2020 Nitro Z17

The quick and compact NITRO® Z17 is a fiberglass bass boat that’s easy to fish, easy to store and sized just right for the young angler or amateur tourney competitor. It shares many of the features of the larger Z Series boats, including our revolutionary NVT™ hull, a large, heavily insulated cooler, lockable rod storage, roomy tackle storage and custom seating built in-house.

The deck is optimized for tournament angling, with a lockable center rod organizer for rod sup to 7’ 6”, plus carpeted, lockable port and starboard storage boxes for tackle and rods up to 7’. Plus, a massive 23-gallon NITRO-exclusive Guardian™ aerated, divided and timed livewell keeps your fish peppy all the way to the weigh-in.
