bassin_man Posted October 31, 2007 Posted October 31, 2007 These are two boats that I'm looking at that are in my particular price range ($15k-$17k). I was just wondering what the main/big difference are between these boats and which one are generally seen as the better boat. They would be around the year 2000 give or take a year. I am probably going to take a ride in a R83 sometime soon just wanted your input. Thanks Quote
Super User cart7t Posted October 31, 2007 Super User Posted October 31, 2007 The 518 would be considered part of Rangers Elite or high end line. The R83/93 was an entry level model with fewer options, engine choices and color choices for cost conscience customers who wanted to get into a ranger but didn't want to spend the big bucks to do it. Most of the major manufacturers offer some sort of elite line and then a budget line. Build wise, the quality of the boats is the same. Quote
AJ Posted November 2, 2007 Posted November 2, 2007 Like cart7 said, the 518 is the higher end. I have no complaints from my 2001 518. Very well built boat. Quote
