2026 Ranger VS1682SC Angler

The Ranger VS1682SC Angler is a 16.67-foot center console built to handle rough water while maintaining the maneuverability and features expected in a smaller platform. The deep V hull design, reinforced with upgraded pultruded fiberglass throughout the interior, delivers strength and a good strength-to-weight ratio. The eight-foot beam provides stability and working room on deck. Power comes from a single Mercury Marine 115 horsepower gasoline engine, paired with a 25-gallon fuel tank.

The boat is rigged for serious fishing. Standard equipment includes hydraulic steering, power trim at both the console and bow, aerated livewell compartments fore and aft, a fiberglass console, pop-up cleats, and flush-mounted throttle control. The rear well is divided to separate live bait from the main livewell area. Storage compartments are distributed throughout the boat to handle tackle and gear.

The layout prioritizes on-water fishing space and accessibility. The wide beam and deep V hull work together to maintain a smooth ride in choppy conditions while the elevated freeboard helps keep water off the deck. Substantial storage and large, aerated wells support extended time on the water.
