For those of you that might not have seen the "Ranger Specs" pages on BBC.....you might want to check them out.
Tim of VA provided all of the information quite some time ago.....he's kept every Ranger brochure since 1988.

Looks like some good specs on the different models, with one exception.....My boat is a '99 491VS, which I special ordered....He's saying that you couldn't get the 491VS past '96....not true....They still had the molds for the 491VS, and kept them on hand for a couple of years....At one time, that was the biggest boat (like the 492) that Ranger built...21'--6" w/ tandom axles......In my opinion, the 400 series hulls were some of the best that Ranger built....that's why I still have mine.........:thumb up2:
Ditto for me- I own a 2000 488 ....
the 340 is not even on the list....I owned one for 10 yrs....hot little boat....I think it was the only 16' 10" boat rated for a 150
Gentleman that did the original work no longer has a boat and does not come on here much or often at all. Anyone want to redo the page or info???
Yeah, that was Rob Rasch. Good man. He is in the Army and travels around a lot. Last we talked I think he was a Lt. Col and stationed in FL. Probably in Afghanistan or Iraq now.
Jim, He is a good egg. Actually the specs were developed by someone else...and he is not overly involved here anymore. I sent him an email....
why does the hull on the 482vs weigh less than the single console 481vs?
I have every Ranger book since 1984, I would be happy to assist in some way.
RV,
Please PM your email...let's see if we can get somethign shaking.

Yea, I would like the 185VS etc... added also :thumb up2:
I have a 1995 492V. It has 2 gas tanks that are 32 gallons each. It is rated for a 245 HP outboard.
I have the Ranger 354XT. The specs are the same as the 354V but has a different stern. It is a 1998. Barry
Is there any way to update this list to reflect the models up til current?
Not all are listed.... the Cherokee Series.... I have a 1997 Ranger Cherokee 207.
I have a 99 Cherokee 207 and I cant find any info on this boat. Wish I could.
I thought I would add this here because the 340V's are kind of like bigfoot. People might know of it, but haven't actually see one.

I bet that baby screamed!
I have a 1996 485V, and the list shows it was only available until 1993, so that's clearly not true....
Very good info ! There will always be "special models" that don't show up. I have a 1995 363V Comanche that was built for BASS as a prize boat. They don't list it in 1995, but I know the circumstances . Good job Tim !
2005 521vx dual console ?
Quick question ... what ever happened to the old 361v 362v hull molds ? Were they used to make the r80 in with a different cap ?
Does anyone have or is anyone aware of the specs on the 2000 Ranger 690T? just purchased one and can't find anything from Ranger on it.
This thread hasn’t seen much use and I’ve posted this before, I have every brochure from 1980-current. I’d be willing to help people get information about their boat. I usually keep them at my lake condo so response times are not immediate. Talk to you all soon.
Hi Rangervalenti. I have a pristine 1985 350 V. I would gladly reimburse you any cost associated with getting a copy of the specific manual for my boat..if possible. Thank you in advance. Krf. Peter. mobile 814-758-8019.
It seems like the posted specifications are limited to models introduced from about 1989 to 2001. Has anyone seen a similar tabulation for models from that period to current?
These spec pages are awesome. I've been scrolling through these for probably 10 years now. Everytime I'm looking at a used Ranger I'm constantly going back to these to check length width gas tank size in gallons and it's location. And look for maximum hp rating. Again this has been very useful for me.
Oh and my uncle owned one of those 340V's. It was probably around the mid to late 80's. And of course he overpowered it. He actually had the Merc Bridgeport outboard. I think it had about 225hp, I might be wrong on that, but Man! did this thang Chinewalk. It was out of control.
Ranger Boat specs and Ranger boat images pictures and specifications
Is a good resource for Ranger boat specs
Looks like this page could use an update. We now have another 24 years of production models to incorporate.
Anyone has boat specs for 1996 481vs
What happened to the spec pages? When I click the link it opens a page with no specs?
no specs on link
