2024 Ranger Z519 Cup VS Non Cup

[@Jontfs300]

Why not a dual console Nice boat

[@mikethetoolman8776]

worst floor plan on any 19 footers made ---Ranger needs some serious updates to the layout-- my new 519c is terrible to store anything in. rod tubes suck and too hard to remove

What you mean not enough storage , rods ,tackle boxes, etc, I would like to know thanks

@@jpaul4788 rod box giant but has tubes that make it useless. the center box has tubes but is useless, the starboard box is too short and cannot carry a normal oar or a lure retriever pole either. if the tubes were just a big opening like the 520-521 it would be so much better. the starboard compartment needs to go way up under the frt deck also. live well is way too big and takes room from the rear storage area also. the cockpit area is oversized and my 5"9" self cannot reach the hot foot and barely the steering wheel. had to move the wheel back 3.5 inches and hotfoot about 3 to drive safely. it is just not planned out well. Look at a caracal for a great floor plan

@@mikethetoolman8776 that’s a bummer,you paid a lot $$$ , for that boat, I watched this video few times , I see what you talking about,I have my old 19’ foot 06 nitro that i really like the floor plan, 3 center compartments, all new boats have 1 compartment. In the center, I just looking at new boats 19-20 feet, thinking of buying new before I retire in 2027, I just want to make good choice,thanks for your feedback, a lot of people would not say that about something they purchased,& payed that much for $$$ ,
