NEW FOR 2010: RANGER Z521 COMANCHE The long-awaited addition to Ranger’s Z500 Series arrives in style
FLIPPIN, Ark. – Ranger’s all-new Z521 Comanche follows in the rich
lineage of the most popular series of bass boats in modern bass fishing history.
It’s a line with multiple “Best in Class,” “Editor’s Choice” and “Excellence in
Design” awards from today’s most respected industry publications already to its
credit. Delivering the same top-end performance and handling, racecar-inspired
design and trend-setting amenities to the 21-foot bass boat segment, the latest
member of the Z500 Series ushers in yet another benchmark in high-performance,
competitive bass rigs.
“From the moment we introduced the Z500 series, this is the boat that so many
anglers have been asking about,” said Ranger Boats President Randy Hopper.
“We’re excited to unveil this new rig and share the results of so much angler
input. On top of so many new interior features, it’s an exceptionally
responsive design with a great ride and ultra solid feel on and off plane.
The Z521 Comanche measures an efficient-yet-spacious 21 feet, 3 inches in length
with a 95-inch beam for the sturdiest fishing platform of any high-performance
model in production. Rated for 250 horsepower, the Z521 is available with a wide
range of precision-matched outboards to meet the preferences of anglers across
the country, while a 52 gallon fuel capacity ensures plenty of range for long
runs in search of fish.
The interior is highlighted by a completely redesigned console that’s not only
taller for more protection, but offers built-in mounting options for today’s
popular, large-screened electronics directly above the steering wheel –
eliminating the need for gimbal and swivel mounts in most cases. The redesigned
consoles also integrate a stylish-yet-functional concave beveling on the
outside, allowing the tips of rods stored on the front deck to stay more secure
while in use. With tons of storage throughout, the Z521 incorporates the same
stainless steel key lock system with powerful compression locks and
triple-lip-sealed storage lockers as previous Z500 models, keeping gear
extremely dry and delivering comforting peace of mind.
Other new features include an integrated front deck step with storage, which can
be used for tackle and gear or thanks to a gel coated, insulated interior – an
additional cooler. Z521 owners can also choose between Ranger’s patented SRS
bench seat design or opt for a new bucket seat configuration, which in place of
a third, middle seat features a console with storage and cup holders.
Like all Ranger boats, the Z521 Comanche comes paired with its own custom-built
and serial-number-specific RangerTrail trailer. Designed to perfectly match the
boat to ensure years of smooth, easy towing and maneuvering, the Z521 Comanche’s
trailer is equipped with Road Armor finish, L.E.D. lights, new aluminum mag
wheels and COOL Hub® lubrication system as standard equipment. Designed and
built in the same factory and to the same exacting specifications as all Ranger
boats, RangerTrail trailers are custom aligned with individually balanced
wheels, feature swing jacks that retract flush to the frame as well as torsion
axle suspension and locking, swing-away tongues. With matching fiberglass
fenders and matching spare, the RangerTrail trailer delivers peace of mind when
trailering and complement the striking good looks of Ranger boats.

About Ranger Boats Ranger Boats, headquartered in Flippin, Ark., is the nation's largest
manufacturer of premium fiberglass fishing boats, including a series of bass,
multi-species, fish 'n play and saltwater boats. Founded in 1968 by Forrest L.
Wood, Ranger Boats continues its commitment to building the highest-quality,
strongest-performing boats on the water.
FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
NEW FOR 2010: RANGER 2310 BAY All-new saltwater flagship combines best-in-class features, performance
FLIPPIN, Ark. – Saltwater anglers across the country have quickly come to
recognize Ranger Boats as the market leader in performance-minded inshore
fishing boats. It’s a hard earned distinction built largely on Ranger’s
commitment to improving product through feedback from tournament anglers, elite
captains and guides. Capitalizing on this feedback, Ranger’s acclaimed design
staff recently unveiled the new 2310 Bay – a completely new design built to
dominate the inshore fishing scene.
Following the popularity of the previously introduced 2410 Bay Ranger, the new
2310 brings updated features and even more distinctive aesthetic details to
anglers who prefer a slightly smaller, more maneuverable rig. Ideal for anglers
along the Gulf Coast and other popular inshore fishing destinations, the 2310
Bay Ranger measures a comfortable 23 feet, 4 inches and is rated for a maximum
300 horsepower. Like all Ranger designs, the 2310 is available with a wide
range of precision-matched outboards to meet the preferences of anglers in all
regions.
Boasting 80 gallons of fuel capacity, the 2310 gives anglers the freedom to make
long runs in search of redfish, snook, tarpon or any other hard-charging inshore
saltwater species while also maintaining enough power, performance and range to
run beyond the bays and backwater to offshore rigs and reefs. Designed with an
increased amount of bow flare, the 2310 gives passengers what engineers are
calling the smoothest, driest ride on the water.
When it comes to fishability, the 2310 Bay Ranger benefits from an ultra modern
sheer line which produces a large front casting deck with minimal gunnel height
– ideal characteristics for fighting and maneuvering fish. And when anchored
from the bow, the 2310 gives anglers another added bonus – a rear deck designed
with a full transom, eliminating the need for a splash well and offering more
efficient space to fish.
“Whether you’re fishing the highest-level redfish or tarpon tournaments or
guiding saltwater anglers in search of their first snook, overall space,
performance and fishability are vital the overall success and enjoyment of the
trip,” said accomplished Ranger Saltwater Pro Artie Price Jr., whose team has
amassed more than a half-million dollars in tarpon tournament winnings over the
past decade. “The new 2310 Bay Ranger is the perfect size for drifting for
tarpon in the bays with plenty of room to handle big, tournament-winning fish.
Plus, it’s maneuverable enough to take into the backcountry and target tailing
redfish and snook around the mangroves. The intuitive design of the boat’s
interior means that I can keep the appropriate gear for any of these situations
on board at all times without running out of room.”
Other interior highlights include a new, angler-friendly console designed to
accommodate big, modern electronics favored by hardcore inshore anglers. The
console also integrates three stand-up, rocket launcher-style rod holders on
each side and a forward-mounted, removable cooler that doubles as a comfortable
seating location while under way. Just aft of the console, a new leaning post
not only provides more rod storage with four additional rod holders, but also
features built-in dry storage for trolling motor batteries and breaker switches
– freeing up more space throughout the boat for extra gear.
With multiple passengers on board, the 2310 provides another unique feature –
stowable jump seats that can be deployed in a matter of seconds. The unique
design allows for extra seating locations when necessary and folds flush out of
the way when not in use.
Equipped with a custom-built, tandem-axle, aluminum RangerTrail trailer
featuring LED lights, the 2310 Bay Ranger is easier to maneuver and enjoys the
smooth trailering benefits of custom alignment and individually balanced wheels.
Up front, the center swing jack retracts flush to the frame and creates a more
balanced load, making it even more secure on the trailer. Combined with matching
fenders, new aluminum mag wheels, matching spare, exclusive oil bath COOL Hub®
lubrication system, torsion axle suspension, and swing-away tongue, the
RangerTrail trailer delivers long-lasting peace of mind and easy towing. Capacities and Specifications
Overall Hull Length: 23 feet, 4 inches Beam: 100 inches Draft: 14 inches Maximum HP: 300 Engine Shaft Length: 25 inches Inside Depth: 17 inches Fuel Capacity: 80 gallons Total Persons/Motor/Gear: 2,400 lbs. Approx. Boat Weight: 2,750 lbs.
