@xb21BASS ...it's still floating isn't it? and that's with a motor that weighs well over 500lbs plus however many gallonsn of water all of the compartments as well as the belly in the center of the boat hold (at 8lbs per gallon). If it wasn't a Ranger (with a few exceptions), the caption wouldn't say "righting a capsized boat", it would say "scuba diving a shipwreck" cause the sonofabitch would be at the bottom of the lake.
First off, Rangers are superior fishing boats. However this boat was submerged and is nothing like the cut away boat they've been advertising. I agree, if it was another mfg, it might be at the bottom of the lake. This was obviously boater error or something mother nature did that was beyond one's control.
@xb21BASS Full upright level floatation is what they call it. I agree, something or someone turned this boat upside down. You can pull the plug on a ranger, disconnect all bildge pumps and it will sit a few inches lower in the water. Now, if you have a tall waves they could come over the side but it will still sit above the water.
It took on a great deal of water, could not hold anymore I am sure, but it still appears to be floating on the surface even with that heavy motor attached on back. Not sure what some people are expecting when they hear a boat is unsinkable, just the same, i will avoid rocks at high speed.
If this is a Ranger its a very old one. The new ones(within the past 10 years) have hulls filled with a special foam where its virtually impossible to sink, even cut in half.
@w3bbgh0st My 25 year old tide-craft is foam filled. That is not a new thing at all. The boat in this video is foam filled, too. Otherwise it would have sunk.
everything on a boat now days is water proof so he probably wasn't that worried maybe just about losing tackle

I used to fear forgetting the drain plug, but I found out that the boat is just fine without it.

Don't get me wrong, Ranger is a great boat but this real world accident is nothing how the cut away boat video looks like.

You dumbasses are acting like it's the brand of boat's fault... hahaha. Not the operator.
I don't even have a ranger, but I know they're a high quality boat.
The company that owns ranger, also owns stratos which owns champion, trition, .
Basscat or Legend is the way to go.....
Legend's quality is supposed to be the best of all.
