2025 Ranger VS1782SC Angler

The 2025 Ranger VS1782SC Angler is a 17-foot 8-inch fishing boat built to handle open water with a stable, wide platform. Its aluminum hull is filled with foam throughout and reinforced with a wood-free robotically welded transom, delivering solid construction and flotation that exceeds Coast Guard standards. Pultruded fiberglass material runs throughout the design for added strength from bow to stern.

The cockpit features rugged vinyl flooring, while the forward section is carpeted in marine-grade material—both designed to stay functional and attractive over time. A sturdy fiberglass console provides the control center, with skid-resistant, easy-to-clean surfaces throughout. Storage is abundant across the boat, allowing you to bring all the gear needed for a full day on the water.

The angler-focused layout prioritizes both comfort and function. A 12-gallon front baitwell and a divided, aerated 29-gallon rear livewell give you plenty of bait and catch capacity and are positioned for easy access. Mesh tackle web lining at the bow keeps smaller items organized and within reach.

Power comes from a single 150-horsepower Mercury Marine outboard engine, paired with a fiberglass hull design that balances performance with stability in various water conditions.
