If it wasn't for Ol' Johnny Ranger would have most likely been on this list. After the last recession it was hemorrhaging money and would have been shuttered by the private equity firm that owned them, kind of like Champion.

I was young but I remember the name on it said clearly: Bass Ninja boats. Never seen another one since but 12 year old me thought it was epic compared to everything else I was seeing including the bass cat I was about to go fishing on. When I am not fishing I am thinking about fishing. And mostly what I should have done differently my last trip! #Brockstarama

I grew up learning how to fish on that boat and learning how to drive and unload/load boats. These days I'd kill to have that rig. I would put new carpet/seats in it, new electronics, rebuild the trailer, etc... Fantastic hull. Dude from Georgia to Houston, TX to come get it. And that old Evinrude ran the day it was sold.

Funny thing is, I was ROUGH on that boat. And never broke a thing. https://www.instagram.com/back40.outdoors www.mercurymarine.com www.lftlures.com

I worked for a company that did just that with their products. I see that in the archery industry as well. Man that is the truth, Matthews has been doing a circle jerk for 10 years!
