Well gents...I went a did a thing

[avidbasser]

A good thing...put a down payment on a Ranger Z518 in Fusion Blue. Waiting on the build / release date so I don't have that yet. But I'll give a run down on what I added.

Ranger Z518 w/ Z Pack (2019 Serial)
2019 Mercury Pro XS 4 Storke (SS Prop)
Lowrance Carbon 7 bow & 9 dash
NEMA Link
SideScan
Hambys Keel
Ultrex 80
Minnkota 3 bank digital charger

I've been going back / forth on the Phoenix 618 Pro, Nitro Z18, Triton 189TRX, etc...all in the 18' class boats. After really truly deep diving the extras, add ons, etc...I felt that the Ranger had more for me in their offerings and what appeared to be way better quality overall.

Now, the wait begins...and yes I'll post updates and pictures on here.

Looking forward to joining the Ranger family.

Thanks to you all...the waiting is making me anxious already. I'm already thinking about the last tournament in my old rig and when I will have the time to empty and get everything cleaned up for the new boat.

AHAHHAHAHAHAH

You will enjoy it! There is just something about a Ranger boat and how it feels to own one, can’t explain it, but it is a good feeling!

The one thing I would suggest is upgrading your cranking battery to an AGM. If you fish tournaments the stock g27 lead acid might not make the day. I have Helix 9 & 10g2n's on mine and once I added a talon I could only go 5hrs into a tournament with the pumps on timer and I would be using the jump switch the rest of the day (that works really well btw). I went to an x2 power group 31agm and no more problems.
