    Ranger 451v space/comfort

    Can anyone post some pics of them in a 451v with rods, tackle, gear and maybe a buddy so I can have an idea how much room I have? Anyone who has had one, how do the fish?

    I fished a few tournaments in one back in the 1990’s. I had a 361-V at the time and they both fished the same and storage was the same. The 451-V was a bit of a hod-rod as Rangers go. It was the replacement for the 340-V but rode better. I really liked it.

    Used to fish outa the back of one regularly back in the 90s. Friend had a 93 model he ordered new. Not the best riding boat, not the quickest boat but they fish just fine and have ample storage for two if you don’t pack the kitchen sink.

    I ran a 481V with a 175 and it was a bit faster and rode a little better but had about the same exact storage in it.

    Back in the day a 7’ rod was the biggest with the majority being 5’ to 6’ palm handle’s that easily fit in the short lockers.
