2026 Ranger Z518

The 2026 Ranger Z518 is an 18-foot 10-inch bass boat built on a fiberglass hull with an 8-foot beam, designed for tournament fishing and shallow-water performance. Powered by a Mercury 200L Pro XS Torque Master engine, it combines strong acceleration with the maneuverability expected in the 200 horsepower class. The 39-gallon fuel capacity supports extended fishing days while maintaining efficiency.

The boat is equipped with dual Lowrance HDS-9 PRO units—one at the bow with ActiveTarget 2 live sonar and one at the console with Active Imaging—along with a 47-inch Lowrance Ghost trolling motor running on 24 volts. Dual Power-Pole Blade 8-foot anchors provide precise positioning in varying conditions. A hydraulic setback plate from TH Marine, tilt steering, and dual trim switch controls round out the core systems. The cockpit includes lighted livewells and compartments, a recessed foot pedal for the trolling motor, and a 15-amp triple-output on-board lithium charger.

Additional features include a fiberglass bow step, keel protector, and a raised boat cover. A custom Ranger trailer is included. The boat is rated for a maximum of four persons and has a recommended horsepower rating of 200 HP.
