Rangers are Not better than my boat, mine is the best they come... Paid for.     Honestly though, I'd love to have a Ranger but for my dollar, there are some really nice rigs at half the cost, low 20K's that do just as good without the "bling" and status that comes with a Ranger.  The best boat for you should depend more on what you need to efficiently and comfortably fish your primary waters, I fish a lot of smaller lakes and often fish alone, plus, I have a smaller tow vehicle (2k lbs tow cap), why would I want a big heavy fiberglass beast to mess with at the ramp for?  Would drive me nuts.  But if my waters were big water like Millacs or Green Bay, then I can justify looking at a ranger[/QUOTE]

You can find many Rangers in the price range you mentioned.  You look on this board and mostly you see 620's a few years old, but there's tons of options beyond those models and years.  Rangers do hold their value, but you ain't got to break the bank.[/QUOTE]
