ranger z119

[ranger1]

I have been looking at the ranger z119 and would like to here from the owners of this rig . This boat has only been out a few years and everything I read and watch look good however nothing like hearing from the people that run them . How do you like this boat I would like to hear good and bad and would you purchase one again or look at something else
Thanks

   All I've ever owned is Stratos, so can't help you, but welcome to the site.

I think you will find that Ranger owners are the most loyal boat owners out there.  I've not owned one but have helped a couple friends shop for them over the years, including my friend Dale who just bought a brand new Ranger.  He was very close to pulling the trigger on a new Z119 but didn't only based on the price.  They are great boats and you WILL like it should you choose to purchase one.

Waterfoul,your comment on your friends interest in the ranger 519 but the price drove him away.If You don't mind what was the price there about and what was the engine,and his accessories that he was putting on the boat.

He ended up with the "standard" model.  I'm not really up on Ranger model numbers but his is a Commanche series 18 with a Merc 150 Optimax on it.

The Z119 he was looking at had the same power and I'm not sure what price they had on it, I just know he paid a LOT less for the one he bought.
