I would have to second Garys Marine ,, he doesnt want to advertise that he will beat any price ,,but he does. I custom designed exactly what I wanted on the Ranger web-site ,printed it and sent it to all that have been noted above , Gary's was the best and they will set it up anyway you wish.

Bass Cat is coming out with a new boat in the spring 21 ft.and I can tell these boats are built tough. The Yamaha sould be name something elas. The ones I have ran like fuel and oil but they are tough. I got a 250 Merc on my 08 Puma and love the fuel mileage and its good on the oil. Check out BigDoutdoors in Vidor Tx for the best deal 409-769-3700 Tell them I sent you.

I don't know most of the other dealers, however, Gary's Marine is hard to beat. I drive from Dallas to Gatesville without hesitation...

If your getting wet and a rough ride in a Z-21 I would hate to see how bad it would be in another major brand with that driver.

I have a new Z520 and it rides like a champion in rough water. I have never been in a smoother and dryer ride. I loved the way my z 20 fished and rode but there is no comparison to the Z520. Just my 2 Cents.

I went by Diamond Sports Marine (lake Fork) last weekend to pick up some oil. They had a Bad arse z520 on the show room floor. I was one of the best looking boats I have every seen.

I've just gotta ask this. What difference have y'all seen between the Z-20, and the Z-520? I know the layout is different, but what about other aspects of these boats?

The Z520 is the hull from the 520vx flaired out for a wider deck... Probably the best hull ranger has ever made. Its faster than the Z21, it handles rough water better than the Z21, and did I mention it's faster?
I vote for the Z520 from Diamond Sports Marine @ Lake Fork

my z 20 had a different hull. It wasnt as wide of a beam either. It fished great but was a little rough. It was ok in rollers between the troughs but it could be rough in other situations. My Z520 is much much smoother and much much faster. You can feel the difference just going over boat wakes.
