Sounds to me KB had a nice slice of humble pie. Is that part of your diet KB????

KB we're used to you taking shots at us and we can take it.....everyone knows you speak the truth UNLESS your lips are moving and then we know you are full of SH--......... Of course you wouldn't say anything bad about a paying sponsor like Hollywood, who by the way says you have the perfect face fo...

This sign up procedure of procurring a pro or co to get in was designed to get a short field to a full field....I dont know of a pro/am tournament circuit where you sign up as a team??? I understand why you would for travel reason and I called and had a discussion with Chris Hoover about this and no...

I have put some thought into this (yes KB I do actually think) and been reading all the posts regarding FLW and other tournament organizations......in regards to the FLW co-angler sign up has it occurred to anyone that potentially FLW has more co-anglers signed up for ALL 4 events than they have pro...

Yes Ranger Boats is back with Calvin......The store name is Redding Yamaha-Sea Doo as Steve McCarley has moved his motorcycle store into the facility to make this work. It was very important to Steve to bring Ranger back to the Redding area and we are excited to be back....

Dont worry Gary I saw KB eat enough donuts for you and me...In fact he filled out that Mercury shirt pretty well.....so he is following your strict diet pretty well.....My thought is he thinks if he grows up to be "big" like you he will fish as well......hate to tell him.....NOT!!!!! The B...

Great job Rick and the staff at Anglers Marine....it was a great show as it always is....I personally thought he had a great line up of speakers from World Champs, new school to old school.....As much as I hate to say it even Kent Brown did a good job!!!!!! Thanks Rick for taking the time, energy an...

Hey Wally maybe it was up to his knees he just happen to go in head first......

I heard KB said he fell in "up to his shins" but i heard it was up to his chins!!!! OOPS I mean chin or is it chins????? LOL

Come on KB which is it??????

KB, actually my new boat is white, black and silver......should make it a lot easier for you to clean after Dobyns uses it....

that was a big statement from someones who's all hat and no cattle!!!!!!

No I haven't seen JD Powers lately but I have seen the market share numbers. Thats what great about this business is there are options out there. In my opinion we build the best bass boat on the market, just like in KB's opinion someone else does and that's ok to believe......you have to believe in ...

I can assure you the Ranger factory is not shut down....we are taking orders and building boats everyday. My understanding to this point with the BK we have received all the approvals we need to continue business as normal from the courts. We plan to build the best bass boats for years to come as we...

Corey, glad to see your out of bed.......yes, even Ranger needs to know a good glass guy....I apprecitate the hard time shows you do still love me!!!!!!!

KB, good to see you still ALWAYS agree with me.....

John, Z called me yesterday as he was loading his family to go back there and get after them smallies again. He wanted to tell me and Rick what a GREAT time he had on the trip and how well you guys slammed the smallies. He couldn't stop talking about it!!!!!! I am happy to hear you guys not only cau...

We changed the locks for the '09 model year to the compression locks. It was mainly due to customer demand to get away from the dri lock system. Also our Pro Staff guys seems to like the new SS compression lock system better and they had a lot of input on this. I think this is what you will see go f...

His name is Bob Bragg and his phone number is 530-244-2545 and you are correct he does great work......

pbldave is Dave @ Pacific Boatland in Vancouver, WA just across the river from Portland. Great guy and great dealership. If I can help, please call me at 623-536-0224 or e-mail me at rangerwest@cox.net. Thanks!! Keith Tripp, Ranger Boats

Not only is Justin a great fisherman, he is a great asset to the bass fishing industry. That kid just puts his head down and goes fishing.........

Kent, I have to agree with Jeff on this one you have a great face for radio. Actually I would like to say congratulations on the first 2 years of success and good luck going forward......... Thanks for all you do for the west coast fisherman and for us here at Ranger Boats and our local dealers. I d...

If there was any "priority" given to any anglers who owned certain brand boats, I missed it. As the west coast Ranger Boat rep when I called into WON Bass to sign up with Art Berry we were put on the waiting list as Bonnie indicated they had just taken the final entry to fill the field. We...

Congrats Kyle, glad to see your back is not to sore to fish from carrying you dad at all the derby's................here is a good case of a kid that works hard at something he loves to do and comes from a great family that really loves the bass fishing industry and has supported SOCAL for 20 plus y...

Brian, Thank You for the kind words about Ranger Boats, we always try hard to do the right thing to take care of the customers we work so hard to get. Terry, this is where you are misinformed, all Ranger Boats qualify for Ranger Cup whether original owner or a used purchase, it is the contingency pr...

kb, I would be happy to pick you up or make arrangements to have you picked up, as I know you would always do the same for me....I will personally call you and make necc arrangements, please no red hat needed.

Look forward to seeing you at the BAT!!!!

Tony, if we were catering to the "guys" we discounted boats to that would not be good business on our part. Why would we discount the boat and then pay contingency???? This program is designed to help our dealers retail boats and be successful. The mis-conception is we discount boats to ev...

Mac, We do require on the pro side to be original owner and fish out of a Ranger Boat at the event. That would not work for the co-angler because they do not fish out of their boat, this is where the problem came in. Also if we require them to be original owner it doesn't give the guys that want to ...

Billy the Kid, how can it bug you for us to pay the people that help make our company successful???? Why should we give contingency money/boat to a guy that buys another brand of boat. Why doesn't that boat company give them a new boat if they win??? Who pays for Ranger Boats to have a service trail...

Hardshell, Tony is correct, the contingency money covers 4 model years, 04, 05, 06 & 07. Irwin has never indicated anything other than he does this to sell more Ranger Boats. That is why every sponsor pays the dollars to tournament organizations, to promote and sell their respective product. Ton...

By the way Kentuck, yes you can take advantage of the Ranger Cup and Yamaha incentives as long as you meet all the requirements, ie: join Owners Group, sign up for Ranger Cup(free), wear the clothes, have the Ranger Cup powered by Yamaha sticker on the drivers windshield of your boat and have a good...

Let me clarify a few items on how Ranger Cup works: Every owner of a Ranger Boat can join Ranger Owners Group, regardless of year or if they are the original owner. The cost is 49.95 plus s & h, which gives you about 150.00 worth of goodies and other benefits, unless you have purchased a new Ran...

Goodchoices, Thank you for the post regarding the Ranger Cup fees. You are correct for 2006 we went to one level. When we looked at the numbers for 2005 the majority of the people across the US signed up for the Premium Level. We had very good response from Ranger Owners on the product included in t...
