Nice rig! I got back into a Ranger (Z521) last year and love it. As far as the electronics go spend some time on You tube, I know I have! Also check out the BBC boards, lots of good info sharing on there for Ranger owners.

Stay safe and tight lines.

Thanks! Yes, the vids are a big help as are the BBC boards. I appreciate the heads up.

Thanks for the reply Dad. Where did you hide the wings for that boat. With that 250 you will be flying for sure.

As another said: be safe, and next pic, hope to see what you reeled in.

I used to fish the lakes around Blue Ridge, Ga. , Carters, Nottely, Chatuge, and Blue Ridge lake quite often. Been 10 years and these lakes have changed and now I'm back in the fishing mode once again. Hoping to gain some knowledge from some of the guys that have kept up on the fishing patterns. Been here 46 years and at 71 yrs young, I'm ready to catch a few fish again.
Thanks and save a few for seed. ;)

Welcome Dad. Beautiful country you have back there. If that’s a recent picture you are a young 71. And that boat, holy cow! No I’m not jealous much.

Have any of you ranger owners out there heard that parts are becoming unavailable for your boats? I have heard that they are in some trouble and could quite possibly be out of the market within a few years. Research it further before you buy. Jonny also produces Triton and Stratus along with Ranger out of their Flippin plant.
Sounds like Forrest Woods new boat company Vexus, may be out performing his former company. I was told by an owner of a 4 year old boat, that they cannot get parts. That isn't a good sign.

Thanks Fish Dancer

Sure have enjoyed my life here in the N. Ga. Mountains. I'm a outdoors type and this area has been a blessing to have lived and raised my family.
The pic is a bit blurry which hides the wrinkles. Lol

Hey good man. I know all about dialysis. It’s tedious and I hope you can get a transplant. It’s great you can enjoy fishing. I’m happy for you. A few I caught at a friends pond. The fishing is fun

Beautiful Bass Breamkeeper, we're chomping at the bitt up here in frozen land. Supposed to see a couple of 60°days next week, hopefully start softening up our hard water. Thanks for the pictures!
