Ranger Boats for sale

Back to the current line-up of Ranger Boats and there is a huge choice. In the fiberglass range, we find the Fisherman and Angler series, with deep-V hulls, rugged strength, huge deck spaces, and side consoles. The Angler models offer a more family-friendly cross-over with more luxuries. 

There’s also a large line-up of revolutionary bass boats, with the Z Comanche series and Z 500 series, offering a range of high-performance, super-fast, and innovative bass boats for every level. The Alpha and RT series are the brand’s aluminum bass boat offerings, bringing the same level of performance to this sector. 

Continuing with the aluminum boats are the VX and VS series’ deep-V hull boats, as well as the tough RB Series inshore models. The Bay Series, which includes the 2360, 2510, 2600, and 2660 models, takes things up a notch both in size and capability, offering plenty of muscle for catching mahi or tarpon. 

Since 2016, Ranger has added pontoon boats to its extensive list, and the Reata Pontoon remains popular on the used market. Today it has 10 models of pontoon, with different ranges focusing on fishing, cruising, cross-over fish-and-cruise, as well as a luxury model. They offer the same fishability and toughness that Ranger is known for in a more family-friendly lake boat style. 

Activities to do with Ranger Boats

For well over 50 years, Ranger Boats has been one of the biggest names in fishing boats, and later in pontoon boats. Throughout the decades it has stayed at the forefront of innovation and design, with many patented or industry-first developments under their belt that paved the way for industry standards. 

Ranger Boats today builds a huge variety of small- to mid-sized fishing boats, including bass (the founders Forrest and Nina Wood are credited with creating the first modern bass boat), multi-species, bay, fish ‘n’ play, saltwater, waterfowl utility, and pontoon boats spanning many ranges and models. Its boats are renowned for their ruggedness, practicality, performance, and safety. Ranger was the first brand to develop additional safety foam floatation, which became U.S Coast Guard standard. 

When it comes to patents and innovative developments, Ranger has a long list including possibly its most renowned, the aerated livewell. Now seen widely across the fishing boat sector, the aerated livewell was revolutionary as it allowed anglers to keep fish alive during a tournament and then release them at the end of the day. 

Ownership of Ranger Boats has passed hands several times throughout its history, and since 2014 has been owned by parent company Bass Pro Group LLC, which it bought from Platinum Equity. Other top brands under this parent company include Triton, Tracker, Mako, Regency, Tahoe, and Ascend.
