I have a 2020 Ranger and couldn't be happier, I've owned several bass boats over the years Procraft, Stratus, Triton, Skeeter and Rangers quality is 2nd to none, I'm truly impressed every time I take it out on the water it's truly the cadillac of bass boats

[@Bubbles99718]

Funny watching this about the storage. Growing up my Dad had a Ranger that in HS he would let me take out. I would take EVERYTHING out of the storage to reduce weight. Picked up almost 5mph on the top end by doing that. Quite the chore but worth it. Hung out with friends and water skied. Great times

[@BoatTEST]

Beautiful story. Thanks for sharing.

[@CJStammFishing]

I’ve been looking at getting one of these for so long thank you for making this video

[@peterheinrichs7634]

[@gerhardvanwaltsleben8944]

Lekker man lekker

[@bryanpayne2354]

I'd like to see how it does with a 300hp on the back of it. I'm looking to buy one these in the near future.

[@rawblow4512]

Me too! But can you use a 300hp in local tournaments? I think the max HP in pro tournaments is the 250hp?

[@bryanpayne2354]

Yes I see these bullet boats with 300's on them so I guess so. I don't fish the tournaments anyway.

[@lucasfriedenberg8169]

$75,000 boat and doesnt come with an Ultrex... thats ridiculous

[@SSS51706]

But you get giant gunnels for free!!! Definitely not the Forest Wood Ranger.

[@darthkek1953]

67mph with a 250 engine. Rated for 300. Crikey blimey!

[@gregmsnow]

Skeeter with 250 will push 75

[@Jay_Wood]

They don’t chine walk because they aren’t fast enough lol.

[@120Livi]

What's the purpose of the tiny motor on the bow?

[@Xelbiuj]

Trolling motor, small electric motor for small movements while fishing, you can fish in 1 spot or move around a bit without making a bunch of noise like a gasoline engine or without having to use an anchor, which again, makes noise but also slows you down if you want to move from fishing spot to fishing spot.

[@peterheinrichs7634]

for anchoring on spot via gps, finesse autopiloted mini movementswhile fishing - per app, by foot controlled buttons or programming the sonar. All silenced by using an electrical motor. This device will follow the structures of the ground of a lake on demand, keeping you fully automated at the right spots for fishing. :-)

[@Bubbles99718]

Growing up my Dad had Bass boats. I don't fish but since I've had 2 boats. Put a trolling motor on each. The convenience factor is huge

[@gerhardvanwaltsleben8944]

Lekker man lekker

[@rawblow4512]

Peter Heinrichs wow you can program the movements on your graphs like the hummingbird or lowrance?

[@f550lover]

Is is over 20ft long. It shouldn’t have recommended MAX horsepower by manufacture. Just shows how weak there transom is

[@chunkybuttz844]

great point

[@rickvann3489]

Stupid comment. Tournament or most high end Tournament don't allow over 250HP for safety reasons

[@nicktheserviceplumber3192]

Doesn’t even come with any rods SMH

[@epsmith19]

These do nothing for me
