It will be another Ranger. Kidneys are fine  Same here. Body parts are still good after 15 years and I think the overall platform is more important than anything else and a 520 is the best overall platform.
Retirement best job ever.

Just bought a new Ranger Z520C with a 250 Pro XS. It will probably be my last boat at my age, but if something happened to it I would buy another one just like it.

Bought a 07 Skeeter ZX225 this spring and absolutely love it so I would have to go with another Skeeter...

I'm running an 08 Champion 210 and at my age I doubt I will need to replace it. There is a good chance though I will downsize someday. In that event I will be in a 15 aluminum flat with a 40 hp.

pretty sure all boats that run over 70 have a lil chime just takes a lil A$$ time to learn how to crorrect it. My cat had it around 76-78 and smooth 79-82 ( Cougar FTD ) Looking for my next one now will be Bass Cat Eyra or Cougar I'll be getting another FX 20. All boats do not chine walk over 70.... The cat is probably faster though.

Just for giggles I have a question. When on forums such as this you see less people wanting Rangers or talking about Rangers. Majority of people now are wanting pheonix, basscat, and legend. Why is this hahaha Yet Ranger, Skeeter, Nitro and Triton still far outsell the ones you mentioned. Sounds like a lot of people talking but the ones doing the buying are sticking with the bigger brands. I owned one of the 3 brands you listed. I had it the shortest time of any boat I have owned.

My 06 is paid for and is still in great shape. If, god forbid, something happens to the motor then I will probably re-power as opposed to buying a new boat. I love not having a payment. My Z520 is newer but I agree with you. Its paid for, looks and runs great but most of all its as dependable a boat I have owned. Unless I find a great deal on another Z520 I will probably keep this one for a good while.

Bass Cat or Skeeter. I currently have a Triton and I really like it, but I will upgrade in a few years and my first choice will be Bass Cat or Skeeter. But I won't buy a new one, so it really depends on the best deal I can find on a lightly used, well maintained boat.

Really? You must not be "hearing" from too many people, sport.  There is a poll in this section asking "what will be your next boat?" Skeeter 22% Ranger 17% BassCat 13% Champion 10% Triton 10% Legend 4% Phonenix 3%

Not too sure when I will get another boat. Made my last payment on mine last month (great feeling) and although she isn't as pretty as she first was, there's absolutely wrong with her.
No matter what happens, it will say Skeeter on it.
