2009 Ranger 2200 Bay Ranger

Welcome to the accelerated standards of the 2200 Bay Ranger. Built for the most demanding redfish anglers, the 2200 is equally at home chasing speckled trout on family outings. Designed with a smaller console and center-mounted trolling motor batteries, the balanced interior delivers an abundance of storage and plenty of additional space for working fish bow to stern. The highly maneuverable hull design also includes a raised bow for an impressively dry ride in rough water. Up front, an aerated well provides a convenient location for crabs and other bait. Cast net storage is positioned just aft of the console and a fold-down console rail allows the boat to easily access garages with lower ceilings and openings. Elsewhere, a raised anchor locker centers an elevated section of the front deck and rod storage is positioned throughout the layout.

They Cast: The Ranger 2200 Bay Ranger is fast, runs shallow, and fishes hard. ** **

We Cast: This is a hot one whether you’re jumping out of the hole, zinging over the shallows, or flipping jigs in stealth mode. This boat uses brains, not just brawn, to stand out from the crowd. Want to see what I mean? Pop the aft hatch on the starboard side of the boat. Yes, that’s a wiring schematic for the entire 2200 Bay Ranger, right there on the underside. This feature doesn’t eat up space, add much cost, or take much time for the manufacturer to install-yet it significantly increases the value of the boat to hands-on guys like you and me. With that schematic always at hand, you’ll save hours troubleshooting shorts, replacing wires, or adding electronics. More evidence of superior genes: Stowage boxes are fully finished, with vacuum-bagged hatches that dog down over gaskets and lock shut. Switches are sealed and watertight. There are multiple livewells in the fore and aft deck, a lift-out tray with cast net stowage, two gunwale rodholders, pre-wiring for a trolling motor, four vertical rodracks on either side of the console, and rod stowage boxes forward. Three trolling motor batteries fit in the console, and the anchor locker has a built-in rack to keep the hook from banging around. Brains, brains, and more brains. But you like brawn, too, don’t you? Our test boat was rigged with 250 horses, enough juice to bust this boat onto plane in the blink of an eye.

Who Will Fish It: Bay anglers who like both smarts and strength in a boat.
