RangerRodney - Nice looking boat. Is the entire boat made of Carbon Fiber?

Great Looking Rig!!!! Glenn
Boy that is a purty boat!
Hate the console, hate that they went back to the plastic panels on the inside like the 400 series hull, just another thing to age and crack that won't be available in 8-10 years to replace, but LOVE everything else.
That's how I feel about the trailer fendersOriginally Posted by arjone01
Sure they look great when the boat is fairly new, but they start looking rough after 8 - 10 years...and that's if no one bumps them in the parking lot. I would rather see a stainless or powdercoated metal fender instead.
No, just the lids are carbon, that rig would cost 100 grand if it was all carbon
sorry but that boat does nothing for me. It just looks bland for 70 plus grand. The console is awefull and that is being nice do like some features just hate the color and the console.
How could that console have been approved to go on that boat???

Sweet boat Rodney! Is that your demo boat?
2022 Ranger Z518
That is about a 1000 times nicer then mine, but I have to agree that it does not wow me.
I'm with you on that. I think the only color that looks good with out metal flake is either white or black.
No, i called today to change my colors to that color and it was to late, allready in the finish room. The picture does no justic for this boat, the paint has the metal flake look you just have to see it up close in person, kind of like the paint on these new cars. I love the new livewells, love the new bucket seat coin box, love the new hitch and i like the console myself. Sorry guys Ranger can not make a boat that looks perfect to every body, lot of boats out there these days that i like the looks of but they don't have the features i would want in a boat, don't know of but one perfect boat ever made and that was by a guy named Noel.
I hate to disagree but... I like the console, you can fit any electronics in there I am sure. I am not sure about the
70k price.
Rodney, what can you tell me about the layout and hull? Is it a Z hull or something new? Is the deck a like my 520 or is it a new design?
Just another beer drinker with a fishing problem.
What makes it so much better then the previous Rangers?
This boat coming to TN ?
Personally, I don't care for the boat at all....it doesn't impress me.....I'd rather have a 2012 Z521.....Rodney.....I think you're talking about the ARK......
'99 Ranger 491VS Commanche w/a 2013 250 Pro XS....
nice looking boat.
I'm worried they will ugly up the rest of the Ranger line up. I buy a new boat about every 2-3 years. If the rest of the boats have this console by then, I will be forced to change the window sticker on my truck. Been a Ranger guy since 07', Have owned 3 new Rangers in 6 years. Hope to keep that streak going........ Bit worried though!! Love or hate a Ranger, they have always been a great looking boat with flowing lines (up until this boat). That thing needs a Pontiac Aztek as a tow vehicle to complete the package.
