Tim what model do you own? Is it a 521 and if it is have you fished the nottoway?
Looks like I am the odd man out. I have a 1991 Ranger690 Walleye style boat. Repowered with a 1998 Evinrude 175 carbed. It has done everything for me. Bassing, catting, stripers, salt-water, skiing. Have had a 60 lb blue cat in the 50" livewell. Rear deck extension for bassin, out for everything else. 12 rodholder bases. 59 mph empty with cool dry air. Running a 22 Raker. Would love to test run a 21 Renegade.
I love this boat. My 3 year old son is safe riding with me, with the deep sides. We are going to have a blast in this boat for years to come.
I love my Ranger.
Tiny Ranger, I have wanted a 320 since I can remember. That is a sweet ride.

04 Model 175VS ...and yes it fishes bigger than any other 17.5 boat
125 Merc...and when it grows up it'll be a 150
Once the kiddies ..hmmm..young adults..ehh..20-somethings.. ...are off the payroll there will be at least a 185 wif an Opti sitting in the garage..although given the pace at which my offspring are moving to get on their own two feet..there well could be a whole new line of Rangers out there...
It's all good though..and I ain't complaining. Good Fishin to all!

1980 275 fish ski. 1980 175 merc. On the speedo I have clocked 57, My buddy has a GPS that I want to use to check it with. I have only had the boat about a month, love it. You would never know by looking at it that it is a 1980 model. Great shape.

8' oak mission style with an old mercury wheezer. The prototype for the new Z series. Works great when I take it up north where we have the shore lunch. You can turn her over and fire up the wheezer to slice your potatoes!!

nc521vx - nice truck you have! (Matt's boat speaking) I belong behind your H2 cause I'm mostly metallic red and I know I'll look fantastic there, not behind my master's pewter 2500HD! Oh well...

i love my boat i sat on the 185 and the 175 not much difference on the bow as for room at the very front but big diff in price i also put 2 garmin 240s on it bike seat and other goodies. but when the little guy graduates from the baby sitters i be gettin me a full size Ranger of course got my eye on a 195 with a 200 on it
but for now this one catches fish and looks awsome, oh yeah its a 2004.

I am a Crankbait junkie...I'm in a program...It ain't helping!
I have a 2000/518DVX/200 OPTI-MAX ,and I love it, even if it doesn't have a cup holder
Your missing it on your vote chart.
You can add ones that aren't there. When you build a poll you can only start with so many entries, but allow posters to add new ones.
I added the 519 polls and the 518 polls that places 519/518 into 2nd place with only one vote away from 185. That mean 519/518 is most popular 500 series boat and second popular boat of entire Ranger line. I guess it has to do with price and versality of it.
I request to pin this post to keep at the top because the polls are getting slower now and start to float down - there are always new members with boats coming in.
