New design brings Ranger quality and aluminum accessibility to multi-species anglers nationwide.rangervs1780

Ranger’s acclaimed roster of aluminum bass, crappie and multipurpose boats continue to be one of the industry’s best-selling product lines as the brand’s strong heritage, quality construction and innovative design resonates with boat buyers. This year, Ranger Boats is poised to introduce another category to the most sought-after aluminum boats on the water, the all-new Ranger Aluminum Deep V Series.

With more models planned for introduction in the coming year, the new Ranger Aluminum Deep V Series will deliver feature-laden boats complete with a solid, all-welded aluminum hull constructed without the use of any wood components. Upright, level foam flotation adds even more confidence, stability, and security to this ultra-quiet design, as proven with the new VS1780.

“We’ve incorporated so many key elements we’ve learned and developed in our years of building the most popular and best-performing multispecies fiberglass boats into the new Ranger Aluminum Deep V Series,” said Ranger Boats President Randy Hopper. “The 1780, in particular, features a solid, one-piece feel and the peace of mind that comes with quality construction and attention to detail – all starting at under $20,000 in some configurations.”

Measuring 17 feet, 8 inches with a 96-inch beam, the Ranger Aluminum VS1780 is rated for outboards ranging in horsepower from 90-135. Equipped with a 24-gallon fuel tank, the boat offers plenty of fishing space on its expansive front deck as well as the ability to accommodate kicker motors.

Illinois Walleye Trail Points Qualifier Results 11/10/13

The second Illinois Walleye Trail points qualifier is in the books and we concluded the first half of the season with a bang.

Thirty eight teams competed in yesterday’s event on the Mississippi River in Albany, Il. A total of 113 fish crossed the scales for a total of 229.62 pounds for an average weight of 2.03 of walleyes and sauger.

Congratulations to the winning team of Maury Schmerbach and… Tim Ware for weighing the largest sack in Illinois Walleye Trail history! Maury and Tim focused their efforts on fishing two particular wing dams on Pool 14. The Iowa duo used a combination of tactics to secure the win. Maury had said, “early in the morning jigs and crawlers were on fire, but in the afternoon we switched to cranks and really pounded them!” Maury and Tim are true river rats and know how to get the job done topping the rest of the field by over 14 pounds! Congratulations guys and job well done!

Also congratulations to Brian Schwartz and Clayton Freiburger for earning the top spot in the NTC sidepot. Brian and Clayton will earn a bid to next years National Team Championship in Green Bay, Wi.
