521VX: THE NEXT LEGEND STARTS HERE

The next generation of Ranger’s flagship bass boat has arrived. The all-new Z521VX advances Ranger’s proven tournament platform with a redesigned command center, smarter onboard technology, purpose-built electronics integration, and greater control from bow to stern.

At the helm, the all-new console places critical functions within easy reach. Keyless push-to-start ignition, FORGE™ Heads-Up and Control Displays work alongside a 12-button solid-state keypad to provide fast, straightforward control of onboard systems. The result is a modern, fully integrated command center built around the serious angler.

The Z521VX takes electronics integration to the next level with the new ProCircuit™ dedicated 6-gauge clean-power electronics harness. Engineered to support today’s advanced electronics, the system is complemented by Smart Battery Control with a remote on/off switch. Available custom mounting solutions from Bass Boat Technologies provide even more flexibility to build an electronics setup around the way you fish.

At the bow, a new wireless keypad keeps essential functions close at hand. Double-tap shallow-water and holeshot modes provide quick access to get you up and moving to the next spot in an instant.

An extended driver’s seat slide range offers greater adjustability behind the wheel, while the available Traction Pad deck replaces carpet with a clean, fast-drying, non-skid surface accented by legendary Comanche stripes. The available Ultra Package takes the flagship experience even further with premium interior touches - buckskin-style seating, full-boat Traction Pad flooring, and unmatched style in three color packages – Buckskin, Carbon & Sandstone.

Carrying this new flagship is a redesigned Ranger Trail® trailer that delivers even more stability, security, and peace of mind on the road and at the ramp. With a paint scheme custom matched to your boat and bunks tailor-made for the hull, it's a guarantee that'll last year after year and mile after mile.

From its redesigned command center and dedicated clean-power system to wireless bow controls, versatile deck options, and upgraded trailer, the Z521VX delivers next-generation power, performance, and technology with the fishability that only Ranger can deliver to keep you ahead of the pack.
