2026 Nitro Z18 Pro

The 2026 Nitro Z18 Pro is an 18-foot bass fishing boat powered by a Mercury 175 ProXS four-stroke engine. Built around the NITRO VORTEX TECHNOLOGY hull for a smooth, dry ride, the boat features a RAPID PLANING SYSTEM for quick acceleration and a 100% composite deck core bonded and mechanically fastened with stainless steel. The hull is foam-filled for buoyancy and safety, with a factory-applied keel protector and stainless steel propeller.

The boat is outfitted with a 30-gallon GUARDIAN livewell with divider, timer, and dual 500 GPH pump systems for aeration and recirculation. A new Minn Kota Ultrex 24V trolling motor with 80-pound thrust and Dual Spectrum CHIRP integrates via NMEA network with fishfinding equipment. The console features tilt hydraulic steering, water-resistant switch panels, a dash light dimmer, and a RAM phone holder. Twin Garmin 73UHD2 units are flush-mounted to the dash and bow, with LiveScope capability on one.

The deck spans 34 square feet of casting space and includes low-profile gunnels, new black non-skid bow and stern mats, a bike seat with pedestal, and a folding fishing seat. The driver and passenger areas have low flat seat mounting. Additional storage includes a center locker, port drawer, and snap-in sandwich tray. A 6-inch jack plate, anti-fatigue mat, hot foot, trim lever, and driver-side cleat complete the cockpit setup.

Electrical systems include an Interstate cranking battery, two heavy-duty Interstate trolling batteries, and a 3-bank 30-amp onboard charger. The boat comes with a tandem-axle trailer featuring a galvanized welded frame, 14-inch chrome wheels with radial tires, spare tire, hub system with one-year warranty, and 7-pin connector.
