Went to a small boat show in Green Bay last Friday with my son. Was surprised to see a new Ranger aluminum boat. It was very nice but the fit and finish was not up to the usual Ranger standards. After looking closely I did see a sign that said it was a prototype and that would explain that. Pretty cool that on one side of the booth there was a sign that said how great and better than aluminum fiberglass Ranger boats were, and on the other side of the booth was this new aluminum Ranger boat, LOL. Anyway the specs were that there was no wood in it, including the transom. Ranger has had no wood in the transom of their boats for a while and appears to be continuing that with the new aluminum hull. Looks like they used their great fiberglass skills on the console and such. All in all I liked it a lot. Has anyone else seen this new Ranger AL boat? Maybe I'm behind the times.
