I don't but have a friend in Ohio who does. Since I'm heading that way, we've discussed his boat, how it is rigged, how it performs, and what he uses to tow it. Basically, he loves it, has it rigged with a 24-volt system, runs a 75 Merc, tows it with a Ford Escape. He used to run big glass boats, and he misses running down the lake at 75 mph, but he doesn't miss the gas bill or running a big truck.

my question is what did it take so long for ranger to come out with an aluminum boat?

I have a 1997 Ranger Cherokee # 207. Still really enjoy this boat and I keep it in good condition. I believe this was the last year Ranger offered the Aluminum boats until recently.

It's very well built with all welded seams. It's not a deep hull though very stable and a great boat for Taney providing you're careful of the shallows and rocks in the upper restricted area. It has a 24v. system for the trolling motor and a 115hp 2 cycle Yahama motor that will put the boat on plane in about 5 seconds with 3 people aboard.

I don't believe this boat is the same configuration or style as they're selling now.
