Ranger Z21 Intracoastal

The Edge In Competition

FLIPPIN (February 19, 2007) When the rise in popularity of competitive redfish and other inshore fishing events revealed a need for a boat that's not quite a skiff, not quite a bay boat, Ranger responded. Anglers said they needed a boat with plenty of top-end speed and fuel storage for long runs, the ability to track well in shallow water and be extremely maneuverable. To meet these and many other needs that are specific to inshore anglers, Ranger Boats took the best boat available in the freshwater fishing world and gave it the characteristics of a first-class inshore rig. The result: the 2007 Ranger Z21 Intracoastal.

Rated for a maximum of 250 horsepower and equipped with two 24-gallon fuel tanks, the Z21 Intracoastal is capable of making long runs with ease. This new take on an inshore fishing boat delivers extremely responsive handling and a smooth, dry ride. With the faster, shallower hole shot and strong top end delivery of Ranger's Z-Comanche Series, anglers will enjoy more time spent enticing fish and less time getting there.

Virtually all of the characteristics of the freshwater Z-Comanche model have been preserved in this saltwater incarnation. With plenty of fishing space, three anglers will have no problem casting and landing fish aboard the Z21 Intracoastal, making it ideal for guides and recreational anglers alike.

The interior of the Z21 Intracoastal features the soft ride comfort of an SRS bench seat as well as two pedestal seats to be used on the front and rear fishing decks. The interior and cockpit area is also available with snap-in carpet for added comfort. The aggressive, high-performance look and feel of the freshwater Z boats has also been preserved with a polished aluminum trim package and custom color packages. ...
