My New Ranger has it All!

[@GlennDunn-o4p]

I've been watching Jimmy since 78 or 79 he is the reason I go to Cuba bass fishing every 2 or 3 years anyone else remember that episode Jimmy caught a 13 pounder on top water

[@jimmyhoustonoutdoorsfishing]

I promise I remember it. Thanks. Have a great Easter. May God Bless. jimmy

[@raymster8450]

Mr. Jimmy, Have mercy! Fantastic boat, thanks for the tour. 😊

[@MarshallLanier-oi1mk]

Asking the Father's continued blessings on you and Chris, my friend. So many folks offer sincere well wishes for her continued recovery, but my friend, nobody truly understands the situation like someone else who is going down the same path. Continued prayers through Christ.

[@jimmyhoustonoutdoorsfishing]

Thanks so very much, Marshall. You are so very corey. I appreciate you. May God Bless. jimmy

[@jefffarmer-bz8ff]

Hello Jimmy so happy you're still making videos

[@jimmyhoustonoutdoorsfishing]

Thanks, Jeff still making vids and doing television. Don’t know how to quit. Too much fun. May God Bless. jimmy

If I had a boat like that Jimmy. I’d never come home lol. Great looking boat Jimmy ❤️. You get nice Christmas gifts

[@jimmyhoustonoutdoorsfishing]

I have that problem, Patriot. Hard for me to quit. Especially now, when I don’t get to go as often. Thanks. May God Bless. jimmy

[@jakekeller1984]

You sure got yourself a nice one there Jimmy. Very well deserved. Johnny should keep them boats coming every year for yourself and Roland. Legends!!!

[@jimmyhoustonoutdoorsfishing]

We live those boats. No doubt about that. Thanks. May God Bless. jimmy

[@brandonwoodcock4374]

Beautiful boat. One of these days ill take out a 2nd mortgage and buy me a new ranger. Till then i have to stick with my 2007 stratos 294xl 😢☹️. Its absolutely ridiculous the cost of these new bass boats. Just 5 years ago they was nearly half the price they are now

[@jimmyhoustonoutdoorsfishing]

You are so right, Brandon. And just two years ago gas was 1.99 a gallon in Dallas and 2.09 here in Oklahoma. Now it’s 3:30 and that’s a dollar less than it was a year ago. Wasn’t very long ago, two folks could eat at Burger King or Sonic for 10-12 bucks. Now it’s over $20. It’s all pretty sad. Thanks. May God Bless. jimmy

Now that’s a boat! I can remember when fish locators first became available and when a trolling motor was a wish list item. Man have things changed 😂 Beautiful boat! Thanks for the tour and explanation of the enhancements that help today’s pros 👍👏😎🥰

[@jimmyhoustonoutdoorsfishing]

They are an amazing piece of technology nowadays. Very blessed to be able to fish from that Ranger. Thanks. May God Bless. jimmy

[@MarshallLanier-oi1mk]

My first old Ouachita boat had a Humminbird Super Sixty flasher on it and a 40 horse Johnson with stick steer That was in 1977 and I thought I had died and gone to Heaven. Yessir, things have definitely changed.

[@perrydodson9029]

Very very nice boat! Wish I could afford one. Did you sell your old boat yet? Ranger boats have always been the standard by which all other boats are judged. God bless you and your whole family and continued prayers for Chris.

[@jimmyhoustonoutdoorsfishing]

We still have the other boat available as of today. It’s about $30,000 below dealer price. Thanks. May God Bless. jimmy

43:39 Hello Jeremy this is Fred I know you commented up before on the boat that I was talking about that I have not kept it up to Will it’s a Ranger boat and I lost your message to me I’m really interested in trying to get my boat all cleaned up and going again it’s got a 150 Yamaha it’s a 390 C and it’s been a real good boat for me I watch a lot of your shows and I love them and back in 91 you’re the one that got me into fishing and interested in the Ranger boat I went down to Missouri to boat to boat sport USA and picked up my boat and I’ve enjoyed it for a lot of years and when it was too appointed I couldn’t travel for a while I ended up letting it sit and now I’d like to get it back going again love to hear your voice reply thank you 44:25

[@jimmyhoustonoutdoorsfishing]

I did, Fred. Ranger will refurbish that boat and it will look like brand new. They will maybe the original seats and carpet and redo all the gelcoat. I have an old Nascar edition Ranger, they refurbished for me. Looks like a new boat. Just give Ranger a call there in Flippin, Arkansas and they can help you. Thanks. May God Bless. jimmy

[@fredtoombs278]

Jimmy this means a lot to me that you replied and gave me this information I knew that when it came to Ranger boats you would guide me in the right direction I too believe in God God Bless You Too!

[@ashleem1387]

Yeah I know I must be nice be able to afford a boat like that All I can afford for myself as a kayak so I can go fishing by myself sometimes our friend will come along with another kayak and we'll go together

Yeah. I bet 😀

Your awesome jimmy enjoy the new boat hope Chris is doing well god bless both of you

Giving to you

[@lindaSee89]

Jimmy question- do you winterize the boat in your area? Look at your TP🤣. Enjoyed your tour Jimmy.

[@jimmyhoustonoutdoorsfishing]

We do winterize em, but we use our boats thru the winter as well. Our boat store does a big business winterizing boats. Many don’t use em’ much after Labor Day. Particularly runabouts. Thanks. May God Bless. jimmy

[@floydmayes4924]

For the price it had better do everything! For a hundred thousand dollars, I would have to live in it!!!

[@jimmyhoustonoutdoorsfishing]

Lol. I’d sure like to live in it Definitely would like to use it every day. Thanks. May God Bless. jimmy

[@johnnychason4472]

I owned a Ranger 361v. It was a nice Safe, boat but it was so heavy that it tore up 5 different motors. therefore i will never own another Ranger boat. I own an Allison craft now and i can pick the boat up with 1 hand and put it on the trailer hitch.

[@CrispyStrahan]

I Finally got me a 93sv. I am going to get a 73sv for my console then I can finally get me a Livescope transducer. By the time I do that I will have as much into Electronics as I do the boat. I would think you would run one LVS transducer in perspective and run one on the forward view. Have you tried this?

[@jimmyhoustonoutdoorsfishing]

I’m just not fond of the perspective mode. It shows a wide angle but just jot much of what I’m looking for. You’re gonna love your setup. Thanks. May God Bless. jimmy

[@johnnychason4472]

250 is a baby motor now. they make 300r, 450r, 500r and 600r mercury now.

[@calebsmith4567]

Jimmy holler at me. Im free anytime for you. 😂 i dont know you personally but hey we both love bass fishing

[@johnnychason4472]

beauty is in the eye of the beholder they say. if i had your money i would have a new allison craft with the new electric steer 600r mercury and it would run around 140mph and be fully rigged.

[@jimmyhoustonoutdoorsfishing]

Lol. I’d be afraid to drive it. I’ve gone 90 Mph in a bass boat and that’s way too fast. Thanks. Godspeed. jimmy

[@coryblanchette8369]

Jimmy question if you don't mind me asking. I noticed you Garmin products, is there a reason for that. Are Garmin products user friendly compared to other products such as Hummingbird. It seems like now days you have to have some try of schooling to know how to use some of these fish finders.

[@jimmyhoustonoutdoorsfishing]

Garmin is user maybe the most user friendly, Cory, but, yes, there is a lot to running them. You can set em in auto and they work pretty well. But to really get the great benefits from todays units does take some knowledge and work. Fish Finders are like any of the tools or lures we have in fishing. The more skill and knowledge we develop with each, the more fish we catch!! Thanks. May God Bless. jimmy

[@charlesoverton]

If you have spot lock on the front why do you need power pole on the back of the boat? Sounds like over kill.

[@jimmyhoustonoutdoorsfishing]

For shallow water, Charles. Don’t want spot lock in shallow water. The trolling motor constantly moving in one spot will often spook the fish. Thanks. Merry Christmas. jimmy

[@johnwest2396]

It is a very nice boat however the Rangers are not of the same quality they were before they sold to I believe White Marine which also makes tracker and Nitro and Triton along with Ranger. I personal know people who've gotten Rangers recently and the quality is just not there. To spend that kind of money go with the independent boat manufacturer

[@jimmyhoustonoutdoorsfishing]

I believe they are better than ever, John. Just look at all the improvements on this boat from my Ranger last year. White River Marine does build all those boats as well as Mako and Hatteras. They have owned Ranger for 8 years now and the boats just keep getting better. Thanks. May God Bless. jimmy

[@scottp7587]

technology has come a long way sense you first started.

[@jimmyhoustonoutdoorsfishing]

My first bass boat wasn’t even called a bass boat, Scott. It was a 14 foot V-bottom aluminum with a 20 HP Mercury. I put wooden slats on the floor to make it level to stand on and used a block of wood up front to mount a transom mount Silvertroll trolling motor. Eventually hooked up that 12 volt motor to 24 volts. Had it made in the shade, Scott. Uptown for sure. Thanks. May God Bless. jimmy

All you are buying is a name .....Jimmy blows his own horn alot.. 😅

[@jimmyhoustonoutdoorsfishing]

Ranger is a good name, Greg, you are so right. But that’s an awful lot of great quality bass boat and equipment there. The lesser brands are pretty close in price when you put the same equipment on em’! Fish Finders, Trolling Motors, Batteries, Lights, Turrets, Power Pole Blades, HydroWave, Jack Plates. Those all cost the same regardless of what boat you put them on. Our government induced inflation is $20-30,000 of that. Thanks so much. May God Bless. jimmy

[@gregstaton128]

You must be going back on tour, that the only reason you need a boat like that.....that is overkill if you only fish a few days a week....Jimmy is a walking , talking salesman....everything is a commercial....of course he could not compete with today professional anglers

[@jimmyhoustonoutdoorsfishing]

You sure got that right, Greg. It would take me two or three months of hard workouts to get in shape to compete again. I quit after the 2019 year because they changed the rules where Chris couldn’t fish the practice days with me! Did win $53,000 that last year which wasn’t too bad without winning a tournament! Just several $4-10,000 checks. I would have dropped out anyway when Chris had that stroke. Spending a lot of time taking care of her. Sure would be nice to fish more. I do like to talk about great products. Really like to hear about em’ as well. Have a super weekend and catch a bunch. May God Bless. jimmy

How does the spot lock you down on your trolling motor? I’ve heard many people talk about it but I never seen it demonstrated and I would like to know how that works Jimmy.

[@jimmyhoustonoutdoorsfishing]

It has a GPS in it, Troy, so the trolling locks onto that gps spot and move’s automatically however it needs to keep the boat on that spot! Great technology. Basically, a deep water anchor. Thanks. MY God Bless. jimmy
