2026 Ranger VS1782SC Angler

The 2026 Ranger VS1782SC Angler is a 17-foot 8-inch center console built for serious fishing. The aluminum hull, at 0.125-inch thickness, is foam-filled throughout and features a wood-free, robotically welded transom. This construction delivers a solid platform with flotation that exceeds Coast Guard standards. The wide beam provides stability from bow to stern, making for confident handling in open water.

The layout prioritizes both comfort and fishing efficiency. A 12-gallon front baitwell and divided, aerated 29-gallon rear livewell sit within easy reach. Mesh tackle web lines the bow, and generous storage throughout the boat means you can bring all your gear. The cockpit features rugged vinyl flooring, while the bow is appointed with marine-grade carpet—both chosen for durability and appearance.

A fiberglass console anchors the deck, with skid-resistant flooring throughout for safety and ease of cleaning. Powered by a single 115-hp Mercury Marine engine, the boat delivers the performance needed for extended trips into deeper waters.
