    393V Ranger

    I've 1st chance to buy a 1 owner 393. 200 Johnson with 129 hours. Been garage kept and well covered since new. Tell me the good bad and ugly.......I've seen the boat run but I'm not at the point to have the motor looked at. Thanks

    In my opinion I couldn't ask for a better boat. See my signature for what I have. There are three things I wish were different.

    1) Wish the rod lockers were 2" wider but I'm going to design an organizer this winter for it to clean things up a little

    2) The compartment behind the seats is only good for a paddle, my kids rods, a small lunch bag and fish tags. It is only 6" wide 6" deep but across the whole back of Boat. ~70" I think.

    3) I like to lay my rods on the deck with tips next to the Drivers Console (towards the back of the boat) and new boats have an area to the right of the console that is either a ramp or at same level as floor. Mine has a 4 inch step up and no room for rod tips, so my rods go tip forward.

    The bad ......... if she's clean, all us guys that used to have a 390/391/392 will want you to stop whatever you're doing at the store/ramp/etc so we can reminisce.
