Location: Sun Prairie, Wisconsin | I had a chance to see one last weekend. It's ironic since a good friend of mine recently restored a 681C... I fished out of the 681 in June and thought it was a wonderful "old" musky boat. Can't believe how much the 175 seems like an excellent reincarnation of the 681 series.
Let's see... low to the water for easy figure 8's, storage for GREAT BIG musky rods, a 50 inch live well, a fantastic hull... seems like a great musky boat to me.
Ok, If I fished really big water It wouldn't be my first choice.
However, the lakes I fish ( 2800 acres or less) it wouldn't be an issue. Especially if the economy ever get's going and gas prices rise to over 4 dollars a gallon.
My only issue? Ranger needs to make a wheel version of this boat with about a 130hp max... They would sell a million of them... I'd be the first one to order that boat!
