Ranger Boats, known for its exceptional craftmanship and innovative design, was established in 1968 in Flippin, Arkansas, United States, by a keen angler, Forrest L. Wood. Wood's dedicated passion for fishing and boating, coupled with his deep understanding of angler's needs, brought about the birth of Ranger Boats, a name now synonymous with premium high-performance fishing boats. The company built on its initial success by consistently delivering water vessels designed for maximum speed, safety, and angling versatility.
Over its five decades of existence, Ranger Boats has undergone significant growth and transformation, becoming an industry leader in the manufacture of fishing boats. In 1987, it was acquired by the Tracker Marine Group and remains part of the White River Marine Group. Despite changes in ownership, Ranger Boats has retained its focus on excellence, remaining committed to producing boats of superior quality, design, and craftsmanship.
Today, Ranger Boats continues its manufacturing in Flippin. Offering a diverse range of boat models, from aluminium and fibreglass fishing boats to saltwater boats and pontoons, the company continues to meet the evolving needs of anglers and boaters around the world. Ranger Boats' commitment to quality, safety, and performance, together with its respect for tradition and eye for innovation, continues to cement its position as a pillar in the boating industry.
