    I’m no longer a Ranger owner.

    Yikes!!! Well I just watched my 185vs pull off down the road. This means that search is on for new “ new to me “ Ranger. I will be taking the next few months to search the websites for the best Ranger I can find and stay in the teens as far as pricing. A 500 series boat with a 200 Yamaha would be ideal. I have 4 1/2 months to find her.

    I have a 185 VS and love it. Couldn't imagine getting rid of it if I didn't have it's replacement sitting next to it in the driveway. Good luck on your search.

    There was a little gasp as he drove her away.

    I went through this last year when I watched my 2003 185VS head down the road to South Carolina.... my first Ranger and it was a tough sight to watch. Fortunately I had my new friend sitting next to it in the garage already and it’s been a great upgrade.
    Very nice boat for sure

    I just sold my perfect fully loaded 2011 Z118 (3 hds live 12s, hydrowave, dual power poles, etc) .....what a stupid, dumb idea!
    I will be back in a Ranger as soon as I can!
    So disappointed in myself.

    This is what my garage looked like before my 2003 pulled away! I love this picture.

    I've got my 188VS / 175 Omax for sale and I'm afraid I'll feel the same way. But when you get a new one you'll probably be fine.


    Have a good one and thank God for it!

    I was very lucky to find a great boat that is in amazing shape. It's sitting in the garage and I couldn't be happier.
