17 foot Ranger z175, Nitroz17, Triton 179 TRX, Basscat Margay

Thank you. I was able to close the deal on the certificate recommended by @LewStulePH.D. at a great price. Its hard to say no to my 3rd Ranger significantly less expensive than Nitro or Triton and insanely less than a Bass Cat. I recommend the certificate route to anyone willing to put in the needed research and cash on hand (seems nearly impossible to try to finance them according to the guy selling the certificate). Boat ordered!

The Triton 179TX is closer comparable to the Nitro Z18 at 18'8". The Z18 beam is bigger at 94" and runs mid 60's with the 175. Apples to apples for comparison.

A closer comparison to the z18 would be the Triton 189TRX, rated up to a 175, 18'8'' and a 94'' beam. Triton wanted to offer a bigger boat with a horsepower rating of 115hp rather than a 17'6'' of 17'8''.
