2026 Nitro Z18

The Nitro Z18 is an 18-foot bay boat built on a fiberglass hull with a single 150 hp Mercury Marine gasoline engine. The NVT hull design provides stability in various water conditions, from calm shallows to choppy conditions. The boat handles well under power and maintains control when operating a trolling motor in shallow water.

The layout prioritizes fishing functionality throughout. Storage compartments are distributed along the deck with dry, lockable access. Seating features bolstered Z-CORE cushioning upholstered in marine-grade vinyl. A fully insulated cooler and aerated, recirculating live wells are integrated into the design.

Standard equipment includes Lowrance electronics, a Minn Kota trolling motor, and a custom GALVASHIELD IMPACT trailer. This combination of components supports both recreational and competitive fishing use.
