I got a few pics. Most are from the dealer but I took a few. It's still there so they can add a Hamby, HDS graphs, Side imaging, and a Fortrex.

Now an interesting story. I went to tour the Ranger plant 11/5/10 when we went for a wedding in NW Ark. I took at least a hundred pictures. After looking at my boat yesterday, I knew I had seen a similar one in the rigging room so I looked at my pics again and found these first two pics. I told my dealer and she said her invoice from Ranger was dated 11/17/10. There were a couple other guys from Texas on tour with us (they're in the top pic and are TFF posters). We talked about fishing and Rangers the whole time. At the very end, they asked, "So which one are you going to get?" We were standing right beside that Z118 in the picture and I said, "I don't know, maybe this one." It's exciting to think I may have bought that exact boat. This is my first bass boat and of course first Ranger. I'll probably never know if that's really my boat but it's identical. I couldn't be happier.

If you live in East Texas or parts of Oklahoma and want a Ranger, call Nichols Marine. They were very easy to deal with and I got a great deal on a loaded boat.

Thanks.

Murvaul and Toledo Bend. I grew up in Carthage but I live in College Station now, so I don't fish over there much.

When you decide to get a bigger one, I'll take that one off of your hands. I won't even charge you to haul it off.

New boats

One of the two happiest days in a fisherman's life.

Sweet! Can a US Army Ranger help you "break in" your Ranger? Let me know. I live in the BCS area.

Do you really want to go there, scottimus?

But for the record. Do you consider a catamaran or flats boat a "bay boat?"

If the day you sell your boat is a happy day it better be because you bought a new one. I'm thinking about some of my best boating days.....limits of fish, girlfriends deciding to go "European", fireworks on the 4th, hundred boat flotilla, etc. Nah man.....the day I sold my previous boat sucked. I'm glad I have a boat again now.

Congrats! I have an 02 Ranger 185 VS. I love it.

If you take care of a Ranger Bass Boat it will last forever.
