2025 Nitro Z18 Pro

The NITRO® Z18 Pro takes the tournament-ready features of the acclaimed Z18 to the next level, offering an impressive array of upgrades that deliver exceptional value. As America’s best-selling fiberglass bass boat and the official vessel of Major League Fishing®, the Z18 Pro perfectly balances power and fishability, making it a true contender on the water.

At the heart of this remarkable boat is the revolutionary NITRO VORTEX TECHNOLOGY™ (NVT™) hull, paired with the RAPID PLANING SYSTEM™. This combination ensures a smooth, soft, and dry ride, that provides a brisk holeshot and precise handling in corners and at top speed.

The NITRO® Z18 Pro comes factory equipped with the latest Garmin ECHOMAP technology at both the bow and console, giving you pro-level fish-finding and GPS capability. Plus, a Minn Kota® Ultrex trolling motor gives you effortless control and pinpoint accuracy while you fish. In the cockpit, NITRO® Z CORE seating is built by hand with premium materials for maximum comfort, supports and long-lasting good looks.

The NITRO® Z18 Pro is more than just a bassin’ rig; it’s a winning package that’s ready to elevate your fishing game.
