soccplayer07 Posted June 26, 2009 Posted June 26, 2009 Took me a month but here are some pics of my new baby...86' ranger 370v with a 93' Johnson Faststrike 150 hp!!! Quote
Super User cart7t Posted June 26, 2009 Super User Posted June 26, 2009 Looks like a great project boat. Step one: A mix of Snobowl and bleach. Make sure you have water in the bucket before mixing them. Apply to that very stained hull. Quote
soccplayer07 Posted June 27, 2009 Author Posted June 27, 2009 wasn't quite the first response i wanted but thanks for the info. Quote
Super User 5bass Posted June 27, 2009 Super User Posted June 27, 2009 That boat brings back a lot of good memories. The first Ranger I ever had was an 89 370V with a Johnson GT150. Man, I put that boat through hell. Loved that boat. Anyway, nice ride man. And dont worry about waxing or scrubbing that thing just yet, go catch some fish with it first, then decide whether to clean it up or not. Quote
BassnMan Mike Posted June 27, 2009 Posted June 27, 2009 wasn't quite the first response i wanted but thanks for the info. I'm SURE Cart didnt mean any disrespect by his comments, have you seen what he did to the front deck of his older Champion? The thing looks brand spanking new and looks GREAT! Anyhow, very nice looking boat. I remember fishing a Pro Am with Don Iovino years back in a boat just like yours, except he had installed an extra gas tank which gave more deck space but alot less leg room while running, he called it his Lake Mead Special. Did it come with electronics? Is it your first boat? If so, the best advice I can give you take it out on the water, get to know it before you take on big water asnd the best tip, REMEMBER YOUR DRAIN PLUG! Enjoy your new to you boat! Mike Quote
Super User Tin Posted June 27, 2009 Super User Posted June 27, 2009 That is probably one of the most popular boats around here. See them in that same color combination all the time. Quote

Any boat that's 20 + years old is a project boat, some are just in better shape so they're less of a project than others. His boat doesn't need much to spiffy it up quite nicely. Quote
