I never had a problem with my Ranger "1" series. The dealer is as important a decision as the boat you buy. I've never had a problem with my dealer.

Agree with Jeff. One that is paid for. The best case is to find a used boat, preferably less than 5 years old, with an engine that still has warranty. Let the original owner take the depreciation hit and you still get the warranty coverage.

Buy a Champion, all others sink. I have a 20' Champion and the ride is 2nd to none, But a family member bought a New legend 211 with a 250 Merc pro xs and it is pretty awesome. I've only been in it once and it was calm so I don't know how it is in rough water. But I do know how a Champion is in rough water DRY!!!

I fish out of a 99 Champion 171, that I bought new from Fun N Sun. Great little boat, good ride in rough water. Has a 125 Merc that just sips gas, which is nice in this day and age. Best part is, it is paid for. I would not own another brand of boat, it has been great from the beginning, and so far has never let me down. My motto has always been, " The fish do not know how big your boat is." I fish once or twice a week so it gets alot of use. Cant say enough good things about it.

" The fish do not know how big your boat is." The fish might not know it but the 20-30mph Ray Roberts winds do. (not knocking anything, I just couldnt help it)
