I like this boat a lot. Some things I don't like but to stay at this price, I have to be willing to make sacrifices. Most of the features I like at this price point. I like Channel Iron Trailer although he didn't point that out (tube frame trailers has given me headaches in the past). Another feature I like is fiberglass console (I've had issues with flimsy plastic consoles in the past). Overall a good looking boat. I will check these out up close at the next boat show. Can't wait.
I love when somebody is talking about an aluminum boat and says “Fishes like a glass boat, Etc.”...But....I am interested in a new tin boat, and I think this is the one I’m gonna get. The idea of having the gas tank under the seats to make more room in the battery compartment is massive, if you ask me. Xpress boat company needs to pay attention ...
I'll never understand why boat companies refuse to put the MAIN rod locker on the port side of the boat. So annoying. Instead they have tackle storage over there. When we have our rods all laid out on the deck, it then makes it hard to get into those compartments.
I pick up my 19 ft aluminum ranger next week been a glass boat owner most my life but I’m really looking forward to seeing what this boat does
2 years later, how do you like it?

Main thing is it has a step hull with running pad...to me. It is built for transom mount type anchoring. Great boat !!!

I love my rt178
Rt178 was all my garage would handle and I couldn’t be happier. Quality is unmatched.
Take a shot every time he says "glass boat"
So I have heard from different people only 1 power pole can be used without voiding the warranty. Is this true?
Hi, Garrett. An authorized dealer can discuss your boat's warranty in more detail: www.rangerboats.com/dealers.html
Can you get a salt water trailer with this boat?
Wish y’all add a net place where you can put a net and in the live well have it set up like the 520c so your fish can’t jump out
That’s a bad ass hat. Where can I get one.
Brent’s just gonna fill it tackle no rods lol
I don't like that I can't fit rods close to 8 inches on the side.
