting straightforward towing and storage. Economical operation and an accessible size make ownership straightforward for those wanting capable shallow-water fishing performance.
