Several of the boats on display will include up to $2,000 in bonus benefits as part of Ranger’s “Gear Up & Go” sales promotion. In addition to the hottest Elite Series-ready fiberglass bass boats, the legendary boat brand will also showcase their ultra-popular aluminum line, which continues to deliver Ranger quality and attention to detail to a growing group of boat buyers. 

Ranger founder and Bass Fishing Hall of Famer Forrest L. Wood is also scheduled to be present in the booth along with some of the greatest professional bass anglers to ever take to the weigh-in stand and other special guests.
