Nitro Z17: BoatTEST Review

Reviewed by Jeff Hammond

Overview

The Nitro Z17 is a newly introduced fiberglass bass boat designed as an entry-level model that caters to both first-time buyers seeking a fully equipped turnkey package and experienced anglers who prefer a boat ready for immediate use without additional outfitting. Measuring 17 feet 4 inches in length with a 7 foot 6 inch beam, the Z17 offers a comprehensive standard equipment list that emphasizes functionality and convenience.

Exterior Design and Deck Layout

The Z17 features a spacious forward casting deck providing 32 square feet of fishing space, all covered with durable 16-ounce marine grade carpet. The bow freeboard measures 1 foot 6 inches, and the deck includes a Minn Kota Edge trolling motor with a recessed foot pedal positioned ahead of a movable pedestal-mounted fishing seat. The bow panel accommodates an optional fish finder and outboard trim switches. Mini LED navigation lights and recessed, inboard-angled cleats reduce the risk of snagging fishing lines, while a forward switch controls the navigation lights. Rod security is enhanced by bungee cords on either side of the movable seat. Storage is ample with three locking hatches in the forward deck; the port and starboard lockers offer open space, and the center compartment features rod racks for rods up to 7 feet 6 inches. The fire extinguisher is conveniently located in the starboard locker.

Cockpit and Helm Features

Transitioning aft, the cockpit includes a 62-quart insulated cooler integrated into the step down from the bow casting deck, with a total step width of 25 inches. The cockpit interior spans 6 feet across and seats three, with an optional removable center seat. Hinged bottom cushions provide access to storage beneath the outboard seats, which drain into the bilge. A popular option is the port console, easily installed with thumb screws, offering a glove box and weather protection for the port seat occupant. Rod storage is facilitated by a carpeted ramp adjacent to the port bucket seat. The helm to starboard is equipped with multifunction V3 gauges, a Lowrance fish finder, and a windscreen that provides sufficient protection at speed. Controls include switches for livewell fill and aeration, a master power switch for 12-volt systems, and a dimmer for dash lights to prevent glare during night operation. The throttle and shift lever is mounted on the starboard gunwale above a rubber-lined storage tray and near a cup holder.

Aft Fishing Deck and Storage

The aft fishing deck offers 19.5 square feet of angling space with a stern freeboard of 1 foot 3 inches. The deck demonstrated a 3-inch deflection under load. A portable fold-down pedestal seat provides comfort for extended fishing sessions. Twin hatches above the center cockpit seat open to a 23-gallon Guardian livewell featuring a removable divider, rounded corners, blue paint to calm fish, an aeration system, and a timer. Locking hatches on each side reveal storage compartments containing removable tubs with slots for up to seven Plano tackle boxes. The centrally located locker ahead of the motor well houses the batteries and a standard Genius two-bank charger. A reboarding ladder is clipped in the aft port corner for easy deployment in emergencies.

Power and Performance

The test boat was powered by a Mercury 115 Pro XS 4-stroke outboard engine with a 2.07:1 gear ratio, turning a 12.7-inch by 19-inch Spitfire 4-blade stainless steel propeller. With 12 gallons of fuel and test equipment aboard, the boat weighed approximately 2,317 pounds. The Z17's hull incorporates Nitro Vortex technology and the Rapid Planing System, which improve fuel efficiency and stability. The boat planed in 3.7 seconds, reached 20 mph in 6.2 seconds, and 30 mph in 9.3 seconds. At 6,000 rpm, it achieved a top speed of 51.3 mph. The optimal cruising speed was 20.6 mph at 3,000 rpm, with a fuel consumption of 2.8 gallons per hour, yielding 7.5 miles per gallon and an estimated range of 162 statute miles with a 10% fuel reserve. Maneuverability was excellent, with the boat holding its line through tight turns and responding quickly and cleanly to directional changes. It handled lake chop well, showing no tendency to chine walk.

Conclusion

The Nitro Z17 presents a well-equipped, stable, and efficient bass boat option suitable for both novice and veteran anglers. Its thoughtful design, comprehensive standard features, and strong performance metrics make it a compelling turnkey package. The boat's combination of ample fishing space, convenient storage, and reliable handling on the water positions it as a valuable offering in the entry-level fiberglass bass boat market.
