In response to the rising popularity of competitive redfish angling, Ranger Boats has added the 183 Ghost to its saltwater line. The company's engineers designed the 85 1/2-inch beam of the 183 with input from the nation's top pro redfish anglers.

The new design of the 18-foot, 3-inch hull makes the boat ideally suited for gliding across choppy water, as well as stalking fish in flats as shallow as 9 1/2 inches deep. A maximum 150-horsepower rating coupled with a 35-gallon fuel capacity means anglers can enjoy more comfort, faster access and greater range in finding areas that hold fish.

There's easy access to storage, batteries, breakers and pumps, plus features such as an aerated livewell/ baitwell with high-speed pickup and in-line filter. There is also a poling platform, recessed trim tabs and additional storage in the gunnels and under the deck.

Skeeter's new ZX22V Bay Boat is designed specifically with inshore saltwater fishermen in mind. Its 14- to 16-inch draft allows anglers to float shallow for inshore sportfish. Its length of 22 feet, 6 1/2 inches and beam of 101 inches provide ample space for eight passengers, plenty of gear storage and maximum use of the boat's bow and stern fishing platforms.

A 32-gallon livewell and console baitwell feature fill and recirculation modes with timer to keep the bait and catch fresh. Gear and rods can be stowed in the bow storage box, insulated 32-gallon starboard/bow fish box, four tubular horizontal rod holders and rear storage area.

The center console features tilt hydraulic steering, a comfortable leaning post with removable 94-quart cooler and courtesy lighting. There is also Yamaha instrumentation, including multi-function speedometer, fuel gauge, clock, tachometer, trim gauge, horn, oil status, and analog water pressure gauge. The fuel tanks hold an impressive 60 gallons.

The ZX22V can accommodate a wide selection of engines of up to 250 horsepower.
