Actual length of Ranger z521L with merc pro xs 4 stroke

[old ball coach]

I need the actual ( not "length may vary" as posted on Ranger Site ) of this set up. This is with tongue open of course. Garage is going to be tight. Any help is appreciated. Thanks! - JP

I would suggest posting this on the Ranger forum. Better chance of answer there.

I can tell you that Ranger told me via an email that the new Mercury 225/250 Pro XS 4Stroke engine cowlings stick backward 5" more than the Mercury Pro XS 2-stroke cowling. That reduces your clearance behind the back end of the boat with the end in the vertical position by 5".

Also, I asked a local Cabela's sales manager to actually measure the overall boat/jack plate/motor/trailer length with a metal retractable measuring tape of a Ranger boat I was interested in. Last, the overall length you get should include the manual or hydraulic jack plate if the boat has one.

With 10in atlas it's 26ft tounge open. Add 2ft with tounge straight.
