Default Ranger 620T

Has anyone seen or been in the new 620T with the 200hp Verado? Want to know if the motor squats the back end to much or if it is a good fit? Thanks

Saw it last evening, but on the trailer, not in the water. I think the photo's that Joe Carlson posted show how the boat sits at trolling speed. Having owned (3) 620 T's, it appears Ranger has done a great job of addressing some changes to the floor plan that were "needed". The redesigned bow storage is great. The relocation of the batteries to the bow, while being absolutely necessary with the added weight of the larger engines, will make it alot easier to check connections and fluid levels. The front baitwell is a nice feature, although I personally will miss the rear baitwell. The cooler mid-way back on the starborad side is a good location (this is where I would have liked to see the baitwell), and the rear storage designed for 3700 boxes looks really slick. Snap-in carpet - FINALLY !!! The seat bases have been reconfigured to allow for equal spacing between 3 anglers in the ****pit area, which for those of us who fish 4 people is a very welcome change. The rear battery access covers (on either side of the splashwell) are awesome. Super simple for access to circuit breakers, and when necessary, oil reservoirs. Rod storage appears to be identical to previous models. For those interested, the boat is at Frankies Marine.

This is the one where Grandpa Joe posted some pics, but I can't tell if that is a Verado on the back of the 620T.

Thanks Terry.

Nice looking boat.

I'll have to check out both tillers next week at the state fair.

The boat in the photo's is the boat at Frankies. It is my understanding that the 620 T will NOT be at the State Fair, as they are displaying only rigs with Evinrude power. The re-designed 618 T with a 90 E-tec will be on display.

The front of the cowl says "Four Stroke" on the boat in the pictures Grandpa Joe posted

Default rear livewell?

Is it a problem to many using this new boat to not have a rear livewell?
Pretty inconvenient.

Default Same As Always

What? The rear live well is in the same location it has always been. Which is excellent for a tiller operator.

Default rear live well

Sorry, I thought I had heard and read that it was no longer an option.
It didn't seem to show on the floor plan I saw.
