2026 Ranger VS1682SC Angler

The Ranger VS1682 SC Angler is a 16.7-foot fishing boat built with upgraded pultruded fiberglass that delivers strength and rigidity while keeping weight down. The deep V hull is engineered to handle rough water and hold a steady line in swells, while the wide 8-foot beam provides stability and working room on deck. Power comes from a single Mercury Marine 115 hp gasoline engine, paired with a 25-gallon fuel tank.

The boat is outfitted with features designed for serious fishing. Standard equipment includes power trim at the console and bow, hydraulic steering, aerated livewell systems forward and aft, and a fiberglass console. The rear livewell is divided and positioned adjacent to a separate baitwell. Pop-up cleats run the gunnels to prevent snagging, and flush-mounted throttle controls are positioned at the helm. Storage compartments are distributed fore and aft throughout the boat to hold tackle and gear.

The layout prioritizes fishing workspace, with the wide beam and open deck offering ample room to work with fish and manage equipment. Aerated livewell capacity keeps bait fresh for extended outings, while the larger fuel capacity supports long trolling sessions.
