Research 2015 - Nitro Boats - ZV 18

Are you ready for some walleye?

Then check out the all NEW NITRO ZV 18 multi-species boat! A slightly downsized version of our lauded ZV 21, this master of the big northern waters features input from the world's leading walleye anglers.

The aggressive, hand-laid Deep V hull slices through the chop on big lakes with a smooth agility, and the 8' 4" beam and massive yet nimble 18'11" length provides the stability for four anglers to move around the deck in comfort.

The interior sports a raft of features that will please the pike, muskie, or walleye angler, including a huge 26-gallon livewell and a 5.5-gallon bow baitwell. A patent-pending integrated port net holder keeps your all-important net close at hand, and ample storage throughout the boat holds more gear than you can imagine.

The new ZV-18 comes standard with a Mercury 150HP XL FourStroke outboard—and will support up to a 200HP motor if you have a need for speed. The full-width fiberglass-encapsulated composite transom is also designed to support a kicker motor.

All things considered, the ZV 18 is the perfect walleye-hunting machine.
