- OVER / UNDER! RANGER ALPHA 208 BUILD REVIEW (WAIT, IT'S HOW MUCH???)
A lot of hype surrounded this ALPHA 208 when it was announced....and then a lot of them returned back to the Ranger plant for a transom recall. We have always liked the look of these rigs and we hope the issues are resolved. Now the question always remains....Is this rig OVERPRICED or UNDERVALUED??? Comment below what y'all think. Thanks for all of your support!!!

how about over under on the bass cat cougar 203 hybrid sp package @ $79999
If I had tha money , and that's a if , I would only would pay that kind of money for a Gatortrax, seen there plant videos on how there built ,and there's are MADE well with heavy duty stuff , that would be only one that would be considered !!
Xpress
Ranger is a badged nitro, if you want the “ranger” engineering they are all at Vexus
I think there is a few reason for these larger 250 tin boats.
1 I think express has pushed the builders to have an option.
2 Tin is lighter, fishes shallower, handles abuse, offerers better fuel range, and for the professional anglers looking for a slight edge that may be a me reason.
3 this is a corporate one. Overall cost to produce, cheaper, and more
Profit. Labor to build a fiberglass hull and materials has on through the roof. Epa regulations and requirements for all the chemicals and containment is increasing. I went and observed the final assembly of my Phoenix 819 and took a tour of their facility. It’s a 10 day process to build a hull and top cap. Metal is simple. Cut, form, weld and paint; and you can source it over seas with minimal quality control. Fiberglass has to be QC every step of the way.
Jordan smokes crack on his lunch breaks! 😂
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
Can you do an over under on the bass cat cougar SP with either regular hull or the 203 hybrid hull?
That’s absolutely insane.
HELL NO!!!!! if I’m dropping that kind of money on a tin boat I’m buying a gator track and then I have something.
Been waiting for this one Ever since the alpha 208 came out was able to see one at my local Cabelas and man it was was a cool boat
I like a 198p if damn hull aluminum wasn't so thin
What would you expect from white river marine group, keep up good work
Let’s see an over under on a affordable boat like the Falcon Freedom 18 or the Triton 179 trx
@@evanshillcoxfishing7929 we could do that
WOW!!!!! My 2023 Dual Console Anniversary edition Z520R was just 2K more than the way you rigged that tin. and I have everything on mine, but I went to a dealer, not of the the Johnny World conglomerates.
Was that bobs jack plate problem for the motor coming off
No, Bobs jack plates are very high quality, best on the market in my opinion.
Yeah I didn’t explain that very well. We heard stories that, in testing the 208 the motor and plate ripped off the transom
Waiting On And Ranger/Nitro Plant Tour
I love these videos could you do one about the Ulterra
Easy on my Nitro bro lmao. I would pay that for a nitro before I would a tin boat for sure. You guys are awesome and love watching your videos 🎣🔥
try to get the boat bone stock and take to a diff company to put all that on, it should be cheaper over all.
What!!! My custom ordered 819 Phoenix, my color choices, padded deck, all Garmin, 24v force, 12” console, 2-10’s bow with live scope, precision mounts, 8’ power poles, Noco 3 bank, gatorhide trailer, 15” custom wheels with disk brakes, merc 200, custom cover out the door rigged taxs and all, 72,800.
Granted the Ranger is only slightly longer and does have a 250, but hell no.
I can buy a lot of crap for another 20k. Ain’t happening Ranger.
Aluminum vs Aluminum, I'm buying a Vexus.
But, seeing those prices (granted, there's a lot added for the views) I'd buy a Phoenix off my local dealers showroom floor cheaper than that build as it sits
That’s as crazy as spending $17 for a spinner bait. 😆
I said 83k boy was I off. I think 63k is high for a aluminum boat..
I thought it was a glass boat at 93K until you mentioned "tin boat"...
If we’re buying only a mass produced tin boat I’d take a Lund Pro V Bass/Muskie over this all day. Cheaper too
Compared to a Z20 Pro Nitro the price of a Ranger . Alpha 208 appears high. I would have to have a specific need for an aluminum boat to pay that price.
Can't change the price added by motor, trailer, and accessories because thats the same no matter what you put it on. Gets down to the price of aluminum vs fiberglass. Sad to say you don't save much on that anymore. Might as well go fiberglass now and take the added benefits of fiberglass over aluminum
Am sticking to my 320V Ranger...
Tin boats bone stock should be $35k. Add the bells and whistles for another $15k. Tin boat rigged- $50k
Can get an IKON 21' VLX for that money. Won't have duals though.
Not a chance in hell! Damn you can get a Nitro 20footer for that!
Can't buy one for 63K anywhere. Time they add freight and rigging probably adds a couple thousand. Still have not seen one anywhere, but I know there is at least one pro running one and of course he loves it.
I'll stick with my champion
Fuck no I’ll go fiberglass for that price
good video! give me a gatortrax or basscat
Buy a basscat pantera classic for that money. 50 less hp but probably the same speed also
There is no tin boat that's worth over 50k that doesn't have the name gator trax across the side.
May as well get a Basscat for that price with the options you added. Absurdly overpriced.
Overpriced for aluminum, fortrex, and one 7" screen. Crazy
Drove by Ranger factory yesterday on my way to Gaston’s for trout. They had 2 beautiful fiberglass bass boats out front however every inch of yard space was covered in ugly aluminum flat river boats and Hut shaped structures that looked like deer blinds. Gave me the impression that high quality bass boats are not a priority.
Wow that’s sad! 😢
@@TeamMarineService yes, bass pro is using the Ranger plant to make all sorts of white river crap
If I was spending that much on a boat a Ranger 208 would be my last choice.
The only tin boat on the market worth buying at any price is GATOR TRAX.
Express or ranger based on what u know about the both of them.Andy.
I'm not Andy, but if I wanted the 250 and this style boat, it's really the Ranger Alpha, Vexus 2080, and the Gator Trax boat. Of those three, the Gator is the winner. Just because the Ranger hasn't been on the market long enough, so that could possibly change. But check out the Gator! That being said of the two that you mentioned would have to go with the Xpress tried and true, plus that package with the seadek is sweet.
Dumb.
Almost bought a new Skeeter ZXR21 for $79K out the door this spring. A pretty glass boat that comes with none of the over-complicated garbage (touchscreens, touchpads, etc.) but all of the baseline stuff most folks want. Basically $20K out the door less than this Tracker pop can with a Ranger sticker.
I should add I’m a Ranger glass boat owner, and for most of my life a Ranger homer, but Walmart… err, sorry… BPS and Johnny are killing the brand.
The Ranger Boat what's what you added on should be 63,000 dollars like it is is Johnny Morris junk
Paid way less for my lund 2075 pro v bass. I have owned cats, stratos, procraft, triton. My lund is the best boat I have personally owned. Cat would be a close 2nd.
What are some of your favorite things about the Lund?
The Ride!! The room ! The extra seats for my buddies to go smallie fishing with me on Pickwick.
Its a 20ft ve us with 250 looks identical to my new 2080
to be fair a Lund 2175 pro v that has a 400hp cost 160k......
🤣
$93k if it was fiberglass maybe! But as a tin boat hell no! Overprice
I'll take an Xpress any day, built better and can contact someone.
i would rather see what your working and why
If you’re gonna spend that much money on a tin boat, just get an Xpress.
Damn.
for 100k it better say Allison on it.
1st one here🤣
Absolutely not a deal
For that price I can get a nitro loaded
I just don't buy anything Johnny Morris. Pretty simple. My next boat will be a used Stratos 201 and will love it.
That's not saying that he's some crook or something, just saying that the people he has in place to run his stuff are.
There is no aluminum boat that should be more than 40-45k brand new. No matter how nice it is. Period. I hope the insanity gets reigned in one day.
Tin boat for 93+ …. No way in hell.
Skeeter FXR 20 with better pkg for same price with the rebate. But Johnny prices his boats cheap but no one is going to buy with his pkg and when you upgrade to what it should have then you are up to the 90k+.
…GatorTrax
You can buy a brand new ZXR 20 for $76k so no it’s not a good deal!
You can get much better quality for that price
93k for a tin boat? Nah, I'll pass
thats horrifically overpriced lolololol also that sign font makes it look like a gag gift sign that says strap on
@@mrh6201 🤣🤣🤣
I suppose someone will pay it!
Really cool boat but WAY over priced. The jump from 198 to 208 is way off.
Way overpriced for an aluminum boat you could be in a nice glass boat for that
63k for as is, is way overpriced. Anyway you option it is overpriced!
E em Portugal
🇺🇸 🇵🇹
@@TeamMarineService thancks
who needs polls use a spot lock trolling motor no need for polls
To damn much money!
Not buying much from good ol'Johnny. Overpriced for sure.
Any tin boat is not worth 60 grand!! Tim boat should be bargain priced for people who are on a limited budget!! All I can think of is NASCAR!! You are pricing people
out of fishing!! Will be back to bank fishing before you know it!! Look how many plastic boat they sell!! People have to decide to pay there rent or mortgage a food don’t leave much for 60 plus Tin boats no 18:49 bargains any where in fishing!! They will come down with their pricing or be gone! Johnny morris he will be the only one left standing! My 1980 Vexus, 20 footer with 150 Dual axle trailer, two 9’s an a spot lock trolling motor.39,000! Now that would be close to 60 grand now crazy!!!
Hell no overpriced out of the box
Why put 4 shitty Birds on it ??
We started this series years ago and have kept all of the hypothetical accessories the same on each boat
it's definitely overpriced, I will stick with my old 96 ranger fiberglass
You lost me at tin boat, for that price.
Gator trax all day
Basscat puma sts 75 grand waaaaaaaaaay better deal
Over priced !!!
Thoughts on a 05 champion 187 cx with a 150 HPDI.
Keep the good stuff coming. 👍👍
For that kind of cash I'm going gator trax or glass.
Bull ,S
Fuck no lol
Way over priced Phoniex 721 with poles and Garmins is 76k
Over. Way over. Saw one at BP and doesn’t look bad but no thanks.
Who gives a shit about wheels on a boat 14 are fine as long as it gets you to the ramp come on man 🤦🏻🤦🏻🤦🏻🤦🏻😂😂😂😂😂😂
over priced nitro aluminum!!!
Overpriced
These over and unders are no wher neat the pri e you can set these boats up for. Andy knows this. He is super knowledgeable about everything marine. And still plays dumb on how to get the best deals on a new boat. Stop it!
It is NOT a good deal.... :)
Absolutely ridiculous! Seems like this boat is targeted to serious bass fishing! Who is buying the original stripped down version!? Damn! No thank you!
No thanks👎
This is overpriced...100% It should be 70K out the door with all your options you stated!
That's a rip off. Way over priced. And there build quality has gone Away since the early 90s
No
Over priced even from the factory
Way over priced!!!
😂so crazy, way overpriced
way over priced
Tin boat for 93+ …. No way in hell.
