2025 Ranger Z518 Cup-Equipped

The 2025 Ranger Z518 is an 18-foot 10-inch bay boat built on a fiberglass hull with a wide, stable beam of just over 8 feet. It's powered by a single gasoline engine rated at 200 horsepower, delivering strong open-water performance while maintaining the stability needed for trolling motor work and shallow-water operation.

The layout prioritizes fishing functionality with maximized storage throughout the boat, including 8-foot rod boxes for tackle and gear. The console features a full set of precision gauges and can accommodate electronics up to 12 inches, along with integrated LED navigation lights and matte black accents. A recessed trolling motor pedal keeps the deck clear, and SRS Soft-Ride seating is standard for comfort during long days on the water.

New for 2025, the boat uses push-to-close latches in place of twist-to-close designs, eliminating a tripping hazard on deck. The transom is constructed from pultruded fiberglass for durability. The Cup-Equipped package includes a full tournament-ready electronics, trolling motor, and equipment package. A Ranger Trail trailer comes standard with the boat.
