2026 Nitro Z18 Pro

The 2026 Nitro Z18 Pro is an 18-foot fiberglass bay boat built around a single 150-horsepower Mercury Marine engine. The hull incorporates Nitro's Vortex Technology paired with the Rapid Planing System, engineered to deliver a smooth, soft, and dry ride with strong initial acceleration and responsive handling at speed.

The boat comes equipped with dual Garmin ECHOMAP units—one at the bow and one at the console—for navigation and fish-finding capability throughout the cockpit. A Minn Kota Ultrex trolling motor provides quiet, precise control while fishing. The helm and seating are finished with Nitro Z Core components, hand-assembled using premium materials for durability and comfort.

This is a fishing-focused design with the layout and features typical of a tournament bass boat, balancing accessible shallow-water capability with the power needed for open-water running.
