Ranger 618VS

[Badger]

I'm about to put things into motion on the purchase of a 2003 Ranger 618VS, 150 Ficht, 2 Garmin 240's, 74' Minnkota, removable back casting deck, boarding ladder (gotta give the wife something), trailer, etc. Of course, the Ranger promo is included with the package (boat cover, jacket, $500 walmart gift certificate), and there's a 1000+ cash rebate on the Evinrude (or an additional 4 year warranty).

Anyways, the price is sitting at about 30K (give or take a few hundered bucks). Seem reasonable? Want to make sure before I put my signature on the dotted line :).

Thanks in advance!

Check around some more. From what I've read that's on the high side.

I definately agree w/ Loc monster this is on the high side. Also wondering if Garmin is coming out with a 320 instead of 240's like Lowerance did? Maybe something to look at, if already on the boat, because it happened to me last year w/ Lowerance. Good luck

Wow, that was quick. If it were you, what would you pay?

Any Ranger dealers in or near Wisconsin want to throw a price out there for a similarly rigged boat? I've got $$ burning holes in my pockets :).

Badger, what dealer are you looking at in Wisconsin??

I've made a couple of calls now. MW Marine with the same boat I listed above along with the following additional options:

Keel Guard
CD Player
Livewell/Locker Lights

Is right around that 30K price. Plan to make a few more calls yet today. Keep you informed.

Pamp's has one on the floor in Green Bay with the same equipment for around 27-28. When I was at MW they had one on the floor with a 125 Mercury for 23. $30,000 is too high!
