Lowered Price For Sale: 1997 Ranger 519SVS Comanche – Tournament Ready | $16,500

Post by Droppindrakes »

Up for sale is my 1997 Ranger 519SVS Comanche a legendary platform that’s been upgraded well beyond its age. This is not your typical ‘90s hull. It’s tournament-ready, runs strong all day, and has been modernized with newer electronics, motor, and trailer.
🔧
Upgrades & Highlights:


2012 Mercury Optimax Pro XS 200HP - bought brand new (not rebuilt), ~400 hours, runs flawlessly; First turn of key fires right up!
RangerTrail tandem axle trailer (2015) - came off a top-tier Ranger Z520C worth over $90K, smooth towing, swing-away tongue. Trailer alone worth over $6K
Minn Kota Ultrex 112 36V trolling motor - Spot-Lock & remote control
Lowrance HDS Carbon 16” at console – purchased new in 2018 for $5K, includes Active Imaging HD 3-in-1 transducer
Lowrance HDS 9” at the bow – works great
4 newer batteries – holds charge strong
Seats in great condition


🛠️ Condition Notes:

Starts immediately and runs all day; rock solid on the water
Carpeting is worn but fully functional; priced accordingly


This setup is ideal for someone who wants top-shelf performance without dropping $70K+. Asking $18,500.

If you’re looking for a fast, reliable, tournament-ready rig with all the key upgrades already done, this is it.

📍 Boat is kept in Covered Storage facility at Whiskey Slough Marina on the CA Delta. I am Located in El Dorado Hills, CA;
Can set up a meeting to test drive on the water for serious buyers only!

This is a lot of boat for the price… Trailer and equipment is worth that! Hull is just a bonus! First person with cash in hand gets it!

If you’ve been hunting for a tournament-ready rig without spending $70K+, this is it. This 1997 Ranger 519SVS Comanche has been fully upgraded and dialed in for serious anglers. The upgrades alone are worth more than my asking price — the legendary Ranger hull is the bonus.

Key Features & Upgrades:
• 2012 Mercury Optimax Pro XS 200HP – 300+ hours, fires first turn every time.
• Minn Kota Ultrex (36V, 112lb thrust) – Spot-Lock, remote or foot control, unmatched holding power.
• Electronics: 16” Lowrance HDS Carbon at console + 9” HDS Live on a custom bow mount.
• Hot Foot Pedal – better handling and faster throttle response.
• Hydraulic Steering – smooth, precise control.
• 2015 Ranger Trail Trailer – from a $90K rig, excellent condition.
• Stored in covered storage at Whiskey Slough Marina for the last 10 years.

This boat is better equipped for tournament fishing than many brand-new boats. First serious buyer with cash in hand takes it. Available for a test drive at Whiskey Slough Marina.

Price lowered to $15K! The trailer, 16” LOWRANCE HDS CARBON, and the 36V Ultrex with 2012 optimax pro Xs 200 The boat starts up first turn of key every time.. Carpet is original And has tears in it so if you want it to look like a new boat spend another $500-$1500 and replace the old carpet or put down that rubber foam. $15k price drop leaves enough to pay for the new rugs!
