Ranger Boats, a long time builder of fiberglass fishing boats, has done the tests and compared fiberglass fishing boats to their aluminum counterparts to help buyers find the best value. Money is extremely tight and buying a new boat should be based on affordability, reliablility, functionality, and fishability. When spending your hard earned money you should know the facts.
Ranger disproves the myths.
Some of the myths were 1.) fiberglass is heavier, not true. Ranger fiberglass boats weights paralleled competitive model aluminums. 2.)Fiberglass is not as durable, not true. Ranger Boats One Piece Feel Interloc Construction® standards not only result in a smooth, dry ride, but also deliver a stronger, quieter, and extremely solid overall performance. 3.) Fiberglass is more expensive, also not true. Feature for feature. Detail for detail. Fit and finish. No other design offers so much affordable value. The Ranger Five Star commitment to continually deliver the highest levels of customer satisfaction while setting even stronger standards in performance and fishability has been in place for 40 plus years and that says a ton.
Compare the price, value, performance and standard features of a legendary Ranger to the vulnerable shell of aluminum.
