Curious if they will ever go to lower cost stripped down boats in both center console and bass.
Similar to 1860 center consoles from Alumacraft, G3 and Seaark?

So where are the pictures for this flooring.....would like to see. Imagine this is what they will use in the Center Console boats too.
That is always my hang up, the storage. If they built it more flats boat style which is basically bass boat and some wide gunnels it would be sweet. I love storage and a clean deck.
Bay boats tend to have less hp than bass so if it stayed the same it would be nice. If you look at Rangers tin center console they are lower than the bass.
Can we get a tease on the center console, maybe a detail or two. Will it be the same Hull as 1980 or deeper v? Or maybe you can just add some carpet free options to the 1980?
Are there any dealers near Beaumont, TX yet or is Houston the closest for now?
Can't wait to see one of these up close.
Thanks
I compounded my boat with Meguiars 105 and 205 , no wet sanding about 3 years ago and it looked fantastic, followed up with Starbrite marine polish. I reapplied once within that year boat stayed...
Looking to purchase Helix7 SI just making sure the next thing isn't on the horizon not because I need the newest but making sure I don't miss some good discount. Any exceptional discounts for July...
I decided to bring mine to upholstery shop and had done with marine fabric....love it. The folks at Ranger suggested doing this route as bolt on seat may have you seated to high and in the wind.

I am hoping its more bass/bay/flats style basically same hull same storage and deck layout but center console with a few tweaks.
I like lots of storage and deck space like a bass boat, just hate...
so how long we talking here? =) 1 month?
i am hoping to see the 1980 CC version
Have a High 5 which is obviously a 5 bladed prop on my 95 481VS with Merch 150 XRI 2.5 and with just me and it can hit 60-62.
Topping out at 50 seems off.
I did my 95 481 a while back when I bought it with Meguiars 105 and 205 and the black and yellow meguiars pads. The result was amazing cloudy to like new shine, lasted 3 years or so then I brought...
I go back and forth with this too. I really like my boat but sometimes I want everything new, new motor, wiring, switches, pumps electronics.
Wonder what that would cost? $15-20k? New Vexus...
Wow, that white looks amazing. Now just show us those prototype photos of the CC boat.
Guess I will have to look to cc also. The 1980 looks amazing with those smooth lines like a fiberglass, but The next boat can’t have carpet. Still considering ripping out carpet on 481vs to get me...
Carpet is not my friend. Is there a seadeck or aomething similar option?
I want a well built, modern hull without all the fancy, blingy, gaudy crap. I sound like an old man but only 36.
A simple classic looking boat with clean lines for a reasonable price. They can...
My 95 481vs has a ladder on back left so I would assume so.
When I was talking to the Ranger parts guy on the phone he did say they were built more solid back then compared to now. He did not elaborate and it could have been lip service.
I would imagine...
I have one that is going out, any suggestions as to what to purchase and where to buy. I have a 95 Merc 150 XRI and the part I believe I need is 332-7778A12 ... correct me if I am wrong.
Now...
That was the first thing I was going to try. I have the Sierra kit I bought a while back but read before I should get the Mercury one for the better quality.....is that true?
Started boat, hasn't been run in a month or so started fine got on plane but topped out at 3,000RPM and if I went over 3,000 I would lose power. Drop below the 3,000 and it would pickup power again....
I have had this boat 4 or so years and its been great.
