    Sounds like a steal. Can't go wrong with a Ranger.

    Jump on it. You will love the ride and the resale value is good on Ranger boats. Mine is 21 years old, looks like crap but fishes and rides great....Dennis

    it's a 16 ft boat and has got a 90 on it. the nada is from $7530-$8560.

    i liked the setup a lot. i'm just wondering if i'll regret buying something this small.

    If I ever buy a fiberglass boat it will deflnitely be a Ranger. I have rode in a lot of boats and Ranger's are hard to beat for a smooth ride and quality.

    AJ,
    There is a difference in the R61 and the 680 when it comes to space. The R61 has more deck space and the 680 has more floor space. Coming from someone that crappie fishes 90% of the time and has owned a 17' Stratos, similar to the R61 (now own a Ranger 620 and love it), I do not think it will have the room you are looking for. I made due with the Stratos for a couple years (saying choice words everytime I went out. Just my .02.
