2026 Nitro Z17

The 2026 Nitro Z17 is a 17-foot bay boat built on a fiberglass hull with a single 115-horsepower Mercury FourStroke outboard. The design emphasizes manageable proportions suited to trailering while delivering stable, responsive handling on the water. The NVT hull design promotes quick planing and acceleration with steady performance at speed.

The boat accommodates multiple anglers across its 7.5-foot beam, which provides both seating capacity and inherent stability. Rod storage includes lockable lockers rated for rods up to 7 feet 6 inches, while the rear deck incorporates dedicated tackle storage designed to keep boxes organized and protected. Beneath-deck storage offers additional capacity for gear and supplies.

The helm station is outfitted with a standard Lowrance fishfinder, full instrumentation, and straightforward switching for operational control. A custom-fitted trailer engineered specifically for the hull is included, designed to support repeated towing and launching without complication.
