Do they have a winner or loser on their hands? Time will tell, but none-the-less it's exciting to see Ranger take this path.

Me and my dad run local tournaments out of a 1438 mirrocraft. Not going anywhere fast, comfortably, or winning the Classic anytime soon, but we're within our budget and going fishing and that's all that matters.

First off, I'm a huge fan! Love the unbiased pov. This is what people want to hear. As a 2nd generation welder fabricator in the marine industry, I love the tin rigs! Looking forward to seeing one of these in person. 99.9% of potential buyers are going to replace all electronics immediately. Why tf dont these big companies offer a premium package with 10-12" graphs, ffs, lithiums, and 36 volt tm option?

You’ll have to do a video on the new Xpress H20. 20’ boat with a 175hp and tandem axle trailer for $40k

You said the answer on this video about boat builders. The smaller builders still have QUALITY CONTROL and PRIDE in what they put out to the consumer.

[glensims]

1996 to 2001 Xpress boats sure seem to be solid. Not always the best the hull, transom, and welds are rock solid. 👍

[bradmatz]

The fact they put accessories on most boats that no one wants is one of the reasons I like alumacraft bought boat motor and trailer went home bought the trolling motor batteries graphs and on board charger I wanted. All the manufacturers should do it that way in my opinion

[centrebassoutdoors]

James Niggemeyer just did a walkthrough video of his Alpha208 and it looks very impressive! Looks well built. Hopefully this is what the aluminum boat market needed!

[BruceGibson-kupz]

I live a few miles from Ranger's factory and they have laid off the entire work force for a few weeks because nobody's buying glass boats right now. All the glass boats are pricing themselves out of 95% of angler's pockets. How many of the "Joe" average guys can throw down even 10% of a $100, 000 boat and have a 30 yr. payment plan? 65K for an
alum. ? We're going to see a lot more repowers being done. I'm one of these guys. I'm retired and don't need another payment book at my age.

I bought my GT by your review 2years and couldn’t say one thing bad. Tm, lithium battery, and power pole charge, I appreciate every review!

[UnLikeU]

Never heard of you but the World needs more of you & your unbiased reviews. Today so many people are Pro-Staff lying that you can't trust what they say.👍

[JeromeCooley-uszl]

From my understanding this boat is supposed to be stamped out 1 piece hull. But White River Marine pkgs out all their boats in order for the consumer to upgrade and that's where they make their money. By the time you get the upgrades, you'll be back to the price range for a well equipped boat and standard opts.

[RickyCarter-rofr]

Thanks for the info, and great video-- speed money brakes

[stu]

At the end of the day it’s still a White River kit boat. That’s why they put those cheaper garbage options on them. Vexus or Avid has WAY more options.

[riccochet]

lol $64k for a 20' aluminum boat and it doesn't even come with a 36v trolling motor. Basically they're charging you for their name. You can get in a Falcon F205 for a little more with better electronics, 36v Ultrex, 4 bank charger. Ranger is smokin that good crack.

I was in the Bahamas last week wearing my Team Marine swim trunks. Looked awesome!

[floridasaltlife]

All good points, I went through one at BPS a couple days ago and I loved what I saw.

[donaldhusted]

It would be a great video series on how to evaluate used boats and motors before purchase

[Getsome]

I have the Xpress x21. Been a beast of a boat. Went to that from a bass cat to be able to fish shallower water. I looked at gator trax, no contest w the quality. Gator TRAX builds thebest Tin boat made. PERIOD ! But my rigged out like my express had me over 100k with a year wait to get it. So I went w express x21. I have @ 73 in my express. Loaded out, 4 graphs, raptor anchors Garmin tm w scope etc

[micahcrews]

Don't know anything about the 20 ft ranger but I absolutely love that 188p. It goes everywhere really smooth and very stable.

[JohnPascavageFishing]

Xpress X21 can take 250. Just got an X19 and love it.
