2026 Ranger VS1782SC Angler

The 2026 Ranger VS1782SC Angler is a 17'8" center console built around the fundamentals of serious fishing. Its substantial 8-foot beam creates a stable platform, and the aluminum hull—0.125 inches thick with full foam flotation—exceeds Coast Guard flotation standards. The wood-free, robotically welded transom and fiberglass console construction deliver solid, durable construction designed to handle open water.

The boat's layout prioritizes both comfort and function. A 12-gallon front baitwell and divided, aerated 29-gallon rear livewell provide ready access for live bait and catch. Rugged vinyl flooring in the cockpit is easy to clean and skid-resistant, while marine-grade carpet covers the bow. Mesh tackle web lining at the bow and massive storage throughout the boat keep gear organized and accessible.

Power comes from a single 150-horsepower Mercury Marine engine. The cockpit and bow are designed for extended time on the water, with the wide, stable platform supporting both angler comfort and working functionality from bow to stern.
