2026 Nitro Z21 XL

The Nitro Z21 XL is a 21-foot bay boat built on fiberglass with a single 250 hp Mercury Marine engine. The hull incorporates NVT™ technology designed for quick planing, responsive handling, and sustained performance even when fully loaded with fuel, tackle, and passengers.

The boat prioritizes fishing functionality throughout its layout. The bow features an extra-wide platform with padded decking and enhanced stability for trolling motor work. Amidships, large center storage compartments keep rods and tackle organized and quickly accessible. The cockpit floor is finished in EVA foam non-skid material. The helm station accommodates electronics up to 16 inches, includes a full gauge set, and is outfitted with a Z-TOUCH™ touchscreen control center. Storage uses new slam latch hardware rather than twist latches.

Seating incorporates Z-CORE™ suspension design with side bolsters to manage choppy water and maintain rider position during aggressive maneuvering. The boat's proportions—21.17 feet long with a 7.92-foot beam—provide the working space and stability expected in tournament conditions.
