Congrats on the new boat!
I finally got my ranger 223F and love it , loaded it out and for me it's awesome for bass fishing , 200 mercury 4 stroke , ghost tm with 3 lithiums , two live wells and double lowerance units . Not cheap I have $70,000.00 in this boat without a trailer but that includes all options and installs and taxes .
Did you get your boat setup the way you wanted?
I just got a great deal on a 2150 I couldn’t pass up. It came with the fishing package, Kicker stereo system and a bunch of goodies the original owner threw in. I love how wide the boat is and the seating for 11 people. Think she’s going to be a keeper!
Almost done. Terrova 80 60" shaft, batteries and charger are installed and just bought a minn kota DC charger that I need to get installed. I also have to install the Helix 7 I kept from the Ranger.
I didn't get the fishing package on mine so at some point I'll install a butt seat up front, just not high on the list right now, I saved almost $1000 not getting that factory fishing package and got better equipment doing it afterwards.
Overall I'm happy with it, my gripe is that the only dry place on the entire boat is the locker under the sink, and that needs a little weather stripping around the door to make 100%.
What year/motor HP is the one you bought?

Boat is a 2019 with a Mercury 150. I was visiting family in Louisiana last week when I saw it listed in Conroe Texas on Marketplace. Luckily I was the first to respond to his ad as he just listed it for sale. Drove to Conroe on Tuesday and looked it over. Took it for a test drive, then we went to my bank and I gave him a cashiers check for $27,000, paid in full the BBC way.
Motor only had 44 hours on it. Pulls good with 5 people so far. Rides well, at least at Conroe and Toledo Bend. Real test will be this weekend on Lake Lanier which is usually an ocean on weekends with boat traffic. Boat was recently serviced and he gave me 10 life jackets, tubes, ropes, paddle and flare gun. I’m happy with the boat and the deal I got as most that I’ve seen for sale are over $40,000. Only complaint I had was filling up the tank on the boat and truck driving back to Georgia. That was expensive!
How do you lay all of your rods up there when you are bass fishing?
I don’t fish bass tournaments, I just fish for fun. Even when I had a bass boat and 20 rods in the locker the most I used in a day was maybe 3 to 5 fishing rods. Never did keep fishing poles on the deck in my Bass boat as I hate clutter. Boat has side storage for three rods on the driver side and has a huge ski locker which I could probably put 20 poles in there but I’m not going to. Again I just fish for fun and will also use the boat to hang out with friends and family which is why I love this boat, multipurpose, compared to other boats that I’ve owned in the past that was only good for one thing.
Great looking boat . Awesome layout .
Doesn't matter if you fish tournaments or not, what if you are throwing a buzzbait or spinnerbait, then want to pick up a frog and throw into some grass or pads you just came up on, or pick up a Texas rig to pitch into a lay down, or you see some fish down deep on your graph and want to throw a spoon or drop shot down there? Do you go too the rod locker and change out one rod every time?
Nice, that is a great price compared to what the used ones have been going for lately.
That center console pic is where I want to put my seat, just need to figure out which base and pedestal to use.

Bass Pro Shop has the 4x8 pedestal seat base that fits perfectly in the same spot as the CC boats. https://www.basspro.com/shop/en/bass...E&gclsrc=aw.ds
