How much does the aluminum boat weigh compared to a 20 ft Ranger fiberglass boat? How much does the trailer weigh compared to a Ranger steel trailer? One last question. How much did you save on fuel cost while fishing and while towing?
I’d be interested to see what the insides of the compartments look like as well as the back battery compartment and livewells. Looks like an awesome rig!
I would still buy an Xpress first if I wanted an aluminum boat. I had Ranger Fiberglass boats for decades, but switched to Skeeter when BPS bought them. BPS has the worst customer service Ive ever experienced.
Glad they listened and went to rocker switches, eliminating that touch screen mess. Can't wait until end of the year assessment, especially concerning the transom and all that weight back there.
First look is that it has the same issue that my Vexus has. If you have a partner that needs to sit so they fish in the back; The center box between the driver and passenger seats is to high. If you are not 6'8' it is very hard to get off the back deck into the floor of the boat.
Thanks for sharing, James. I still have my 2014 Z521C. If I ever sell it, the 208 Alpha would be a boat I would consider. I appreciate your video showing the boat.
That’s an outstanding aluminum Ranger,which I have not seen in person but my brother has the Ranger Z520R fiberglass and your 208 Alpha matches and it’s hard to tell the difference 😮🤷🏻♂️👍😎👍🍀🎣🍀 Best Of Success in the Opens James, and I have met Forrest Woods at a couple of The Forrest Wood Cup and I am glad to see Ranger is still creating a Great Aluminum Model and I hope they continue the tradition of quality we all enjoy and expect from Ranger💯👏👏👏
Thanks for the walkthrough, the boat is attractive for sure. Got me rethinking my next boat
Oh hell na What a last name 😂😂😂😂
Love that aluminum Ranger. That's a boat I could buy. Aluminum=MegaDurable

I wonder if Ranger Boat is going to have the same problem of cracking the hull as vexus has?
That Ranger looks awesome

Looking forward to see this one in person and riding around in it….soon!
That thing looks legit
Looks really nice but I’ll stick to my Lund Pro V Bass 2075. Can’t go wrong. Proven fishing machine.
Nice boat James great review 👍

Nice RIg… Man can you imagine if I had your last name? 🤣🤣🤣😆😆😆 I would be straight Famous..
I like how straightforward it is. It is a pure fishing machine and the features reflect it.
How does it ride compared to the 520R in rough water? I have a 520R.
My goodness I'd Love to have that baby!!! Excited to see further videos!
I knew you was about 3" taller than me ya wascal. LOL.

You can't do a walk-through and not open any compartments..

My gosh, aluminum boats are same price as glass boats were 5 years ago.
I would go with the Gator Trax Strike Series !!

Been fortunate enough to fish outta this boat…. It is slick!!!
Great video. What’s the top speed?
Where did you buy the boat
I always like storage layout and how one stores his gear
Congrats. I'm in the northwest, I love aluminium boats
I love the upgrades
