2026 Ranger VS1782SC Angler

The Ranger VS1782SC Angler is a 17-foot, 8-inch open sportfish boat built on a sturdy fiberglass foundation. The 0.125-inch-thick aluminum hull is filled with foam throughout, paired with a wood-free robotically welded transom that provides exceptional rigidity and flotation exceeding Coast Guard standards. The wide beam delivers a stable platform across the entire length of the boat, while rugged vinyl flooring in the cockpit and marine-grade carpet forward are engineered for durability and easy maintenance.

The cockpit and cabin layout prioritize both comfort and fishing functionality. A 12-gallon front baitwell and divided, aerated 29-gallon rear livewell provide live bait and catch storage readily accessible from the fishing stations. Extensive storage lockers throughout the boat eliminate the need to leave gear behind, and mesh tackle webbing lines the bow area for organized access to fishing equipment.

The boat features a stout fiberglass console and skid-resistant flooring designed for safety and practicality on the water. A single Mercury Marine 150-horsepower gasoline engine powers the hull.
