I was wondering if any of you fellow Musky guys have experience with this boat?

I just sold my Tuffy and am ready to buy a new boat---

My first choice was a Skeeter MX1825 fully loaded----46K out the door....

Second choice Ranger 1880 fully loaded in the 50K range...

The Ranger 1780vs fully loaded is around the 32K Range---

Coming from Fiberglass I realize the trade off coming down to Aluminum (A rougher/wetter ride on windy days) ----but the Ranger 1780VS seems to have a real nice open Musky layout---good speed--mid 40s -casting deck larger on front than my Tuffy 1760---and back casting deck much better with 97 inch beam..--and ability to pay for in cash without financing is alluring......

Anyone run this boat or run in one--or fish in one?
