2026 Ranger Z521

The 2026 Ranger Z521 is a 21-foot-9-inch bay boat built on a fiberglass hull and powered by a single 250-horsepower Mercury Marine engine. The design prioritizes fishing capability and stability, with a wide front deck that maximizes casting space and storage. The hull is engineered for smooth handling across all speeds and delivers solid tracking at pace.

The boat features a padded front casting deck and insulated 40-quart cooler integrated into the step-up design. A pultruded fiberglass transom reinforces the stern structure. Interior flotation is provided by insulating foam throughout the hull, contributing to both rigidity and safety. Push-to-close latches on storage boxes reduce tripping hazards and simplify access.

Control systems include push-button solid-state digital switching, keyed ignition, and a dedicated Ranger Umbilical 6-gauge electronics harness with a 30-amp breaker running bow to stern. A MercMonitor display with SmartCraft gauges provides engine and system monitoring. The boat accommodates a Minn Kota Fortrex trolling motor and supports optional dual bow transducer mounts for electronics. A custom-built trailer is included with the purchase, designed specifically for this hull.
