    Default My new used ride (Bass boat)

    My father and I when to a little bit fancer ride to do our bass fishing from.

    It is a 1998 Ranger R71 with a Merc 115 17.1 feet long 82 inch beam that GPS's at 52 mph at only 4900 RPM wich is a bit off of max but I only run it for about 2 miles

    specs
    24 volt Motorguide Tour series 82 lb thrust trolling motor

    Stainless 13 1/4 x 21 Turbo prop

    Lorance LCX 15 MT depth finder with GPs and mapping plus tape recording of GPS locations for downloading to computer

    2 other depth finders on boat

    Ranger boats factory cover

    Hambys keel protector

    3 air ride pedistols bad 1 broke:^

    tons more just no time

    OLD


    New






    It looks black in photo as it is 8:30 at night no sun light all clouds as it is black base blue metalflake and light blue ranger stripes. It is pretty in person but I would have liked a blue base color but you cannot choose a color when you buy a used one and in your price range way under 10 It was the same price as a 18 foot other brand that was 5 years older but has a 150 instead of a 115 but I will get better gas milage with the 115 and only a bit slower but that is fast enough for me right now on a river and small lake
