The Ranger Z518 is a fierce competitor on every stage, and when you add the benefits of the Ranger Cup Equipped package, this rig's advantages get even stronger-and represent a greater value. Everything about the boat is professional grade from its top-tier materials, searing all-around performance, and legendary fit and finish. At 18' 10", the Z518 Ranger Cup Equipped boasts a 200-horsepower rating for punishing wide-open performance that melds perfectly with a wide, stable beam to deliver rock-solid stability on the trolling motor and on pad. Standard push-to-close latches eliminate the tripping hazard presented by twist-to-close latches. 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.
