Overview

The nimble NITRO® Z17 is a fiberglass bass boat that’s easy to fish, easy to tow and priced just right for first-time owners and amateur tournament competitors. It shares many of the features of the larger Z Series boats, including our revolutionary NVT™ hull, an insulated cooler, lockable rod storage, tackle storage and custom seating.

The deck is optimized for tournament angling with a lockable center rod organizer for rods up to 7’ 6”, as well as 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 to keep your fish healthy all the way to the weigh-in.
