2026 Nitro Z18

The 2026 Nitro Z18 is an 18.67-foot fiberglass bay boat powered by a single 150 hp Mercury Marine engine. Built on Nitro's NVT hull design, the boat delivers stable handling in varied water conditions—from flat water to chop—and performs well under trolling motor in shallow water.

The Z18 is organized around fishing. Large, dry, lockable storage compartments are positioned throughout the boat for tackle and gear. Seating features bolstered Z-CORE cushions upholstered in marine-grade vinyl. The boat includes a fully insulated step cooler, timed and aerated live wells with recirculation, and standard Lowrance electronics paired with a Minn Kota trolling motor.

The boat comes equipped with a custom-matched Galvashield Impact trailer for transport. This is a new 2026 model.
