2026 Ranger VS1782SC Angler

The VS1782 SC Angler is a 17-foot 8-inch aluminum sportfisher built to handle open water fishing. The 0.125-inch aluminum hull is foam-filled throughout and features a wood-free robotically welded transom, delivering solid construction with flotation that exceeds Coast Guard standards. The wide beam provides a stable platform from bow to stern, and the sturdy fiberglass console is built to last.

The layout prioritizes both comfort and fishing functionality. A 12-gallon front baitwell and divided, aerated 29-gallon rear livewell are positioned for easy access. Mesh tackle web lines the bow, and extensive storage throughout the boat ensures room for gear and tackle. Rugged vinyl flooring in the cockpit resists wear and skidding, while marine-grade carpet forward maintains both durability and appearance.

The boat is powered by a single 115 hp Mercury Marine engine. Fitted with a fiberglass console and practical deck design, the VS1782 SC Angler combines workmanlike construction with the features needed for serious fishing.
