craigdritchie Posted August 15, 2011 Report Share Posted August 15, 2011 (edited) I previously mentioned that Stratos has introduced a new multi-species fishing boat (326XF) for 2012. Now it looks like Ranger also has a pair of new boats for 2012. The all-new Z520 and Z522 each get a higher front casting deck for better accuracy when pitching and flipping, which also results in more in-deck storage and rod locker storage as well. Further, the two new models will each get a recessed foot pedal in the front deck. Both new models take a 20-inch shaft outboard, and have all the standard Ranger Comanche features. Ranger will offer a Touring Package on these two models that adds a keel protector, deluxe traveling boat cover, water line stripe, oxygenator, trailer parking brake and aluminum wheels from American Racing. The trailer parking brake, in particular, is a stellar feature. I have no idea what they cost. They're Rangers. They won't be cheap. Click here for pictures.

Chance Posted August 15, 2011 Report Share Posted August 15, 2011 I had a few bass boats along the way,most recently a Stratos and now the Ranger 522.If you are looking for a comfortable ride that handles the big water then go with a Ranger.They wont be the fastest things on the water but you will be comfortable.
