    One bad Ranger!














    I have to be proud of our riggers. Some of the best in the business as far as we are concerned. Took a very plain Z521C with a 250 Pro XS; tore everything out and started from scratch.

    List of options:
    Mercury Verado 250 Pro four stroke
    Digital throttle and shift- smoothest shifting I've ever felt
    Atlas jackplate and gauge
    Dual lever trim switch
    Mercury digital gauges
    4 Rigid lights on front deck, 2 Rigids under the driver/ passenger seats and 2 more on the back deck
    Nightfishion LED HD-8 rubrail light kit
    Rigid spot light on trolling motor
    Underwater lights
    8' Blade powerpoles with foot switches at bow
    Hydrowave
    Garmin 7612 x 3
    Inhull chirp transducer
    Foward Vu transducer
    Side imaging transducer
    Down Vu transducer
    Point 1 GPS antenna
    Fusionlink stereo ran through Garmins
    4 JL Speakers
    10" subwoofer under passenger console
    Lithium batteries
    Ultrex 112

    Very nicely done, your right one bad Z521
    One thing I would have done is put a dual mount ORIGINAL BBT mount at the console.

    I've looked at those pictures for 10 minutes now, and I can't find a single thing bad about it! Looks GOOD to me!

    The boat is spectacular! I completely agree with RangerRodney on the BBT mounts; they are a great option. I would never use those outdated RAM mounts that damage the fiberglass by the console and block peripheral view. Otherwise, it's an awesome rig!

    To light up the water! I don't think I'd do that in a bass boat (just because I wouldn't want to dig all the stuff out of the bilge and worry about the holes), but I bet it looks cool in the dark. I watch a lot of saltwater fishing shows and all the big boats have that.

    I agree about the console mounts, that flush mount would be the first thing to go.

    Awesome job and some cool upgrades you don't usually see. Can you still use the glove box or is that sub taking up all of it?
