Owned a Ranger for 4 years……never again
Bought a 2018 RT198 P brand new, first month of ownership starter would stay cranking after starting boat, fried 1 starter, they replaced starter and ignition switch. Got it.
Back and it happened again, I would have to disconnect battery to stop it. They put new wiring harness in, cured that problem. Coin box lid didnt fit and rubbed pretty bad. Then it cracked in keel i, warranty repair weld that looked like seagull dung about 3 feet long.
3 months later, cracked again. This time they had it for 8 months and built me a 2023 hull and trailer. I was happy with that. When i picked it up, dealer did 0 rigging, my batteries were gone.
So i get basspro gift card for the batteries value. Right around 3000 miles on brand new 2023 trailer, catastrophic wheel bearing failure, almost caught fire. Stranded at boat ramp for 9 hours while dealing with mobile mechanic whom had to chase down a replacement axle and got e running for $1050.00. Emailed RANGER warranty whom Ive been dealing with n for years and told them what happened and requested they pay for repair.
They said should towed the boat to a dealer so they could inspect the failure What i ended up doing, towed. The boat to a vexus dealer and got rid of it!!! Worst boat experience of my life. Ranger boats are garbage!!!
I recommend to any hone thinking of buying a boat, DO NOT BUY a white river marine group boat. The quality is trash

I bought the titanic of ranger boughts
Purchased new, 3 days later dropped into water to discover a major leak in the hydraulic steering left me drifting with no steering. Also broken live-well switch filling with no end in sight.
And to top it off, power pole pump leaking in the rear. This is all before I owned the boat for 4 days and even put 3 minutes on the motor. Of course, Ranger basically told me to pound sand and that's what warranties are for.
I will do everything possible to keep even 1 person from buying a boat from Ranger! I'm stuck with it now, probably be using the seat cushion as a flotation device in a month the way its going!
User's recommendation: Easy, go with anyone else if you want quality!

Verified Reviewer | Annandale, MinnesotaCracked welds on transom and keel of the ranger 1788vx
DAfter purchasing my 2019 ****vx ranger I noticed that first fall that my bilge pump was kicking on and off very frequently.i winterized and shrink wrapped the boat assuming that it was a live well issue or something simple,I couldn't have been more wrong.turns out it was inequality of welds that had passed through the quality control at ranger manufacturing.so I sent my ranger back to ranger in April of 2021 ,my boat was returned to me on July 15 of 2021 to find out it leaked as bad as when I shipped my boat back to ranger.so it was shipped back to ranger to be evaluated by ranger staff.it was evaluated sent to repair facility and was deemed to be fixed.upon my boats return to the power lodge in brained mn,the power lodge noticed ranger didn't complete the repairs that had been foreworded to ranger previously two times.so the rest of the repairs were completed by a collision repair company here in Minnesota.now I am at a loss for what can be done in this matter.i have no confidence of this boat not sinking.the repairs I have not been able to put to test.the integrity that ranger once held is gone in my eyes and from looking online it is warranted.so I have contacted lawyers they have filled a claim not a lawsuit.but haven't had any response after 4 weeks from ranger. Ranger know this ur deep pockets and increadible lawyers can fight anything in court,but u have woken a monster bullheaded pissed off consumer that has now cancelled all plans of vacations this summer to plan on being at all bass pro shops national walleye tour locations this summer to publicly inform all that can see and listen to the atrocities that I and many others are experiencing from the purchase off a new aluminum ranger boat.putting bandaids on open wounds is not acceptable.rangers integrity bull -----.my life and those of the people that fish with me in my boat should be first and foremost in rangers responsibility.not compensation!!!waiting for a catastrophic outing should not be what it takes to get the right reaction from ranger.hope it doesn't have to happen for ranger to own their mistakes.unhappy ranger boat owner.
Preferred solution: Hull replacement
User's recommendation: Absolutely don't purchase ranger aluminum boats.

same exact thing with my 188P bought this year at Boat City Hammond. storages soaked.
they attempted 3 different times to repair. they have given up.
Ranger had not contacted me or the dealer. To say the least....Im not happy at all
The exact same thing happened with our new Ranger RT188 front three compartments sopping wet. Been very disappointed with the entire boat so much so we traded it in and went back to a Nitro fiberglass Z18.
Lost about $5,000 in the entire mess.
Beware if you are looking at Rangers. Not worth the money.
