Ranger is building on its FS line of fiberglass deep-Vs with the new FS PRO Series, highlighted by the 622FS PRO, the company’s largest freshwater offering. It stretches 22 feet 10 inches and boasts a 400 hp with a host of upgrades.
In the FS PRO Series, Ranger set out to redefine big-water deep-Vs with enhanced performance delivered by increased horsepower ratings over previous years as well adding ingenuity stem to stern. A large departure are cFS PRO models that sport a roomier cockpit via removal of the rear tackleboxes, the “c” denoting Ranger’s Total Command cockpit. Standard FS PRO models not only retain the boxes but have expanded capacity through reengineering, as do the front deck storages.
The FS PROs feature a first for the deepV segment—a proprietary 9-inch touchscreen that houses Ranger’s RIDE system. This Ranger Intelligent Display Engine lets users control and monitor every aspect of the rig, from engine parameters like oil pressure, temp, RPM, and more, as well as control critical functions from trim, jackplate, Power-Poles, stereo, livewells, lighting, and even the kicker.
Further innovation is found at stern, where a pair of trim tab recesses seamlessly facilitate either traditional Lenco tabs or Zipwake Interceptors that automatically and quickly adjust trim, pitch, and roll according to the seas you’re encountering.
The interior of the 622FS PRO and all FS PRO boats features high-end refinements. The redesigned console is covered with an automotivegrade stitched brow and carries up to 16-inch screens front and center. Seating has been redesigned with a taller back and a new darker flooring hides smudges and cleans up quickly. Dual passenger gloveboxes, wireless phone charging capability, brushed aluminum trim, and a Bluetooth stereo are among the standard creature comforts.
Building off of their popular deep-Vs, Ranger’s FS PRO Series boasts more capability than ever, and the formidable 622FS PRO carries a new degree of strength and fishability that elevates bigwater angling. rangerboats.com
