Very pretty boat! I had no idea rangers were building boats that were that fast. I didn't think that was a big deal to them as it was more about he ride and other things. Very cool that you can get a little of both now!

That's one fine ride Mike. Don't mind the nay sayers, they are just having a hard time coming to grips with the fact that the new Z520's will walk off and leave the skeets.

Some guys are still stuck in the old Ranger days. The Z520 platform has been easily breaking 70mph since 2008. Plenty hit the 75 range so I can believe one hitting those numbers.
It really kills some to be positive about much of anything. Ignore the boo birds and enjoy the new ride. Congrats +1 - well said.

Nice boat! I could bump 73mph in my 521C before I put the power poles and Atlas jack plate on. Now I can't get much over 70mph. Still playing with it though... remember speed kills ya'll be safe out there!!!

I have passed up several skeets since I got my z521 in feb. empty wells one pole and 40 dollars in gas and the usual tackle 72 mph
Love the look I get from the skeet drivers when I come by em' although I have had three skeets myself and my old ZX202 was the fastest

The Range Z520C is a awesome boat! Test drove one on Belton last year with 4 footers on lake Belton I got it up to 65 GPS that's new for a Ranger! And I was taking it easy on the boat... I'm a Skeeter Man but if I was going to get a new one it might be a Ranger!

They definitely won't run that with a rude on the back. I know Tharp told me his 520 would never run over 75 but I will admit that's smoking fast in that ranger. I love those boats I'll admit that in a heartbeat
I can backlash toilet paper.
