In the 18-foot class, the Ranger® Z518 stands alone in terms of all-out performance, fishability, and features. With the standard 150-horsepower Mercury®, you'll enjoy invigorating performance and economy, but opting for the 200-horse V8 FourStroke opens the door to a new level of all-out adrenaline-pumping exhilaration. Standard are push-to-close latches that eliminate the tripping hazard presented by twist-to-close latches. We've maximized storage space up front with a pair of 8-foot rod boxes, a gelcoat-lined, insulated in-deck cooler and spacious starboard gear box. The oversize casting deck and 97-inch beam deliver a stout, stable platform. A foam-filled core and strategically placed pultruded fiberglass material deliver unshakable solidity and a one-piece feel throughout. The console carries a full complement of precision gauges, the electronics of your choice up to 12" and stylish matte black accents. Integrated LED navigation lights, a recessed trolling motor pedal and SRS Soft-Ride™ seating round out this angler-centric rig that far outperforms its price tag. From daylight to dusk, the Ranger Z518 delivers features and value like none other.
