I am getting back into Bass fishing and ran into a friend that is selling his babies 2007 521vx. I had been a Skeeter guy and do not really know much about Rangers but this boat is really nice and has been garage kept it’s entire life and has very little use.
One thing I noticed though is that when walking around on the front deck it felt soft and spongy. Not necessarily in a bad way if it’s supposed to be like that but after digging around it seems that soft lids are a Ranger issue. I couldn’t tell if it was just squishing the seals or if it was the lid itself. The owner is not a big guy and the boat has been sitting for most of its life so I know it’s not worn out from over use or abused in any way. The Ranger website says they have “padded” decks but this feels more like flexible than padded.
Is this common on the 07 521s?
Any advice on the 07 521vx as far as what to look for?
