There's absolutely nothing entry level about the NITRO Z-7. Instead, this midsize bass boat sports 18' 8" (5.69 m) of pure tournament fishing performance.

To start, it's crafted with the ingenius Rapid Planing System transom for extreme shallow-water performance, faster planing and higher top-end speeds. This system is perfectly integrated with the already famous NITRO hull design to provide unheard-of maneuverability and handling in some of the roughest conditions.

Inside, the Z-7 is just as impressive with huge amounts of casting space, as well as storage for rods up to 8' (2.44 m) long. There's also a powerful foot-controlled trolling motor, Lowrance 480x480-pixel fishfinder (with surface temperature) and even molded storage boxes with tackle tray holders!
