When I am using the double seat up front that's the only seats I have with me. I have a pedestal and butt seat for the front and back for bass fishing or casting etc. Storage hasn't been problem, and I have too much junk!!

I'm sorry you had a bad experience with Lowe I'm on my 4th, never had any issues . The newest one 175 stinger had the weld up front crack right down the middle. I dropped it off at the dealer , He had it repaired, paint matched and brought back to my house. My other Lowe is a rough neck 3rd one I've had. I beat the tar out of it duck hunting call it the battle barge. Never had any problems. I guess they are like cars and trucks theres bound to be a few with quality issues.
I have looked at them both as well. Ranger hands down, one word Quality. You get what you pay for.Quote:

I am moving to Glass this year, just gotta pick it up at the dealer in the next couple of weeks. I have visited 3 plants and believe me Ranger is not the company they once were.

As far as glass goes, don't know to many Ranger owners who are unhappy with what they paid for. Try and find a glass boat with the resale value of a ranger. Must be the R that keeps them holding their value.Quote:
