| If you're referring to an older Ranger 681vs - yes, that is a possibility. However, I looked at several last year and found most with older 2 strokes that would probably need to be re-powered. I found one in particular where they had re-powered with a newer Etec but the wood floor was soft in one area. Ranger made the composite transoms in that era but the floors and side consoles were wood. Others I looked at needed things like re-wiring, replacing all old electronics, in need of a new trailer, etc.
It can be done, but I'm afraid if you buy and add in expenses to get it up to speed your looking at $20k + for a boat that is 12-15 years old or more and will probably need more stuff over time. Would rather pay a little more for something new and under warranty. I can budget for that, but not for lots of little (and some big things) over time. After having completed one boat reclamation project before, not sure I have the patience to do it again... but yeah a 681vs is still a possibility.
