2026 Ranger VS1782SC Angler

This 17' 8" Ranger VS1782SC Angler is a fiberglass sportfishing boat built for open water and serious angling. The hull features 0.125-inch-thick aluminum construction with integral foam flotation exceeding Coast Guard standards, paired with a wood-free, robotically welded transom for solid, dependable performance. A single 150-horsepower Mercury Marine engine powers the boat.

The layout prioritizes both comfort and fishing function. The bow houses a 12-gallon baitwell and divided, aerated 29-gallon rear livewell, both easily accessible from the fishing platform. Mesh tackle web lines the bow for gear organization. Storage runs throughout the boat to accommodate tackle and equipment.

The cockpit features rugged vinyl flooring that resists skids and cleans easily, while marine-grade carpet covers the forward area. A fiberglass console provides a sturdy helm station. The wide beam and stable platform extend from bow to stern, creating a capable fishing platform designed to handle open water conditions.
