Riverman1 Posted March 11, 2019 Report Share Posted March 11, 2019 I've been looking for a new boat and thinking of buying a Ranger rt198p. Anyone have any info on them likes or dislikes. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
softbaitmaker Posted March 11, 2019 Report Share Posted March 11, 2019 If I was in the market for a great new boat I would head on up to Morristown Marine and park my butt in a new Skeeter. It won't make a difference what kind of truck you drive it will look a lot better with a Skeeter behind it on the way to the lake......JMHO Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They have more campers now than boats... consider preowned.. save thousands.. Maybe a Triton 20TRX Elite Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I just know I'm a Skeeter person and I thought Andy and his wife bought a Skeeter boat dealership so just trying to steer folks in his direction. Thanks for the input of the camper inventory and maybe I need to begin sending folks looking for a camper to them too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You go Softy N&N I really hope you weren't knocking Morristown Marine, if Andy wants to sell RV's to make money so be it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know several boat dealers that have other lines of products they sell to help their bottom lines at the end of the year. S & R Marine in Cookville is a Triton dealer but they also sell ATVs and have both in their showroom so I don't see any problem with Andy having a second line of products to sell. Wish him all the luck in thw world in his new business!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Riverman1 Posted March 12, 2019 Author Report Share Posted March 12, 2019 I'm not looking for a glass boat just looking at tin boats. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SteveHTN Posted March 13, 2019 Report Share Posted March 13, 2019 I’d be selling campers too. They’ve became a hot commodity, lately. As far as their boat inventory, they’ve got an awesome selection, and whatever they don’t have, they can get quick. Plus the best shop in the whole daggum area, IMO. Hopefully soon they’ll get a tin boat lineup going. Back to the original post- I’ve seen a bunch of the RT198’s, and everyone that’s had one gives em high marks. Quality construction, like their glass boats, and a great layout. I’d be torn between them and Vexus for a tin, with a slight nod to Vexus just on design and layout. Can’t go wrong with either. While we are on the subject of Morristown Marine, shout out to those boys for tuning my ole Stratos up quickly, and affordably. They always took great care of my old Astro, and I can’t recommend a better shop anywhere, for good work and customer service. Hopefully soon they get some tackle sales going- then it’ll be my second home 😁 (what little I’m ever home) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not everything is listed on the website yet But to answer the original post, the RT series Rangers are solid boats. You can't go wrong with one.

I'd guess that is a good market for your location. Boats or campers, carry what people buy and don't look back. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NobbyNobbs Posted March 20, 2019 Report Share Posted March 20, 2019 Okay folks.. I wasn't knocking anyone.. I just drive by there a few times a week and noticed a lot of RVs since I read it was under new ownership. Last week when I went past I spotted a lot of pontoon boats as well. There was also some bass boats on the lot now, I have no idea what is on the inside. I just remember when I use to go by there was a bunch of bass boats around the lot. There is nothing wrong with deversification. And Skeeter makes a beautiful boat. All makes sense in the big picture. Open up inventory to pander to the massess. Fishing market is finite but the recreational / fishing market is huge. Besides don't everyone need a camper to take to the lake for a week of bass fishing :D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bronzebackhuntr Posted March 20, 2019 Report Share Posted March 20, 2019 I don’t know if he still has it. But Adair (member on here) had a rt198 Ranger that he was looking to get rid of for a good deal. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bronzebackhuntr Posted March 20, 2019 Report Share Posted March 20, 2019 Don’t know if you have a Facebook, but if you do look up Jay Adair on there and message him. Think he’s wanting 19k for it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mountainman Posted March 21, 2019 Report Share Posted March 21, 2019 Nobby, stop in a say hey one of these days when you're driving by the store. I think our watauga tourney last spring is the last time we talked. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
