Noticed its not on the website. Has it been discontinued? This was my dream rig. Guess ill be looking for used but with only 3 manufacturing yrs it might be tough.

Yep...used.
Possibly a long shot, but ask Steve at Knox Marine. They sold a few of the 522D and might know of a current owner who is thinking of changing rigs. Availability will be like hen’s teeth, however, so you’d have to have your checkbook in hand when one is located.

Ive got a couple clean ones located but both are dual console. I really prefer a single but there so spacious it might not be to bad
Any of you guys on the great lakes wish you had a 522D over your 520C or 521C?
521C is my alternate if the 522D hunt doesnt work out
I never feel cramped in 521 dual console, and I fish team or draw exclusively...That 522D is a beast of a boat...I doubt you would ever feel cramped by a dual console. If you really want one, you should at least take a look at those duals.Originally Posted by champ210
I came from a 520 into the Z522D and the ride is night and day difference on big water. It handles the big water with no problem at all for me.
I also have a friend that just traded in his Z522 and purchased a Z522D and he also said the ride was much better in big water.
I have the dual console and there is plenty of room to move around with 2 guys.

If I lived up north around the Great Lakes, I would have bought a Z522D...

Just spoke with Mike Safreed at Dixie Marine in Fairfield, OH last week. He said the same thing... Just have to ask him I guess...?
Till end of month you can still order a 522d beyond that not sure.
Ranger must have a timetable for taking that mold offline. It has to cost them a fair chunk of extra change to set up to run just one boat. Be nice for the guys who want one if they get a last chance to pull the trigger, however.

Thats how my friend got his, but the Ranger rep ordered it back in mid June.
i guess it doesn’t hurt to ask your local dealer.

Not trying to start a fight here here, but if you can't get a 522 Ranger, the Basscat Jaguar is a huge boat as well.
Thanks but I dont think there is a boat of any brand out there that will compare to a 522D. Maybe in length and width but nothing else has a walleye/ multispecies hull and bass boat cap except lund but i wouldnt put the 2 in the same class
I wish they would make a 20.5 D nearly 23' is to much

Please Ranger!!!! Make them for one more year! Timing is everything and I'm a year away.
Make a 522L original hull 522L
Be nice if it was by order only.
