A MESSAGE FROM

RANGER FOUNDER,

FORREST WOOD

Congratulations! You and your new

and legacy of leadership spanning

nearly four decades.  We appreciate

the confidence you’ve shown us by
selecting Ranger as your boat of

choice.  Since our very beginnings,

we’ve worked hard to continually earn

your trust by making quality, innovation,

and attention to detail our constant

watchwords.  As the owner of a new

Ranger boat, you’re eligible for a world of

benefits from the Ranger Owner’s Group.
Drop us a line or visit our website at
rangerboats.com for more details.  It’s just
one more way we’d like to say ‘thank you’
while sharing even more great opportunities
with our family.

We encourage you to make safety and courteous boating practices an integral part of
your outdoor activities.  “Boat Smart From The Start.”  Take a boating education course
and get a vessel safety check for your boat.  For more information on these important
services, contact the United States Coast Guard Auxiliary at 1-800-368-5647,

www.usps.org.  Remember that common sense and sound judgement are two of the
most important elements to carry with you on every outing.

If we can be of additional help, feel free to give us a call, visit us on the internet, contact
your local dealer, or just drop us a line through the mail.  Thank you, again, for being a
part of the legendary “Ranger Family!”  

This manual is intended to help you better understand your boat and make basic care
and maintenance quite simple.  Additionally, it provides important information essential
for safe and pleasant boat operation.  Please take the time to study this manual along
with your engine and equipment manuals before operating your boat.  Should you have
