I agree though...an 1860 with a 175 would be a nice ride...I just think the hulls of an 07 619 would cut thru waves a bit better...but for the money an 1860 Angler would be a nice rig..with a tandem trailer..not sure why they show it on the website with single axle for boat that big with that motor...but anyway[/QUOTE]

the 1860 hull is not the same as the 618 tiller hull..(I looked at them quite a bit when I was in the market last year) ..the 1860 Angler hull is the same as the Reatta...at 18'6" x 98"...the 618 tiller hull is 18'4" x 90"
I know boat builders have been building boats wider and wider the last few years but why the need for a beam at almost 100" wide...? sure they are stable but imo a wider boat catches more of the waves in the rough stuff and can make cutting thru waves harder...maybe not..if Ranger built an updated 690 I bet they'd get some takers...they still have the mold!! build it or put a console set back in the 618 tiller hull with a 150 and that would be a sweet ride...imo
