Super User SoFlaBassAddict Posted March 24, 2014 Super User Posted March 24, 2014 So I finally dropped the ball and went out and bought myself a glass rig this weekend. Spent Saturday giving it a clean up, lubrication, checking nav lights, etc etc. Ended up spending just a little more than I wanted to, but it could have been worse. Small rig being only 16.5 ft, but it's plenty big for me considering 90% of my fishing will be solo and in smaller waters. Brand new 24v minn kota. Bluewater LED's. New 2 bank on board charger. New batteries. Just needed a little TLC on some of the deck lids. Still needs a good buffing on the gel coat. The only major issue is the seats need a complete replacement. Though I'm in contact with a company who is offering me a hell of a deal to replace them in exchange for some before and after photos. All that's left is to install the electronics I have at home and drop it in the water. Looking forward to that in a few days. 3 Quote

1234567 Posted March 24, 2014 Posted March 24, 2014 VERY NICE! I'm on the fence also about getting a new boat. I didn't realize how much more gas and speed I'd need when on Lake O!!! 32 mph just isn't cutting it anymore! 1 Quote
Super User slonezp Posted March 24, 2014 Super User Posted March 24, 2014 Nice rig. Ranger may make a deck extension for that boat to fill in the area by the step and give you a bigger fishing platform. Quote

Ranger may make a deck extension for that boat to fill in the area by the step and give you a bigger fishing platform. Already on my list of things I want to do. If not I'll fabricate one while is parked in my shop. Quote

FrogFreak Posted March 25, 2014 Posted March 25, 2014 Love it! My dream is to some day own a Ranger myself. Good for you! 1 Quote
