I am reviving this thread again.
Anyone have any input on this boat? '96 Ranger 250C with twin '06 150 Yamahas 4 strokes. Everything I can find on them is positive, this one seems to be in good condition. Have you seen this one in your travels Spare? Its in Murrells Inlet. http://www.boattrader.com/listing/19...0-c-102815583/

The 150 4 strokes are great engines, and powerful with most reports putting them well over 150hp at the prop. My only concern would be the hull. The pics look like shes been well cared for, but I don't remember Ranger having built many large boats. Thought they were a short production run on them.

They seem to have been made 1991 to 1999 maybe? One story I read on THT written by a guy who owned one and lived close to the factory was that they got to a point where they were either going to have to increase the size of the factory and find more workers, or just stick with bass boat production. They decided to go with just bass boats then, although they seem to make a few saltwater models now.

Ive always liked those boats, they seem to favor the Sea Ray Laguna's. Never riden in one though. I haven't been up towards Murrels in a while. If you find out who has the boat or been servicing it, let me know, I'll see if I can dig up anything on it. Cant say anything bad about the 150's. There's a boat just like this across the canal from our house in Sneads Ferry. Its been repowered with twin 140 Suzuki's, I think the guy bought it new. He uses it a lot, and it still looks good.

Its at "Marine Service Center" 8994 Hwy 17 Bypass, Murrells Inlet according to the ad.
I don't know if you guys know this about me, but I really like those Zuke 140's.

thats a pretty good sized dealership, I used to know a couple people up there, but not anymore. Probably a consignment boat. I'd take those Yamaha's over the zukes any day
