My father and I are smitten with Ranger's relatively-new RB190 aluminum bay boat (likely with a Merc 115EXLPT Pro XS or Yamaha F115 or V MAX SHO 115), and are just starting to seriously shop -- ISO a new '18 or holdover '17, to be set up just the way we want it, without paying through the nose for stripping off and replacing the OEM-basic electronics/TM (aside: would much prefer to buy the boat naked and install items ourselves vs. shelling out $1,200 for a 4" Hook and tiller trolling motor that will immediately be replaced!).
Cabela's Short Pump / Gainesville and Angler's Choice are the only games in town in the Commonwealth. Haven't dealt with either yet -- but was hoping to also hear of a couple alternative dealers to contact. Pennsylvania, Maryland, Eastern Ohio, West Virginia, Kentucky, Tennessee, North Carolina or South Carolina. Willing to drive for a "good deal."
Anyone have any thoughts re: who we should check out, in hopes of finding the best deal on a RB190? Thanks!

I dealt with Angler’s Choice, Vic’s Sports Center (Kent, Ohio) and Mare of Aquia/Mare Inc. (Fredricksburg, VA & Thurmont, MD) last winter/spring (2016/2017) on my Ranger search. Vic’s sold a lot of the type of Ranger I was looking at (621 FS) but I decided to go with Angler’s Choice despite them mainly being a Ranger bass boat specialist in this area. Mare kept pushing me to look at Rangers I had no interest in but Angler’s Choice assisted me, without question, on exactly what I wanted despite them not selling many of the 621’s in the past.
I had a great overall experience with Angler’s Choice (Martinsville salesman Trent Bowles) and have had my Ranger in for service once so far with them. Their service department group are professional and very helpful, finding two issues when I had it in that were taken care of under warranty. I even got a wash, detail and wax on the house.
I would highly recommend you give Angler’s Choice in Martinsville a look at.

Try Watson's Marine in Bluff City, TN (Bristol area). You'll have a hard time beating their prices. I bought 2 boats from them - they treated me right both times.
