Ranger 520R - Pics

[westexbill]

Same color scheme as my 2020 cup boat I believe, several things I dont like but the splash well looks a lot easer to keep clean. I think I will just keep mine.

Thanks for posting the pics. From the first pics of the other post it looked like the dual graphs were flush mounted but these confirm they’re not. Was hoping for flush mounts....I over worry about exposed wires.

From a distance would be really hard to say that’s a 520c, that’s a 520l and that’s a 520r, other than the he consoles and trim on the back.

Gorgeous boat - I wonder where the price will be but I'm sure it's out of my league.

Lots to like esp. the rear of the boat - splash well & recessed ladder, the dual graphs is an intriguing idea, the lower gunnels (until I dump a rod over) - overall it looks faster, leaner, meaner. The two things that I'm not so sure about are the very 'upright / vertical' consoles and those rigid seat backs look like squeaky trouble ... but then again all I'm going off are these pics - need to see it in person first before I have any definitive thoughts.

I like it. And I hope that it is a completely different hull. I would love to see a 521R that runs mid to high 70s.

I hope they've made the slide design better, both of mine in my current boat came loose and I know others have had the same issue in the L boats.

nice

Not seeing that

people were saying this on FB too. I don’t see it either. I think the seats look good and hopefully they address one of the most common complains I hear about the L boat. I think there is a lot to like here. Boat looks good.

Overall very disappointing. Looks like they just took ideas from other brands. RIP Ranger

This was the only pic I have of the front. Wish I had one straight on, but Cabela’s police were circling

Those seats and console scream Nitro.

I thought the same thing.

I still say it looks good. Thanks for posting pics

Hull shape looks similar to C and L's if not identical. Behind a truck is the only place you'll see those speeds

Like other manufacturers haven't stole a few ideas from Ranger... They make a new boat and you say RIP?

Exactly!!!!

[shollz]

Was there a 521R there?

It has reached a point where they all "steal" things from one another. The bass boat is a pretty mature product, and unless someone develops a revolutionary new material or something there's not a lot of all-new ideas to be discovered. I think back over the years, and there have only been a handful of real game-changing new concepts from the 1970's till now. Everything has improved, but it's hard to come up with something that will reinvent the market. It seems like a lot of the current upgrades are being made to accommodate all the accessories and electronics more than to improve the boat's performance.
