Is the Ranger VS 1882 worth it?

[Motorola]

I have another boat, a Lund. But I've been wanting something more family-friendly and came across the Ranger VS 1882. I like the design of this one but I'm quite scared if the negative reviews I've been reading will be experienced as well? Please help me out.

If you prioritize the build quality and support you can get from the dealer, I suppose go with Lund? Hahaha. Ranger is ok and yes it's spacious. But sometimes I'm pissed with the people I get to talk to about here locally. Still that pick is a good one and the features align with your needs.

If the reviews mention hull flex, weld issues, or rougher rides in chop, those could really impact a family outing. Have you had a chance to test ride one?

@Motorola what's the specific concerns you've read about the VS 1882? Knowing what's worrying you might help others give more targeted feedback

Its a rock solid family friendly option with a roomy layout and good ride, but like any other boat, some issues can pop off depending on use and build year.
