Here I go, 1985 Ranger 370V

Wow. I never read that thread. But now I have, and I'm impressed!

WOW! Great Job!... You now have one of the toughest/best looking boats on the water

 

My last boat was a 1989 Ranger Fisherman Tiller.. So pretty much the same vintage.

 

I think I read somewhere you were concerned with the transom. DON'T BE! Here's why..

 

I was rear ended a couple weeks after buying my Ranger Fisherman. The goof hit me while I

was stopped at a red light with a full size GM Pickup. Yes he was talking on a cell phone!

 

Anyways, he literally pushed me and the boat 1/2 way through the intersection. The hit

took 2 blades off the prop, crushed my transom support bar and that's it.

 

I had no pressure cracks or anything in my transom , I had the boat & motor inspected

at a marine repair shop just to be safe.

 

Great job man! Enjoy

Not sure how I missed this either. Lots of hard work and persistence. Sweet ride that is a lot of fun.

All I can say is WOW, amazing job.

I missed this completely as well. Great job, I love how negative people were and you proved them wring, I love a challenge and can completely appreciate the satisfaction of doing the job yourself.

 

Well Done!
