Touring the Ranger Aluminum Factory

[@shanecampbell2717]

I ordered a 198 around 30 days ago. Can’t wait to get it.

[@uscstaylor]

From another Ranger boat owner I thank you for such an outstanding product. I pick up my RT178 in 2 weeks and I am super excited to get in the water and do some Bass fishing.

[@thaddeuslogan4867]

You all prolly dont care at all but does anyone know of a way to get back into an Instagram account..? I was dumb lost my account password. I appreciate any assistance you can give me!

[@roningordon2955]

@Thaddeus Logan instablaster =)

[@thaddeuslogan4867]

@Ronin Gordon Thanks for your reply. I got to the site through google and Im in the hacking process now. Looks like it's gonna take quite some time so I will get back to you later when my account password hopefully is recovered.

[@thaddeuslogan4867]

@Ronin Gordon It worked and I now got access to my account again. I am so happy! Thanks so much you really help me out !

[@roningordon2955]

@Thaddeus Logan Happy to help :D

[@robertmceuen3630]

Being a union Ironworker for 40 years, and welding for many of those years, I appriciate a welded product. Rivets= possible leaks. Your boats look excellent from bow to transom.

[@MinTerGyi007]

Really a FIVE STAR boat factory ❤️💪😍

[@TeamMaroonAdventures]

You are my boat company. I`ve had tracker boats my whole life, just purchased my first Ranger. A RT 178 2018, pick it up today!

[@rogerglasco5941]

I have had my Ranger RT178 for 1 year now. It is a 2021. I love the boat but it leaks. I don't know where the water is coming in from but when I loud the boat onto the trailer and take out the rear pug: about 1 gallon of water comes out. The livewell is closed. I don't keep fish. I use it for storage. It is strange, I take off knowing it is dry down there but when I come in, all that water drains out. I got a leak somewhere but it is a mystery even tooday. 03/01/2022. Please help.

[@jgs988]

Just purchased a Ranger VS1660SC I am very excited to speed a lot time fishing in this boat.

[@kingvinz9119]

how much?

[@amargnwalkr]

That was a pretty good ter. Yessir, I enjoyed that ter.

[@daleclark5230]

Past owner of a 1992 396V Comanche......my gawd that boat was a Cadillac......stunning fit and finish.....GREAT boats

[@Paddy_Bros]

How can i get the keel extrusion?

[@kenandreianthony5319]

I like your technology to making aluminum boat, and your Idea how to avoid. To sinking the boat. With. Styro. Insert,, I am fisherman, god bless your company, Juancho B. Anthony,,,

[@fendert1384]

I was looking at one of these boats and wonder if QC has suffered since Bass Pro acquired Ranger in 2018.

[@Josephguestable]

When the RT188 can hold a 150 I will make a purchase. As of now, Xpress is the only company that has you beat.

[@karlp2560]

Hey guys, you make a very nice product, I'm an engineer and my question is this...you foam fill the hull which is excellent but what happens if you get a hole in the bottom with welding wouldn't the foam burn and set fire to the boat or is your foam non flammable type and if so what kind is it ? cheers!

[@MinTerGyi007]

Ohh very good question.u r really an engineer ❤️👍🏼💪😎

[@dreamfly555]

Unfortunately now the RT178's trailer is no longer c-channel steel but just like the tracker's easy-to-rust tube.

[@janjandraper9378]

trully nice boat... what a masterpiece of art.. i luv this boat design... btw new sub...

[@winstonrocco1981]

Got a 18 rt 188 no regrets it’s perfect .

[@gerlanaraujo4322]

Show de bola, lindos barcos, gostaria de ter a honrra de pilotar um desses espetaculo de barcos.

[@mikebaker1044]

I think you should consider sea deck in your boats way better than carpet

[@mrsensable]

Very informative vidio. Thanks

[@mattorschell275]

Doesn’t the foam in the bottom plug the drainage channels and keep the water from draining?

[@explorster]

It's water proof.

[@johnp5002]

Nice "product", Randy...

[@benskai2475akurfishing]

sempurna karya ciptanya

[@Biggy581]

Google any boat for weld problems and every manufacturer name will pop up where they have had issues. The question is does the company stand behind its products.

[@JM-zp7eo]

I thought I could never afford a ranger boat until I discovered they make aluminum boats. I would rather have an aluminum ranger than a fiberglass bass boat.

[@Harlanmote]

If you like the tin one you will love the fiberglass ones.

[@ebrahimshokrian9508]

your prudacted is the best thank you so macth

[@kodymackie6808]

I love how all these people love these boats and about all the quality, and my 2015 Rt188 has been nothing but a nightmare, it fishes great, Merc is awesome, everything but the hull, I’ve had two cracks on my transom sent it back and they fixed it, but 2 months later there’s a 12” crack along one of the welds on my keel on the bottom of my boat, so, gotta send it back and be without a boat, not impressed, and tired of paying a monthly payment for a boat I can’t use.!

[@terryogletree2128]

Look at how Gator Trax boats are made

[@d-op1502]

How come a lot of the tracker and ranger boats are identical? Tracker is known for being a cheap and lower quality build?

[@d-op1502]

@Walleyeguy513 don't worry I bought a seaark instead. Built like a tank.

[@charlesclayton7815]

Shows how little you truly know when you say a tracker and ranger are identical...wow 🤣😂

[@jayknight5472]

I used to work at a machine design and manufacturing plant and one of the machines was a packaging machine for rubber gloves another was for condoms. All of the condoms and gloves were made in the plant and shipped over for packaging in 55 gallon drums. They were then packaged in the “sellers” wrapping. Long story short, sheik, Trojan, generic freebies you get from the clinic are all the same PERIOD A Chevy, a GMC, and a Cadillac all are the same except for the finish’s after base construction. A Tracker Targa and a Ranger deep V are the same hull with different finishes after being built. They are both sold by the same company white water marine. A Tracker is the Chevy, the Ranger is the Cadillac. The hulls are the same, look at them closely for yourself

[@rogerglasco5941]

Your plant really screwed up when you made my new 2021 Ranger RT178. My dealer was shocked. All repairs have been made but I don't believe the logo "we build them one at a time".

[@Fishboy68]

White river is building them now,and still using the ranger name.

[@James-iq9rq]

the clear coats wears off before you get the boat paid off, clear coat starts peeling off .

[@drdoutdoors1603]

Why not use humminbird and minnkota as standard on the boats?

[@Nadir322]

👍👍👍

[@takayama1638]

Does the foam get wet? If so, no thanks. Is storage 100% dry? It should be... I watch...

[@JS-rp7qb]

It’s closed cell foam. All marine foams are these days. They should never “get wet” as they don’t really absorb anything beyond about 1.2% of their own weight.

[@Resistculturaldecline]

Oh, the foam will most certainly absorb water despite it's description. Beyond any doubt.

[@explorster]

It's water proof.

[@TheMcChesneys]

fiberglass console is cost savings measure. its the same as in the glass boats. It also looks silly on the aluminum boats. the extrusion weld on the keel and gunnel is a weak seem compared to any other quality manufacture. Just go around to any boat show and talk to the dealers.

[@harryassenback2860]

Frank Mcchesney I just bought a rt188 today. One of the best boats on the water. I did talk to dealers, about 10 and none said ranger was bad. They said there were other good brands not only ranger. Ranger is solid as hell with great customer service and great boats.

[@terryogletree2128]

@@harryassenback2860 you didn't talk to the guys at Gator Trax

[@CarlKahler]

Ranger boats are NOT cheap in fact probably the most expensive ones on the market.

[@specialized29er86]

Yes expensive but the best and the safest. I'll never buy any other boats.

[@terryogletree2128]

Gator Trax beats Ranger on their worst day

[@kzdoezit7410]

Too bad now Ranger aluminums are all built in Tracker manufacturer in Lebanon. Also trailers are manufactured in EZ loader

[@terryogletree2128]

Go design your own boat with Gator Trax , you'll be glad you did

[@petascalecomputing]

There are only two types of boats. The ones that sink when they get a hole in it, and those that don't.

[@كريمالمعماري-ت8ط]

Good morning my friend I like this boat I want to buy a boat 14 aluminum but I have a problem I do not know where to buy I want to help me send me the link or the site what Hua prices and many thanks

[@BassAmateur99]

WOW ,, that looks just like a Crestliner .. LOL !

[@bestamerica]

' how about strong thick alloy aluminum on the boat... no wonder why men uses caps on the heads

[@1bigleague]

Oh boy, a foam injected jon boat. Don't get any salt water in there..........I'll never get it, if your gonna build it with any substantial deck structure, build it 21' so your subject to the USCG. Build the substucture as to generate air/water tight voids. Then you have a BOAT instead of a time bomb.

[@TheShotSeeker]

An almost identical process to Xpress boats 🤣🤦‍♂️

[@johnwest2396]

Gorified Tracker Boat....

[@flyfliker]

if welds were better than rivets then airplane structures would be welded - not!

[@chucktaylor7384]

“Duh, we do good. Very quality welds. Me make boat.” Wow! That was the worst welding I’ve ever seen in any shop. Ever! That’s horrendous! I work in the truck tanker industry welding aluminum and that boat wouldn’t pass a piss test in my world. Damn that was awful! Here’s a tip for you. If you start a weld. Finish it. Don’t start and stop. That’s called a tack weld and your boats are all tack welded. Garbage welding at its finest. 🤮

[@sebastian8879]

rinky dinky hulls on these boats. if it wernt for all the bends that think woukd flop around. super thin

[@James-iq9rq]

ranger boats are overpriced and cheaply made !

[@drjaywhitlock]

Look how flimsly! Recycled beer cans made into a boat. And even worse now that they are made by Johnny Morris and his cheap Tracker boats. Gator Trax if you want an aluminum boat.

[@daleolson3506]

Music junked another video👎🏻👎🏻💩

[@terryogletree2128]

It looks like all break metal not extruded in the bracing struts

[@TheShotSeeker]

An almost identical process to Xpress boats 🤣🤦‍♂️
