    Ranger Specs Pages.........

    For those of you that might not have seen the "Ranger Specs" pages on BBC.....you might want to check them out.
    Tim of VA provided all of the information quite some time ago.....he's kept every Ranger brochure since 1988.

    Looks like some good specs on the different models, with one exception.....My boat is a '99 491VS, which I special ordered....He's saying that you couldn't get the 491VS past '96....not true....They still had the molds for the 491VS, and kept them on hand for a couple of years....At one time, that was the biggest boat (like the 492) that Ranger built...21'--6" w/ tandom axles......In my opinion, the 400 series hulls were some of the best that Ranger built....that's why I still have mine.........

    Yeah, that was Rob Rasch. Good man. He is in the Army and travels around a lot. Last we talked I think he was a Lt. Col and stationed in FL. Probably in Afghanistan or Iraq now.

    Jim, He is a good egg. Actually the specs were developed by someone else...and he is not overly involved here anymore. I sent him an email....

    I thought I would add this here because the 340V's are kind of like bigfoot. People might know of it, but haven't actually see one.

    I have a 1996 485V, and the list shows it was only available until 1993, so that's clearly not true....
