NITRO Z-7

The NITRO Z-7 sports a restyled hull and deck on its 18-foot, 7-inch frame.  Considered a mid-sized ass boat, it sports a patent-pending Rapid Planing System to provide speed, stability and ruggedness.

Fishing amenities include a MotorGuide 24-volt, 70-pound thrust trolling motor, a low-profile hull design for easy flipping, a Lowrance X96 TX fish finder and a Mercury outboard motor.  Creature features include three-across seating, an optional removable dual console, easy-to-read instrumentation, a tinted windscreen and a fold-down reboarding ladder.

The custom-matched trailer has GalvaShield corrosion protection, a swing-away tongue and EZ lube hubs.  Total weight is about 3,000 pounds.  The manufacturer’s suggested retail price in the US is $27,995 with a 150-hoursepower Mercury OptiMax outboard and trailer.  See it at www.nitro.com.
