Wtl i have no idea what you are smoking, but if you want a fast, stable, and dependeble boat and one that WONT give you a wet and noisy ride, then buy a RANGER

bassintom · 07-23-06, 10:55 PM

ike,how many rangers have you owned already?

You hit the advantages of a Ranger but maybe should have left out the "FAST" part.

WTL · 07-24-06, 02:38 PM

Ike, if I were in a skeeter, and you in a ranger, I'd be smoking you...

yall are a bunch of spoilt babies. Ain't nothing has more power, more leg room, more stability, more storage, easier to work on, more manueverable than my 9 foot jon boat with one paddle. nevermind the fact that 8 inch waves will crash over the bow of the boat causing it to quickly fill with water.

Rob thats what I find so innately entertaining about this thread - I drive a 1963 model sears with a 25 horse Mariner.

ahhh you're a pansy too, motors are for people too pansy to paddle

actually I think I'm gonna start a guide service just so I have a couple helpers to paddle me around the lake

ok, ok, all joking aside, just goes to show a 30k boat isn't needed to catch fish.

WIbassfisherman · 07-25-06, 02:02 AM

I like my Champion but I still drool at the sight of those Rangers. Wish my Deck was a bit wider, but performance and handling wise I love my ride.

Ridden in a Triton and wasn't impressed. Skeeters feel small to me Rangers feel heavy but smooth Nitros...ick.

Can't argue with that but they sure are fun and much more enjoyable to fish out of.

I caught just as many fish in my jon boat and my 15ft. Lund as I do now. What I do like is the sturdy deck to cast from and until you have storage you will not know how you made it without it. I had a Nitro before my Ranger and I thought it was a good boat. Not as well constructed as my Ranger but handled well and fished nice.

I was out on the lake yesterday and the wind was howling pretty good. Some of the smaller boats couldn't deal with the whitecaps and had to come in or hit the bays. My heavy Ranger did just fine.

kylebassin46lb · 09-08-06, 08:06 PM

I have a 06 TR20x with a 225xs. this boat is fast, and smooth. those who say tritons are the worst ride, must never fish big water.. (great lakes) I am in green bay wi the water is tough on boats up here. if you think it is scary at top end you need to learn how to set up your rig. all boats made are good, but some are above the rest. triton, skeeter, champs, in my book.

ToPwAt'R GuY · 09-09-06, 11:32 PM

I like ranger boats.

Crazykidd · 09-13-06, 10:14 PM

I just bought a ZX250 and i'm very pleased. I've been in almost all models and they all have their ups and downs. I could stay on here all night and tell you whats wrong with each boat, but I wont. Just be happy that you have a boat!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

kbkindle · 09-14-06, 06:26 PM

bassnman30 · 09-24-06, 02:13 PM

Your right about Rangers being slow. I'm proud to admit that I've got the slowest six cylider in my club !

Vabass22 · 09-24-06, 02:22 PM

Vabass22 · 09-30-06, 10:56 PM

I'm just messing around, cause yall were talking bout speed. She does jsut fine on the Shenandoah, and some other lakes, which is all we need.

kybassglastron · 10-02-06, 05:59 PM

what about a Nitro?

skeeterman · 01-12-09, 09:53 PM

I think skeeter's are good boats

Several questions come into play with this

What does your wallet say

What type fishing are you doing

What type storage do you need

The rest is purely up to the one who is paying the bill

I personally love in order

Ranger

Champion

Allison

Stratos

Now we all know what deciding question made my decision
