2026 Nitro Z17

The 2026 Nitro Z17 is a 17-foot bay boat built on a fiberglass hull powered by a single 115 hp Mercury FourStroke outboard. The NVT hull design delivers quick planing and stable handling, while the 7.5-foot beam provides room for multiple anglers and maintains stability across varying water conditions.

Storage and tackle organization are central to the layout. Rod lockers accommodate rods up to 7 feet 6 inches, with dedicated tackle storage in the rear deck designed to keep gear organized and accessible. The helm includes a Lowrance Elite FS 7 fishfinder at both bow and console, full instrumentation, and Mercury SmartCraft EL187 color gauging.

Equipment includes dual bilge pumps (one standard, one automatic), a 70-pound thrust MinnKota Maxum trolling motor with 24-volt power and 24-inch shaft, boat cover, and keel guard. Two oxygen generators are installed. The boat rides on a custom-fitted aluminum trailer with 13-inch wheels and a spare.
