I am presently a Ranger owner and have sworn that I will always be but... It's time to upgrade to a larger rig than my 17.5'. I have been looking for a 2000 to 2002 Ranger 520 to be able to keep within my budget. Today a ran across a 2000 Triton TR21 with a 2000 Evinrude Ram for $14,000. Would I be disappointed with a Triton after being a Ranger owner? Are the Ram engines any good?
Thanks,
Joe

I think you would be extremely happy with a triton from a ranger. If I was buying a new boat a triton would definately be first on my list. In fact ranger would probably be close to the bottom probably just ahead of a nitro. In my opinion they are way to overrated and hiped up. Especially if your lookin at the speed aspect. the ranger won't stand a chance against the triton. As far as I know the ram is a good motor. The early years were rough but i think in 2000 they got bought out by bombardier and bombardier did some good things and really turned it around. if you want to stay with a ranger and don't mind traveling.
