    We have a Ranger Cherokee (aluminum boat) and have had very good luck with it!!! I would recommend one to anyone who is wanting a aluminum boat. I would also check out the G3 boats too, they look to be very nice. More homework for you! LOL!

    I've looked at a couple Cherokees if I'm not mistaken Lowe made those for Ranger. The new ones are made in Flippin Ark. by Ranger. I have a Lowe 170W and love it. But the new Ranger RT will be my next boat, I almost pulled the trigger at Collinsville on a new one, but my son was there to pull me back down to earth.

    I had a crestliner (06) 1850 cmv. and also had several glass rangers. The crestliner had a better ride and there was not one thing about it that I didn't like. They don't make that version anymore. I thought that crestliner used to make the cherokee.

    If I was going to buy another Aluminum boat my first choice would be a Lund, my second choice would be a Lowe. I really don't think they make a more solid aluminum boat than Lund. If they do I have not seen it.

    Look at the lowe. I have the 175 stinger love it would of got the 195 but my home lake hp limit is 75 And the predator by sea ark is a bad arse machine too. I went to several boat shows and dealers Check them all out. Looking is free lol. If I had the money I'd pick up an old ranger 690 with a 150 . Heck that may have been cheaper

    I have a 2004 Explorer and looked at Lunds last weekend. They don't seem to be as solid as they used to be. The aluminum seems thinner or there is less insulation or something.
