Z18

The NITRO Z18 is an 18-foot bass boat with a fiberglass hull, offering speed, stability, and tournament-ready features for dedicated anglers.

Check out the Nitro Z18 Bass boat available from Town & Country Marine, authorized dealer for NITRO in Ontario – only 1.5 hours from the GTA. The NITRO® Z18 is more than America’s favorite bass boat, it’s also the official boat of Major League Fishing®. Boasting the perfect blend of exhilarating performance, pro-level fishability, and superior quality, the Z18 is ideal for both weekend warriors and serious anglers.

A 175HP rating delivers searing performance at speed, while the NITRO® NVT™ hull keeps things steady and smooth. On the trolling motor, the Z18 is a stealthy predator in the shallows with edge-to-edge stability that excels in chop and rollers.

Inside, the Z18 is angler-designed and proven at the highest levels. Storages are huge, dry, lockable, and convenient, while comfort comes by way of bolstered Z-CORE™ seating covered in premium marine-grade vinyl. A fully insulated step cooler keeps drinks cold all day, while the timed, aerated, and recirculating live wells keep your catch frisky from dawn to weigh in.

Standard Lowrance® electronics and Minn Kota® trolling motor get you in the game, while the custom-matched GALVASHIELD IMPACT™ trailer gets you there safely, year after year. The NITRO® Z18 delivers unsurpassed performance, value, and fishability in a package that’s ready to fish at any level of competition.
