Ranger Aluminum

[Yarhcaz]

Anyone heard any more about the upcoming aluminum series? Specifically are they making deep V's?

I been wondering as well. I heard Camo patterns would be offered as well. Hopefully some pictures drop soon.

Didn't Ranger try this once before with less than desireable results?

There was nothing wrong with the Ranger Cherokee models. They are going to be building their own hulls this time though.

Last I checked Triton's site they said aluminum boats coming soon too.


Wonder if they are going to be the same boats? When did Triton stop making theirs?

Triton's aluminum hulls were made by Crestliner if I remember right. Now that Ranger owns them, I'm sure they are going to be the exact same aluminum hulls with different names. I could be wrong though?

Lund doesn't own Cresliner, Brunswick owns Lund and Crestliner, and Mercury and a number of other boat companies.

According to some reports from the dealer meeting, Ranger is building a new facility in Flippin to build the aluminum boats. I am sure they will build Ranger and Triton there. I am reasonably certain they will not be Crestliner hulls. (some of the Cherokee hulls were built by Crestliner)

I know they won't be built by Crestliner now. But Brunswick owned Triton and sold it to Ranger, just a couple years ago I believe. Prior to selling them, Crestliner built aluminum Triton hulls. You can see the similarities looking at pictures.
