As a pontoon boat enthusiast, I've long been partial to Ranger boats, known for their quality and dedication to the craft. So it's no surprise that their most recent Ranger Pontoon Boat Fish and Cruise Reata Series 223FC 2024 caught my attention and ticked all the boxes for what I look for in a pontoon boat.
One of the key areas where this boat really stands out is in its dedication to craftsmanship. The Ranger Boat 2024 comes with ABYC approval, featuring a 26" diameter, 0.100 pontoon logs with individual chambers and internal supports. The deck is pressure-treated, mechanically fastened to Z-bars for added durability. The provisions for safety are remarkable and boast of a fire extinguisher and a horn. Its stainless steel and coated carbon steel fasteners hint at the attention to detail put into this model’s construction.
The all-aluminum, box beam transom and full-width extruded Z-bar deck support benefit from a hidden fastener system, showcasing quality underneath as well as on the surface. On that note, I appreciate the premium marine upholstery, designed for optimal comfort, and the excellent use of multi-density furniture foam. Moreover, the 10-year Ranger warranty only further solidifies the trust many boaters have for the brand.
Speaking of features that leave a lasting impression, the electrical system of this pontoon boat is impressive. The boat is fitted with 500 GPH (1,893 LPH) aerator pump, incorporated with LED navigation lights and built-in docking lights that serve to enhance efficiency, especially for nighttime boating. A standout feature is the conveniently located 12V and USB outlets along with the phone management system, indicating a design cognizant of today's technology needs.
Fishing features like 2 aft fold-down, swiveling fishing chairs, 15 gal. aerated livewell, and a starboard lockable rod box with an organizer, make this model an extra appealing choice for anglers. Moreover, the Ranger boat's helm is advanced with the Ranger RIDE System and a touch screen digital dash along with a 12-button switch panel is present.
Lastly, the Interior design comes with a luxury woven cushioned floor, midship L-lounge with drained storage, and a stowable table with molded-in drink holders, revealing a thoughtful design for those longer trips out on the water.
At a glance, the Ranger Pontoon Boat Fish and Cruise Reata Series 223FC 2024 is a top-class pontoon boat worth investing in. This boat model combines functionality, style, and comfort, all wrapped up with the trusted Ranger name. With an invoice price of $49,055, it's a great deal for those looking for a well-crafted and high-performing pontoon boat for the upcoming boating season.

When our family wanted to purchase our first boat we tried to find information for research. However the only information available at that time was sales brochures. All of the product information originated from the manufactures. The only price we could find was the retail price listings or MSRP (Manufacturer Suggested Retail Price). Magazines featured articles, and had really great photo layouts, it only offered product description and the (MSRP) retail price.
We went to the dealership where the sales guy held all the cards. The best thing he had going for him was our lack of information. We tried to wrangle on price without any real success. We bought the boat, but we paid too much. After that experience we felt there had to be a better way.
So we started this website because we did not want anyone else to feel disadvantaged like our family did that day. We discussed what we would like to see. We found experts in their fields and started asking questions. We then put together a team to research products and most importantly the dealer price. We started with boats and realized that there was a great need for information on many kinds of large purchase recreational vehicles and products.
Look when you visit a dealership for a boat, motorcycle or camper, if you have not done your research your negotiation for that item will start with the Manufactures Suggested Retail Price (MSRP). The highest price you could pay. The sales person will try to see what you know and size you up. If you do not have product knowledge including what the cost was to the dealer – you are going to pay too much.
See Dealer Cost™ offers product information that is in-depth and understandable. You can build your ideal product on line and see what it cost before you walk into a dealership. See Dealer Cost™ gives you the product options and most importantly the cost without the pressure of someone trying to talk you into something.
Knowledge is power.
After you find the product you want on See Dealer Cost™ and configure the options. You can save it to view or reference later. You can also print out what you put together (with the price). In turn you can use this information to negotiate your best deal.
What if the item is used? We are making available all the information we have gathered over the years so you can research to see the original cost. Even on used items you can use our site to negotiate your best deal.
Our passion here at See Dealer Cost™ is to give people power and knowledge. We were at a disadvantage once and we did not like the feeling.
By the way this great idea we had to build a website with this information. We had to fight to be able to bring this information to you. See Dealer Cost™ was supposed to be a one hit wonder. The manufactures magazines that they send to dealers said we would be dead in no time. They pounded their fists on their desks and said the consumer did not want or need this information. They said we would put them out of business. We were sued multiple times by manufacturers for this information. We are still here.
Why would they not want you to be able to see and use this information? They were afraid that you the consumer would be the true winner.
As it turns out – this information has not put anyone out of business. A consumer who is knowledgeable is confident buyer.
So we continue on with our team of experienced and expert people. We constantly update product lines and most importantly the cost so you have information to make your best deal.
We are proud of the team and proud to be able to assist you in your recreational purchase. We do not sell any of the items listed – we just gather the information.
The products include thousands of boats, motors, campers, motorcycles and more. We are constantly working to expand the information we present for you.
We all have families. We hope your buying experience is a better one than our family’s first purchase. Use this website to be a knowledgeable more confident buyer.
We hope we are a valuable resource for you. Enjoy your purchase.
Thanks,
