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 NVT hull design is engineered for quick planing and acceleration with stable, predictable handling at speed. The 7.5-foot beam provides a wide platform suited to multiple anglers, offering solid stability across varying water conditions.

The boat prioritizes fishing practicality throughout its layout. Lockable rod lockers accommodate rods up to 7 feet 6 inches, while dedicated tackle storage in the rear deck keeps gear organized and protected. The helm station is outfitted with a Lowrance fishfinder as standard equipment, a full gauge cluster, and reliable switch controls. Additional under-deck storage provides ample room for gear and supplies.

A custom-fitted trailer engineered specifically for this hull is included. The boat is designed for easy trailering and storage, with economical fuel consumption and low ownership demands. The combination of capable power, open fishing layout, and practical storage makes this boat well-suited to both day trips and extended outings on protected waters.
