Default Z520 Carbon pic.

Check out the color combo of the Etec on the Z520 Carbon! Is that a new option?

Default I don't get it?

I don't understand how a boat company such as Ranger can't do a better job with there website!! A ton of the pictures are out of date, standard features are wrong in more than one place, the floor plan's on some of the models are from boats that are 5 years old and not even accurate!! Come on guys, is it that hard to take some new pictures of the actual new boats and get all the specs and standard features right? Very disappointing website when planning on spending the $$$ that Ranger boats cost!! Love the boats, think they could do way better on the marketing materials and the web site!!

So they spend their money on making a better boat rather than a better website. Would could be better for a company that makes boats? Yeah, some of their stuff might be a bit outdated, but I do think they have one of the best boat websites out there (if not the best).

I agree they do have a great website, but a lot of the info on it is inaccurate, it would only make sense to me if your trying to sell boats to have the most current information available to the consumer. If you didn't know any better you'd think it was great, but if you know a little bit about Ranger boats you will find all kinds of things that are inaccurate!! Though a small thing, I am a perfectionist and think that they could do better, and for a very little amount of money in the grand scheme of things. Every boat they sell a certain $$ amount is for marketing, spend a little more of the marketing budget on the website. I'm not saying they should take away from the R&D and Engineering budget!!

I tell you what isn't out of date with Ranger and that is their customer service! I love being able to call and speak with some one on the floor of the plant who specifically deals with whatever it is that I am asking about. I also like the fact that I can give them my HIN number and order anything I need for the boat and it will match. I can live with a luke-warm website...

That's great to here, and as a future Ranger owner that confirms that I am making the right decision in making the switch to Ranger, but as for now the website is all I have!! The nearest dealer is over an hour away so going in and kicking the tires when I have a question is out of the question. I did get a bit of good news today though, I just found out that The Power Lodge in Brainerd is now a Ranger Dealer and they will also have Lund very shortly, so kicking the tires this fall before I place my order is going to be a possibility!!

If you are going to Brainerd, make sure you get with Propman about getting the right prop on your boat. I switched to a PowerTech 4-blade prop instead of the original prop that came with the Yamaha F150 and I am very happy with the increase in performance.

So many good boats out there, but Ranger as a company really treats you right.

I live in the Brainerd area and myself and many of my buddies have been in to see Ricky on many occasions! I've already talked to him on what I should get when I order.
