    Coin box photos

    I have a 2012 Z521 and am finally going to pull the trigger on a coin box from Ranger. If possible, I would be grateful if anyone has a before and after photo? In addition, any pros and cons. My boats has the really thin center seat that is a great step when down but looking for that awesomeness of the coin box space. Tired of throwing my stuff in my front lockers with rods down. Tried Youtubing but not a lot of videos out there.

    Thank you.

    I don't have picture but I had a seat and went to a coin box....install took about 1/2 hour.
    Loved everything about it, the only con is you loose a third seat if that matters to you.

    That's the coin box in the new boats. Nothing like the kit for older boats. I spoke with Ranger about a coin box for my '05 521. No cup holders and it is carpeted. Must order it with hardware kit and instructions. Hoping to get a photo from them before I order it. It;s rediculous not having helm storage. Need a coin box but might just build my own.

    I would post a picture that Ranger sent to me of what it will look like in my 04 519vs but I can't. If anybody wants to see it, I can email it to you. Just send me a message with your email address. What I am doing is replacing my seats and adding the coin box. it isn't cheap but will be worth it when you figure in the cost of the skins, then paying somebody to put them on.

    I am confused about how this works. My Ranger has the center seat with the fold down back. Do I have to replace the entire bench?

    I bought the news seats with the coin box. Yes it was more expensive but I think it was totally worth it. Got more storage and when I looked under the old seats the springs were rusted and broke. The foam under the seats was terrible too. Here are before and after pictures.

    It seems as though coin boxes are the hot ticket right now. I have a new one that just arrived from ranger a few days sitting around waiting to be installed. Same setup as KC Ranger above.
