16, 17 and 18-foot models in the works
It’s been a busy winter for bass boat manufacturer Ranger Boats. First the company announced in December that it had entered the pontoon market. And now comes word it has introduced an all-new line of aluminum deep-V multi-species fishing boats.
The new designs, available in 16-, 17- and 18-foot models offering multiple configurations, will apparently begin shipping to dealerships later this month.
“We’re excited to expand our aluminum product offering with these new Deep V models,” said Ranger Boats Sales Manager Mark Zwicker. “It’s the perfect fit for multi-species anglers looking for the same craftsmanship and attention to detail associated with all Ranger designs in a versatile package complete with an ultra-accessible price point.”
The new Ranger Deep V line consists of nine total models ranging in length from 16′ 8″ to 18′ 8″. Specifically, this includes the 1682WT, 1682DC, 1682SC, 1782WT, 1782DC, 1782SC, 1882WT, 1882DC and 1882SC models. Each model features 100-percent welded, all-aluminum construction with a custom fiberglass console and premium, marine-grade upholstery.
Standard features include a Minn Kota trolling motor, Lowrance electronics, on-board battery charger, factory-installed stereo, hydraulic steering, pull-up tie cleats, non-skid cockpit flooring and dual live well/bait wells. Each model is also available with a wide range of factory rigged outboards.
The new Deep V models come standard with a four-inch channel steel frame Ranger Trail trailer. Designed and built specifically to fit the boat’s hull for solid and easy towing, the trailer offers a swing-away tongue, waterproof lights, swing jack and durable Road Armor finish, designed to shield against rock chips, road debris and other hazards.
