Ranger Fishing Boats For Sale

Ranger Boats has built fishing boats in Flippin, Arkansas since Forest and Nina Woods founded the company in 1968, starting in aluminum before adding fiberglass and keeping both lines running. The brand changed hands several times — Thompson in 1987, Irwin Jacobs' Jmar Holding in 1991, a 2010 bankruptcy followed by Platinum Equity, and finally Bass Pro Shops in 2014 — but production stayed in Flippin. Ranger built its reputation as the bass boat brand, and its early Comanche-series, R-series and Z-series hulls were thick, hand-laid and heavily constructed. Today the lineup spans aluminum and fiberglass bass boats, deep-V hulls, inshore boats, bay boats and center consoles in numerous layouts.

The aluminum Ranger boats for sale use welded construction rather than rivets, with hull material running from 0.10 to 0.25 gauge and much of the welding done robotically, an efficiency that comes from Bass Pro's scale across Tracker, Sun Tracker and Regency pontoons. Every Ranger is powered exclusively by Mercury engines. Closed-cell foam flotation, a feature dating to the company's early decades, adds buoyancy if the hull is punctured and reduces oil-canning flex underfoot. Coverage includes a five-year bow-to-stern warranty and a limited lifetime warranty on the external seams. Aluminum models are sold at a posted no-haggle price, with MSRPs starting near $28,000 and climbing into the mid-$60,000 range on the deep-V models.

The aluminum RT188 shows what an owner-driven Ranger looks like in the field. A 2020 example runs a 115-horsepower Mercury Pro XS and reached 48.5 mph with a 21-pitch prop, settling around 46 mph fully loaded on a double-cupped 20-pitch wheel. It carries an 8-foot Talon shallow-water anchor controlled from both the bow and the console, an 80-pound-thrust Minn Kota Fortrex, and a 9-inch Garmin 93sv with down and side imaging. The paint is applied like an automotive finish, which looks sharp but chips more easily than powder coat, and the older C-channel trailers were prone to frame bending — an issue Ranger addressed with reinforced designs in later model years.

Ranger's saltwater series covers bay boats built for both inshore flats and offshore water. The Ranger 2360 Bay measures 23 feet 5 inches, carries a 300-horsepower rating and a flared bow for cutting chop, and pairs a clutter-free casting deck with rear fold-down jump seats and a center console large enough to house a portable head. Buyers can configure length, T-top, motor, live-well setup and color to order.

The larger Ranger 2510 Bay has an overall length of 24 feet 7 inches, a beam of 8 feet 6 inches and a maximum rating of 400 horsepower. Its specs include a 14-inch draft, 14 degrees of deadrise, a 3,600-pound dry weight and a 97-gallon fuel capacity. Built on a hull first introduced in 2015, the current 2510 adds an offshore second station — a two-person tower with full controls and electronics — plus Taco 380 carbon-fiber outriggers, a rocket-launcher live well, insulated 32-quart and 12-quart fish boxes, and two 9-foot rod lockers in the bow with a patented power-ventilation system. Velcro-together bow cushions convert the fishing platform into a lounge, making it a bay boat that fishes offshore and doubles as a family day boat.
