    Haters

    So my buddy and I took out my new to me Ranger out today for the maiden voyage. All went well , fishing was slow but no surprise considering the conditions. We get back to the boat ramp, load up, ect. We pull up and out of the way so a guy in an older Champion could load. Long story short guy in the Champion decided to go around us in the gravel as opposed to waiting 30 seconds for us to finish up.

    The guy decides he gonna spin his tires right beside us the rest of the way up the hill. I pulled up beside him and asked him if we pissed him off. His response “You have a Ranger and you need to take care of it.” Im thinking, man what a jealous dick and to avoid any further drama I just drove off.

    Ive owned several brands over the yrs with this being my 2nd Ranger. I guess I thought all the hate was limited to the boards but found out today it was quite real.

    Our first tournament of this year I’m backing down the ramp at our home lake (one I’ve fished for my entire life) and a guy in an older Ranger, might have been a 374, is backing down on the other side of the 2-lane ramp. Guy looks over at my boat, totally out of the blue, and says “What a waste of money. My old boat catches just as many fish as your brand new one.” I was a little flabbergasted, but did point out to him that my boat in fact was 3 years old, and told him to have a good day. Not every hater drives another brand. World is (too) full of people with a kink in their necks from looking around to judge what everyone else is doing.

    I'd have told him his was a waste of money too and only age seperated them.

    Life is to short to waste on negativity, move on and take what others do as a reflection of how they feel inside.

    I am a person that enjoy a new boat every few years and I have worked hard throughout my life where I can afford it. I don’t appreciate when people say those things because there either jealous or they don’t want a new boat it’s my money I can spend it on what I want ! Sounds like most of managed your encounter fine and your the better person for doing so . Don’t be a Hater !!

    I don't see any hate of any brand around here............. I just don't get it. Rangers are just another brand to most people.
    Can it be a case of one boat owner (of any brand) looking down their nose at older/different boats?

    Sounds like a great opportunity to call the police and report a road rage incident...

    I congratulate guys with all brands of new boats. My buddy just bought a new boat, not a Ranger and I am glad for him. Negativity gets you nowhere.

    That is just sad. Karma must really be giving those people a rough go.

    No reason for anyone to hate on Ranger boats or anything else.

    I have I owned different boat brands and now in my first Ranger. I enjoyed all of them and took care of them.

    You are hanging the negativity very well.
