2026 Ranger VS1782SC Angler

The 2026 Ranger VS1782SC Angler is a 17-foot 8-inch aluminum sportfisher built for serious fishing in open water. Its substantial beam and robust construction make it a stable, capable platform. The 0.125-inch aluminum hull is filled with foam throughout and features a wood-free, robotically welded transom that delivers both solid feel and flotation exceeding Coast Guard standards.

The boat's layout prioritizes both comfort and function for anglers. A 12-gallon front baitwell and a divided, aerated 29-gallon rear livewell provide live bait and catch storage. Mesh tackle webbing lines the bow, and storage is distributed throughout to accommodate gear and supplies. The cockpit features rugged vinyl flooring, while the forward section is carpeted in marine-grade material designed for durability.

A fiberglass console provides stout protection, and the flooring throughout is engineered to be both skid-resistant and easy to maintain. The boat is powered by a single 115-horsepower Mercury Marine engine and comes on a trailer.
