1988 Ranger 375V

[Kyle35]

I recently bought a 1988 Ranger 375V with an E'rude 175 XP. The boat is in mint condition with what seems to be all original equipment. I was wondering if anyone has any performance info or opinions on a boat like mine. I want to install a jackplate and hotfoot, but other than that the boat is perfect. Any info or opinions will be greatly appreciated.

First off WELCOME You should direct your question to setups by Todd on these boards. Hes the best there is.Hes with c and o marine in tenn. I drove from chicago just to percase my boat from him. When he sets up your boat its setup

Kyle, I had a 88 373 with a XP150... use a 6" j/p with 3 1/2" below the pad, a Raker 24 prop I also used a 25p shooter 4 blade, with the 175 you should see speeds of 62-64 gps by yourself and 59-60 with a 2 people and a tx load... They are heavy boats but they ride great and keep you dry in rough weather.

I have a 89 375v. You can also go to Ranger.com and ask, but I was told to be very carefull about that hot foot. The hull is dangerously close to where you would mount it. Good-luck and welcome.

That's why you use one of these. Fits perfect.
