a 2000 ranger 520 measured just behind the bow pedestal? Looking for a wide older heavy boat to spider rig with that wont bounce me out in a 10mph wind. Other suggestions welcomed.

I am not sure the width but I know I can set my rig in one of them 520s.
Not gonna be many if any wider thats for sure
I fish a tracker with double pedestals and a 52" spread up front. If I swivel to the outside im subject to getting wet. All boat specs give the beam width but none tell how wide up front where we sit. Guess the spider riggers are not yet a big enough market share.
Pretty spacious where I sit.
A lot of bow pedestals are more forward than we as crappie fisherman like, more suited to a bass fishing style. There is no law saying that is where you have to sit, my double seat set up is close to 12 inches behind my rear bow pedestal (my boat has 2, one way forward). I never have understood having 10 feet of front deck and wanting sit on the most forward 2 foot of it. Longer poles may be in order but in a 520 that wont be an issue either.
As you can tell by the answers so far, you better call someone that owns a Ranger 520, or contact Ranger direct. Lol
Without any hesitation, I will tell you that it will seem like a football field compared to your Tracker, which like the pervious answers means "I don't know". [emoji12]
That front seat mount is for bass fishermen who prefer hand controlled trolling motors.
:Rofl:Rofl:Rofl He will here a helicopter coming and go to the back of the boat so it can land!!!!!!!!!Quote:

See yall at Enid.
The 520 and 522 are both about 68" wide at the point where the factory front pedestal is located.
About? Is this another " I don't Know"? [emoji16]Quote:

60+ inches is amazing. Been shopping for one for two years. Seems the pricing is down a little (now that the economy is so strong). Hope to close a deal this week but surgery getting in the way.Quote:
