Great job Pete keep the pics and updates coming. Be safe and have fun.

Drove by there today on the way to Pizza Hut in Flippin. Guess this is for dealers only and not customers?

Can't wait to get home to see.

At least you will have more chicken between the 2 of you without Roger along. AND you won't have to be worried about getting kicked out.

OK we are settled in at the motel but the WiFi isn't the best in the world so bear with me please!

I am going to kick this off with the new 2019 Ranger Z519 since I have seen some discussion on this board lately regarding these boats. These rigs have been re-tooled to Z520L and Z521L styling.

Trying to avoid confusion here, there is also "Z519L" model which I will shoot pics of tomorrow.

I am glad that Ranger is showcasing this Z519 without many upgrades here to help everybody distinguish the 2 different models. The Z519 comes standard on a single axle trailer (a tandem is indeed available) and without a jack plate.......

This rig is 19'9" long with a 96" beam, it's rated for 225HP, and it now has a larger 43 gallon fuel tank.

What prop is coming on a 2019 Z521C with the Mercury 4 stroke 250 ProXS?
