2020 Ranger Z185

The 2020 Ranger Z185 is an 18-foot, 8-inch bay boat built on a fiberglass hull and powered by a single Mercury 150 hp outboard engine. The design prioritizes stability and functionality, with an unusually wide 96-inch beam that accommodates storage, comfort, and confident handling across varying conditions.

The boat is rigged for serious fishing. Dual rod boxes with gas-spring assists, triple-lip seals, and deep drain channels keep tackle dry and organized. A recessed trolling motor pedal and flush-mounted electronics complement the installed Minn Kota trolling motor. The tournament-grade livewell features timed aeration and divided sections to maintain bait and catch throughout the day.

The hull design incorporates Ranger's Rite-Track Keel for directional stability and control at any speed. Hydraulic steering provides responsive, predictable handling. The interior layout balances practicality with convenience, keeping the boat compact yet functional for extended time on the water.
