The 2027 NITRO® Z17 delivers big-bass-boat performance in a nimble, budget-friendly package that's easy to tow, store, and own. Powered by a Mercury® FourStroke outboard, the Z17 jumps on plane quickly thanks to the proven NITRO® NVT™ hull, providing responsive acceleration and confident handling. A wide beam creates a stable fishing platform with room for multiple anglers and abundant storage throughout. Lockable rod lockers accommodate rods up to 7'6", while rear tackle storage keeps gear organized and within reach. At the helm, a standard Lowrance® fishfinder, full instrumentation, and intuitive controls help keep every outing simple and productive. A custom-matched trailer ensures dependable transport season after season. Loaded with features, performance, and value, the 2027 Z17 is built to help anglers fish harder without stretching the budget.
