ranger 681vs

[SIMPLEMAN]

anyone own or fish from one of these boats. from my research, they have great reviews. need pros or cons please, i'm getting close to a deal. their lakes freeze quick up there and these boats go fast. 115 merc. thanks for the help.

I own a 681C and LOVE it. I couldnt find a VS or I'da bought it first. A 681 works good with 2 people...would be tight with 3 though.

gabowman, i'm pretty sure i couldn't find three peple that would want to fish with me. lol. i thought for some reason you had a 617. whats the difference in a c and the vs?

[Fishawk]

I have a 617DVS, the D stands for dual consel the VS is a set back transome. The C would stand for consel steering rather than tiller. I have a friend who has had a 618VS with a merc 115 four stroke, he's owned it for 10 or 11 years and he loves it.

thanks fishawk. that clears that up.

My dad and i used to own one.We traded it on a 520DVX and regret the day we did it. They are a serious fishing boat you wont regret it if ya get one.

They must be great boats because it's extremely hard to find a clean one.

[SIMPLEMAN]

thanks folks. guess i'll go make my call.
