Kyle Grover, a distinguished multi-time champion of elite
tournaments, including the esteemed WON Bass US Open, exhibits the impressive
capabilities and standout features of the new Ranger Z519R.
The latest in Ranger’s flagship R series, the Z519R,
provides a 19’-9” package with first-class features. It comes standard with a
jack plate and is powered by a Mercury Pro XS 225 workhorse.
The new Ranger ladder is recessed into the transom when
stowed. This design prevents vegetation from catching the ladder, a feature
California Delta anglers will appreciate.
The storage compartment lids on all Ranger 2025 boats are
equipped with new Push-To-Close-Latches, making it easier to open and close
them. The storage boxes are made from insulated fiberglass and feature rubber
mat floors.
Large ergonomic padded seats offer excellent support and
comfort while running. The back of the seat features a seat shell support
system which anglers can customize the color to match your Ranger boat.
Installing a second console on the Z519R is straightforward
and systematic. If you're fishing in a tournament and want a roomy cockpit, you
can leave it off. However, on family fishing days or when you're having fun,
simply attach the second console for added protection for your loved ones, it's
quick, secure, and easy.
The exclusive Ranger Echelon Rod Locker is the new industry
benchmark for bass boat rod storage. Which rod set-ups are needed foremost
during a fishing scenario is always a pressing question. The Echelon Rod Locker
provides superior rod storage and easy access to every rod, regardless of its
position.
Anglers Marine offers a Club Package on the bow of the
Ranger Z519R, which provides the option of a Lowrance Ghost with Live Action
Target and a Lowrance HDS 9 or a Garmin Trolling motor with the Pan Optic
set-up.
At the helm, the driver’s console features a flush-mount
Lowrance HDS 12, rocker switches, and the Ranger Ride system, a 9” touchscreen
that monitors engine diagnostics.
Between the seats, there's a coin box with an internal USB
charging port, a net holder slot behind the seats, and two large Ranger live
wells. The live wells include LED lighting, perfect for night tournaments.
Under the driver's side live well lid is a convenient cull tag holder.
Behind the live wells, there's a spacious, easy-access
battery compartment. The advanced battery compartment has four 31 AGM
batteries, a battery charger, a spare prop holder, and two handy access doors. The
lower door provides access to the bilge pumps, and the upper door accesses the
live well pumps.
The Ranger Z519R is an amazing bass fishing platform packed
with advanced features that will propel any angler to their A-Game.
“As a tournament angler and boat salesman in Southern
California, I can confidently say the new Ranger Z519R is the ultimate choice
for anglers out here. It delivers the perfect balance of size, speed, and
fishability for our local lakes, while still packing the power and features you
need to dominate on big tournament waters. If you’re looking for a boat that
can do it all and turn heads while doing it, the Z519R is it,” – Kyle Grover.
