2025 Ranger VS1682SC Angler

The Ranger VS1682SC Angler is a 16.7-foot sportfishing boat built around a deep V hull designed to handle rough water and swells while maintaining stability in a compact footprint. The hull features upgraded pultruded fiberglass construction inside and out, engineered for strength and weight efficiency. With a beam of 8 feet, the boat delivers a wide, stable platform for fishing operations and gear handling.

Standard equipment reflects serious fishing intent. The boat comes with hydraulic steering, power trim and tilt at both the console and bow, a fiberglass console, dual aerated livewells—one forward and one aft with divided sections for bait—and substantial tackle storage fore and aft. Pop-up cleats keep lines from snagging on the gunnels. The 25-gallon fuel tank supports extended time on the water.

Powered by a single Mercury Marine 90-horsepower gasoline engine, the VS1682SC is rated for up to 115 horsepower, giving room to adjust power to your preference. The boat combines workspace and fishability with the dry ride and smooth handling the deep V hull provides in significant water conditions. Flush-mounted throttle control and thoughtful storage layout complete the practical design.
