the bassboat hulls are the best riding hulls in the bassboat market and I'm sure the fishhunter is right up there in the walleye boat industries. Now I don't have any experience with the fishhunter series, but the rest of the champion line is topnotch. The customer service and quality are great and the fishunter should be very comparable to the ranger. If I were you I would take a ride in the champion and decide after that. Both are going to be great riding boats and will probably run about the same speed with the same motor so next I'd look at the layout and price. I would probably say that the quality of the boats is going to be close to the same.
