the passenger (but with |

passenger's gear on board). Still had a
little throttle left and |

probably could have pushed it to
6000-6100 rpms, which is |
|
| |
above the max range of 5800 rpms.
May go with 27" pitch |

versus 25" to keep rpms in safe
range. Don't need a jackplate |

"Purchased boat in April 2000.
Previous owner took |
|
| |
exceptional care of it. All
upholstery & carpeting is new, the |
|
| |
trailer was refinished at the same
time. All work was done by |
|
| |
Ranger in 1999. The gelcoat on
boat looks as it it were |
|
| |
factory fresh! The motor has been
completely overhauled as |
|
| |
of Oct. 2000. My decision.
We removed the oil injection |
|
| |
system as that was causing serious
problems. I now mix oil |
|
| |
with the gas at 50 to 1. The motor
was over bored 30 thous- |
|
| |
ands and Boyesen reeds installed. |

right! I finally got all the problems worked out for this rig! |
|
| |
Holeshot is
now less than 8 seconds! I have had it up to 58 |
|
| |
mph
(speedo), but have some side to side chinewalking, which |
|
| |
I
understand is good. I was told I should be able to do better |
|
| |
but so far
I have been slightly shy to do so. I have to learn to |
|
| |
drive
through it. I had it in for some serious work lately. |

"The Ranger R71 is a great
bass boat. It has a smooth dry |

ride for its size. It's a perfect
fishing boat if you are more |
|
| |
into fishing than racing. |
|
| |
I have looked at a lot of
boats for a lot of years and this |
|
| |
one has the most quality in a 17' model.
It does cost a little |
|
| |
more, but worth it if you are going to
keep it for a long time." |

This R71 is White/Red with Gray carpet.
It has a half deck |

perfect place for your |

tripping over it all day, not to |
|
| |
mention the extra deck space. |
