2025 Ranger Z518

The 2025 Ranger Z518 is an 18-foot bay boat built on a fiberglass hull with an 8-foot beam. Power comes from a single gasoline engine, with a standard 150-horsepower Mercury or optional 200-horsepower V8 FourStroke available. The boat features a foam-filled core and strategically placed pultruded fiberglass for structural rigidity and a unified feel throughout.

The casting deck is oversized at 97 inches wide, providing a stable working platform. Storage is extensive: twin 8-foot rod boxes run along the sides, a gelcoat-lined insulated cooler sits in-deck on the starboard side, and additional gear storage is integrated into the starboard side. The console is fitted with precision gauges and accommodates electronics displays up to 12 inches, finished with matte black accents.

Fishing-focused features include a recessed trolling motor pedal, integrated LED navigation lights, and SRS Soft-Ride seating. Standard push-to-close latches replace older twist designs. A Ranger Trail trailer is included as standard equipment.
