Triton makes a good boat. The trolling motor might be a little light for a boat that heavy. 71 pounds will be ok most days, but when the wind gets up, you'll be wanting more tm.
Make sure you keep oil in that Merc. :biggrin
Thx speck, my f and f sure did good on rough water, wonder how these boats do? Also eyeing that 690 on the board, I sure do like that setup
What's those boats bringing ?Quote:

You WILL NOT be able to beat the ride of that 690
Absolutely no way I'd be looking at any other boat that has the same price tag as that 690, there ain't any comparison in the two. Put it this way, a bunch crappie fishing Triton owners out there wishing they had a ranger fisherman, willing to bet there ain't no ranger fisherman owners wishing they had a tritonQuote:

Looks like I sent him on a goose chase, boat wasn't there anymore, should have stopped the other day when I saw it and got the info but knew I wasn't gonna get it and at that time didn't know of anyone in the market for one.
16k is Waaaaaaaaay to high for any 99 model!!!!!Quote:

One MS specific related issue for any deep v hull to consider... The nose is so deep, it's impossible to nose into the corp lakes far/close enough not to get your feet wet. For the young and spry, no big deal I suppose, but for an older fella....like G, for example, it might be a huge issue. Or even if you fish with a lot of geezers. Also, if u get one and it doesn't have a hambys or at least a keel guard of some sort, you are asking for heart burn.
Wannabe...
Well, here's my .02. When we were boat hunting, every Ranger we checked out had a Hamby's keel protector. I'm assuming they came from the factory that way. The first time we took our 619vs (which is the 06 version of the 690) to Grenada, I was worried about picking Paul up at the ramp. Well, here's the deal, I nosed up directly on the ramp and when Paul stepped in, the boat barely moved. It didn't roll to the side, it just sat there, solid as a rock. Now, if you haven't seen Paul, he's 6'7" and 300+ pounds. Did the same thing when we loaded up and the first thing I did afterward was look at the bottom of the hull. It was just a pretty as it was before we launched.
The quality of the Ranger exceeds any boat I have ever owned or fished out of. Ranger boats hold their value very well and the fact that it has a newer motor on it is a plus. If you haven't already, get on walleye central's classifieds and compare. Also do a search on their forums for the year boat you're looking at because I'm sure there will be some discussions on it.
You are quite welcome to take a ride in ours, if you'd like. It's 8 years old and looks newer. No stress cracks and I can't say enough about how solid it is. We were on Grenada at spring camp when the lake was ROLLING, just to see how it would do and we were impressed.
Bottom line is what are you willing to pay for it and be happy with your decision. Since we bought ours, the Evinrude blew up and we replaced it with a new Yamaha 4 stroke. Not happy about having to spend that money, but this is a keeper boat. We knew when we bought it that when the time came we would re-power instead of selling the whole rig. Just didn't plan on having to re-power so darn soon!
Dang thing is wide too!!!!!!!:Rofl
Larry ask Yikes how Vonna and Paul's boat rides, him and Paul unloaded it after camp that Saturday, only fools at the ramp when Ms Tammy and I drove through. They went for a test ride, Yikes can tell ya the rest.
Thanks Vonna that makes me feel better :) I am here with adjuster now, I just hope I feel good afterwards :) he will tell me whether or not I can proceed to go for the 690 or not :) never had boat claim so I am quiet nervous about thisQuote:

Good Lord Willing we gonna test her out Sunday and make the live well stink! :biggrin
Chris, you know you are more than welcome, when and if you ever get down this area, we will take her out on Pickwick or Bay Springs
Awesome!
I just got off phone with insurance company lol I feel they done me very fair, cant complain but did learn a little, if its attached to the boat, then you better take that in to consideration on the "Agreed Value"
but I still came out ok
thanks to all for the kind words and the info on the boat, I am excited to see the boat and certainly hope it meets my expectations

Vonna, if I dont like it, you're to blame LOL cause you are the one that sold me on the 690 with the information you posted, I appreciate you taking time to do that :cheers2
That's awesome Larry--welcome to the Ranger Family :)
