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 planing and stable, predictable handling at speed, while the 7.5-foot beam provides room for multiple anglers and good stability across varying conditions.

The cockpit centers around a helm equipped with a Lowrance fishfinder, full gauge set, and reliable switching. Rod storage includes lockable lockers along the rails rated for rods up to 7'6", while dedicated tackle stowage on the rear deck keeps boxes organized and accessible. The hull's deck layout offers substantial storage throughout, keeping gear dry and out of the way.

The boat comes with a custom-fitted trailer matched to the hull. The FourStroke outboard provides economical operation alongside responsive throttle response, making this a straightforward, capable platform for shallow-water fishing.
