    Thumbs Up My New Ranger Z175

    Hi All,

    I am both new to the Forum and a new boat owner. Just bought my first bass boat and, of course, it's a Ranger. Took her out for the maiden voyage just this week. All went well and had lots of fun. I do have a rather silly question...which seat goes in front, the full back or bicycle seat?




    Please disregard my silly question. I copy feed my answer ��

    Nice boat. Bicycle seat up front - easier to operate trolling motor.
    Do not take your half in the middle ....

    Nice rig. Personal preference on the seat. I usually go with no seat up front and put the fold down at rear for my dad. If it's just me or a buddy I put butt seat on back deck and if weather pucks up and I need some support I just move butt seat up front.
