    I did it! New to me Ranger Owner! 2005 185DVS!!

    Well. I posted about it awhile back, and had some issues with titling. I live in MO and the boat was KS, so poor Cabela's had to go through a hassle with my credit union. But alas, today, I picked up my new-to-me boat! I have never owned a true bass boat! Just an old 14' John Boat maybe 15-20 years ago! I haven't been able to take it out on the water yet, but plan to some tomorrow morning! I don't know too much about it, but wanted to share with you all! Here are some photos and a link to the full album!

    Congrats very nice. You’ll enjoy this. I just went from a 16 foot flat bottom boat to a glass ranger. Trust me you are going to like this.
