NEW FOR 2010: RANGER 2310 BAY NEW FOR 2010: RANGER Z521 COMANCHEThe long-awaited addition to Ranger's Z500 Series arrives in styleFLIPPIN, Arkansas - Ranger's all-new Z521 Comanche follows in the rich lineage of the most popular series of bass boats in modern bass fishing history. It's a line with multiple "Best in Class," "Editor's Choice" and "Excellence in Design" awards from today's most respected industry publications already to its credit. Delivering the same top-end performance and handling, racecar-inspired design and trend-setting amenities to the 21-foot bass boat segment, the latest member of the Z500 Series ushers in yet another benchmark in high-performance, competitive bass rigs.
"From the moment we introduced the Z500 series, this is the boat that so many anglers have been asking about," said Ranger Boats President Randy Hopper. "We're excited to unveil this new rig and share the results of so much angler input. On top of so many new interior features, it's an exceptionally responsive design with a great ride and ultra solid feel on and off plane.
The Z521 Comanche measures an efficient-yet-spacious 21 feet, 3 inches in length with a 95-inch beam for the sturdiest fishing platform of any high-performance model in production. Rated for 250 horsepower, the Z521 is available with a wide range of precision-matched outboards to meet the preferences of anglers across the country, while a 52 gallon fuel capacity ensures plenty of range for long runs in search of fish.
The interior is highlighted by a completely redesigned console that's not only taller for more protection, but offers built-in mounting options for today's popular, large-screened electronics directly above the steering wheel - eliminating the need for gimbal and swivel mounts in most cases. The redesigned consoles also integrate a stylish-yet-functional concave beveling on the outside, allowing the tips of rods stored on the front deck to stay more secure while in use. With tons of storage throughout, the Z521 incorporates the same stainless steel key lock system with powerful compression locks and triple-lip-sealed storage lockers as previous Z500 models, keeping gear extremely dry and delivering comforting peace of mind.
Other new features include an integrated front deck step with storage, which can be used for tackle and gear or thanks to a gel coated, insulated interior - an additional cooler. Z521 owners can also choose between Ranger's patented SRS bench seat design or opt for a new bucket seat configuration, which in place of a third, middle seat features a console with storage and cup holders.
Like all Ranger boats, the Z521 Comanche comes paired with its own custom-built and serial-number-specific RangerTrail trailer. Designed to perfectly match the boat to ensure years of smooth, easy towing and maneuvering, the Z521 Comanche's trailer is equipped with Road Armor finish, L.E.D. lights, new aluminum mag wheels and COOL Hub® lubrication system as standard equipment. Designed and built in the same factory and to the same exacting specifications as all Ranger boats, RangerTrail trailers are custom aligned with individually balanced wheels, feature swing jacks that retract flush to the frame as well as torsion axle suspension and locking, swing-away tongues. With matching fiberglass fenders and matching spare, the RangerTrail trailer delivers peace of mind when trailering and complement the striking good looks of Ranger boats.

NEW FOR 2010: RANGER 621VS FISHERMANProven hull, best-in-class features combine to make the ultimate multi-species rigFLIPPIN, Arkansas - Multi-species anglers have specific features in mind when it comes to selecting the boat that will take them to the best walleye or musky fishing. Whether it's in a tournament or just for fun, these boats need to be as versatile as any big-water angler's fishing presentations; as open and spacious as the waters they fish and designed for proven performance. The new 621VS Fisherman from Ranger Boats delivers on all counts. With a layout and feature set suited for the modern tournament angler, guide or hardcore fishing family, the 621VS Fisherman blends the best of Ranger's multi-species boats with the intuitive and efficient enhancements that anglers demand.
Sporting all-new dress trim from Ranger, the 621VS Fisherman provides a distinctive and performance-inspired appearance on the water. With more keel built into the popular, proven hull design for easier maneuvering on big, rough water, the boat delivers an even smoother, drier ride. Rated for a beefy 300 horsepower and available - like all Rangers - with a wide range of precision-matched outboards, the 621VS Fisherman balances mechanical performance to tame the toughest conditions with increased interior comforts and a bevy of integrated storage options.
Measuring 21 feet, 5 inches with a 99.5-inch beam, the 621VS Fisherman holds 55 gallons of fuel in its single tank, which is mounted below the cockpit for enhanced load distribution, better ride and increased performance. Capable of long runs to the most lucrative and secluded fishing spots, anglers will benefit from the 24V Minn Kota Fortrex trolling motor with recessed foot pedal and console-mounted Lowrance X-135 electronics, all complete with a 15x3 on-board battery charger.
Comfort and convenience features within the boat are highlighted by a redesigned, open floor plan which provides additional dry storage by storing the trolling motor batteries in the floor while also generating 15% more floor space. In the cockpit, an all-new console provides room for in-dash mounting of today's popular, large-screen electronics - including units as large as the new HDS10 from Lowrance. Elsewhere in the cockpit, a new gear management system featuring built-in cup holders and tool organizers is integrated alongside the driver and passenger seats, while snap-in carpet allows for easy maintenance and clean-up.
"Some of the best multi-species waters in North America have at least one thing in common: notoriously rough water. If you're going to be successful - and dry - when you take on these fisheries, you have to have a boat that performs," said Ranger pro and veteran walleye angler Tommy Skarlis. "The hull of the new 621VS Fisherman has more keel that's designed to tackle these big waters and delivers a competitive edge you won't find in other boats."
Paired with a custom-built, tandem-axle, RangerTrail trailer featuring LED lights, the 621VS Fisherman is easier to maneuver and enjoys the smooth trailering benefits of custom alignment and individually balanced wheels. Up front, the center swing jack retracts flush to the frame and creates a more balanced load, making it even more secure on the trailer. Combined with matching fiberglass fenders, stylish new aluminum wheels, matching spare, exclusive oil bath COOL Hub® lubrication system, torsion axle suspension, and swing-away tongue, the RangerTrail trailer delivers long-lasting peace of mind and easy towing.

NEW FOR 2010: RANGER 2310 BAY All-new saltwater flagship combines best-in-class features, performance FLIPPIN, Arkansas - Saltwater anglers across the country have quickly come to recognize Ranger Boats as the market leader in performance-minded inshore fishing boats. It's a hard earned distinction built largely on Ranger's commitment to improving product through feedback from tournament anglers, elite captains and guides. Capitalizing on this feedback, Ranger's acclaimed design staff recently unveiled the new 2310 Bay - a completely new design built to dominate the inshore fishing scene.
Following the popularity of the previously introduced 2410 Bay Ranger, the new 2310 brings updated features and even more distinctive aesthetic details to anglers who prefer a slightly smaller, more maneuverable rig. Ideal for anglers along the Gulf Coast and other popular inshore fishing destinations, the 2310 Bay Ranger measures a comfortable 23 feet, 4 inches and is rated for a maximum 300 horsepower. Like all Ranger designs, the 2310 is available with a wide range of precision-matched outboards to meet the preferences of anglers in all regions.
Boasting 80 gallons of fuel capacity, the 2310 gives anglers the freedom to make long runs in search of redfish, snook, tarpon or any other hard-charging inshore saltwater species while also maintaining enough power, performance and range to run beyond the bays and backwater to offshore rigs and reefs. Designed with an increased amount of bow flare, the 2310 gives passengers what engineers are calling the smoothest, driest ride on the water.
When it comes to fishability, the 2310 Bay Ranger benefits from an ultra modern sheer line which produces a large front casting deck with minimal gunnel height - ideal characteristics for fighting and maneuvering fish. And when anchored from the bow, the 2310 gives anglers another added bonus - a rear deck designed with a full transom, eliminating the need for a splash well and offering more efficient space to fish.
"Whether you're fishing the highest-level redfish or tarpon tournaments or guiding saltwater anglers in search of their first snook, overall space, performance and fishability are vital the overall success and enjoyment of the trip," said accomplished Ranger Saltwater Pro Artie Price Jr., whose team has amassed more than a half-million dollars in tarpon tournament winnings over the past decade. "The new 2310 Bay Ranger is the perfect size for drifting for tarpon in the bays with plenty of room to handle big, tournament-winning fish. Plus, it's maneuverable enough to take into the backcountry and target tailing redfish and snook around the mangroves. The intuitive design of the boat's interior means that I can keep the appropriate gear for any of these situations on board at all times without running out of room."
Other interior highlights include a new, angler-friendly console designed to accommodate big, modern electronics favored by hardcore inshore anglers. The console also integrates three stand-up, rocket launcher-style rod holders on each side and a forward-mounted, removable cooler that doubles as a comfortable seating location while under way. Just aft of the console, a new leaning post not only provides more rod storage with four additional rod holders, but also features built-in dry storage for trolling motor batteries and breaker switches - freeing up more space throughout the boat for extra gear.
With multiple passengers on board, the 2310 provides another unique feature - stowable jump seats that can be deployed in a matter of seconds. The unique design allows for extra seating locations when necessary and folds flush out of the way when not in use.
Equipped with a custom-built, tandem-axle, aluminum RangerTrail trailer featuring LED lights, the 2310 Bay Ranger is easier to maneuver and enjoys the smooth trailering benefits of custom alignment and individually balanced wheels. Up front, the center swing jack retracts flush to the frame and creates a more balanced load, making it even more secure on the trailer. Combined with matching fenders, new aluminum mag wheels, matching spare, exclusive oil bath COOL Hub® lubrication system, torsion axle suspension, and swing-away tongue, the RangerTrail trailer delivers long-lasting peace of mind and easy towing.
