Boat, Motor, & Trailer

SCREAMING PERFORMANCE AND VALUE

In the 18-foot class, the Ranger® Z518VS stands alone in terms of all-out performance, fishability and features. With the standard 150-horsepower Mercury®, you'll enjoy invigorating performance and economy, while the available 200-horse V8 FourStroke delivers a new level of adrenaline-pumping excitement. New VS badging gives the Z518 a bold, updated look, while new standard Raptor III trailer wheels add premium style from the road to the ramp. Up front, we've maximized storage with a pair of 8-foot rod boxes, a gelcoat-lined insulated in-deck cooler and a spacious starboard gear box. The oversized casting deck and 97-inch beam create a stout, stable platform for every cast. A foam-filled core and strategically placed pultruded fiberglass construction deliver unshakable solidity and a one-piece feel throughout. At the console, a full complement of precision gauges, electronics options up to 12 inches and stylish matte black accents put everything within easy reach. Integrated LED navigation lights, a recessed trolling motor pedal and SRS Soft-Ride™ seating round out this angler-centric rig that far outperforms its price tag. From daylight to dusk, the Ranger Z518 delivers performance, features and value like none other.
