All the facilities you need are wrapped up in this 17-ft. outboard cruiser.
When powered with larger outboard motors such as the Johnson 25 or the 33 or 50 hp Evinrude, "Ranger" will plane at speeds of 20 to 35 mph. She’s easy on fuel and maintenance costs, too, and you can transport her most anywhere by trailer. Run the trailer into the water to float the boat and you’re on your way up your favorite waterway. Two persons may sleep aboard and there is room for a small stove and a few pots and pans with which to fry those fresh fish. Although a bandsaw will help when sawing out such parts as the stem and an electric drill will speed up the job of fastening the "Ranger" can be constructed with ordinary hand tools.
