I think any boat is a good boat as long as you take care of it. Some people think they can let them outside, uncovered, in the elements and expect them to last. Now I know a Ranger is a Ranger, but I have seen some pretty nice Nitro's on the water and fished out of some of them too. When taken care of......they are fine. The problem with all of em are price! I can't see spending the amounts of money that any of the manufactures are getting for these things when you can look on craigslist or even on CDC and see some pretty nice boats for $6000-$8000 dollars (ex. XXLFISH's boat). All of my boats have been used boats and if you put a little time and effort into them they can look just as good as any boat on the water. Just an opinion.
If people concentrated on the really important things in life, there'd be a shortage of fishing poles.:rolleyes:
