Ranger 521VX Boats For Sale

The Ranger 521VX Comanche is a 21-foot fiberglass bass boat built for serious tournament fishing, with a large front casting deck, side storage boxes, a rear livewell and substantial rod storage running down the gunnels. Model years on the water include 2004 and 2005 examples, finished in Ranger gel coat color schemes such as white with black ice and laser red accents. Anglers shopping a Ranger 521VX for sale are typically looking for a rigged-out, dual-console layout boat with factory-installed Ranger carpet and Ranger seat skins.

Power comes from large-displacement outboards mounted on a jack plate, with documented setups including a Yamaha 250 HPDI two-stroke and a 2012 Yamaha four-stroke. One Yamaha-powered example carried 237 total hours with a replacement gen-two power head fitted by Yamaha, leaving roughly 40 hours on the new power head. Hydraulic steering handles the helm, and a hot foot with a slide plate controls the throttle.

The bow is set up for power fishing. A MinnKota Fortrex 112 trolling motor pulling 112 pounds of thrust on 36 volts is a common upgrade, replacing earlier 24-volt motor guide units, and one boat added a Comfort Troll recessed foot pedal with a Cool Foot plate for hot days. Power-Pole shallow-water anchors are fitted, including an 8-foot Pro Series Power-Pole with a stainless prop, operated by stomp switches at the bow and a switch beside the console. Rigid Industries lighting and Hydrowave units have been added to some boats.

Electronics center on Lowrance displays. Configurations range from twin Lowrance LMS-520C GPS units to a Lowrance HDS-10 Gen2 at the console paired with an HDS-5 Gen1 on a RAM mount at the bow, and newer four-unit setups running HDS-7 and HDS-9 displays networked with a Navionics Platinum chip covering southern lakes. The console gauge panel has been replaced on some examples and includes blinker trim. Added 12-volt outlets with USB ports keep GoPros and accessories charged.

Electrical systems run on AGM batteries throughout, with four AGM batteries needed once a boat steps up to the 36-volt trolling motor. Onboard charging is handled by a MinnKota Precision four-bank charger or a NOCO Genius onboard charger, depending on the boat. Owners have also fitted travel covers and engine covers to protect the rig in transit.

When evaluating a used Ranger 521VX, check the trailer and its components, since the package includes a swing-tongue trailer with brakes, a step for boarding, a spare tire and bunk-style fenders that can show wear. Confirm engine hours and any power head or lower-unit replacements, as one boat needed a new lower unit after tournament damage. The gel coat on well-kept examples holds up strongly for the age, and Ranger's factory carpet and replacement seat skins are available to refresh fished-out boats.
