The proof in the pudding for Ranger has always been what you don’t see under the cap with superior floatation, expansive stringer systems, and pultruded fiberglass transoms and supports that not only give it a quality ride but also adds to its durability. Their flagship Z520C in fiberglass continues to evolve with better livewell systems, compartment ventilation, and that sturdy soft ride that Ranger is noted for. Top shelf features, superb fit and finish, and a resell value that is second to none makes Ranger the Dream Rig for most anglers. Ranger, recently purchased by Bass Pro Shops, continues to build high quality, performance boats in both fiberglass and aluminum. This boat features large casting decks, intelligent storage, and lots of room with improved handling for racing from spot to spot. The new Lund 1875 Bass is set up to accommodate a big water ride but with the capability of use in smaller waters too. ![]() Arkansas based Xpress Boats even builds several pad style performance boats including the X19, X18 and their flagship Xclusive X21, that can utilize a Yamaha SHO 250 horsepower engine, jackplate and a quiet dry ride at 70 mph. ![]() Makers like Xpress and Lund, however, both offer bass boats that provide high performance, can handle big water but are constructed of aluminum.Īngler amenities have been stepped up in the last few years with more offerings that were before thought of only in fiberglass. Both Ranger and Phoenix offer high end fiberglass bass boats now. Your choice can be based on your experience with a particular construction, but today both fiberglass and aluminum boats offer many of the same amenities. Saving a few dollars now on engine, prop, electronics and trolling motor can save the budget today but spending a few to upgrade at purchase time can ultimately save money in the long term and make the experience even better.Ĭheck out our exclusive Wired2Fish walkthroughs of the 2016 Lund 1875 Pro-V Bass and the Pro-V Bass XS.
