2000 ranger 520vx or 2002 ranger 195vs
I have been looking for a boat and have decided on one of these two. The 520 is $2000 more than the 195vs. Does anyone have any recomendations as I will be fishing mostly bigger lakes in Texas. The 520vx has a 225 yamaha and has been used much more than the 195vs with a 200 Merc EFI. Both are in good shape but the 195 is better mostly due to less use.

I haved a 2004 195 vs. Great boat for small and medium waters. Big water and big waves another story. My boat can easily get airborne. And, it ain't a good thing catching air. It hurts bigtime. Also, I have a yami 200 hp hpdi. Never a problem. I run in water temps from the mid 30's to 80 degrees. It floats very well in skinny water too
