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’.
