I have taken numerous calls and received countless emails about the performance of the new 619FS Fisherman Series that was unveiled at the Ranger Dealer Meeting back in July. There wasn't one on the water for dealers to test drive in Flippin while we there, so I decided that I needed to get ours on Truman Lake to see what she could do and post it here. First, here are the specs on the 619FS:
.
- Overall Hull Length.......19'8"
- Beam.......100"
- Max.HP.......225
- Engine Shaft Length.......25"
- Inside depth.......24 1/4"
- Rod box length.......Row 1 - 8'6"......Row 2 - 8'
- Fuel capacity.......(1) 51 gallons
- Approx. boat weight........2050
Performance data:
The boat had approximately 28 gallons of gas, we ran with 1 person and 2 on board, spun a 21p tempest Plus 5800 RPM's, ran with livewells full, in short here is what we came up with, more information in the video though!
.
- Top speed of 57.6 mph on the GPS, 1 person
- 4 second hole shot with 2 people on board
- 225HP Mercury Verado, 21p Tempest Plus
Our Ranger rep Steve Altis came over about a week ago and did this thorough walk-around video with me. He shows you the new features of not only the 619FS, but also explains the features in the 620FS and 621FS models as well. It's about 20 minutes in duration, and packed with information!
