Was able to get my hands on a 50th Anniversary "Icon edition" exclusive traction pad, so I ripped up the carpet and I'm going to give it a shot...

Very Very nice.

Thanks.

I put a bunch of weight on it and let it sit for a week straight now, so it's rock solid and ain't coming off.

Very Very nice.

Ford and Ranger ... Great combination! Looks GREAT! One question though, any reason for choosing the Evinrude engine over the other out board engines? Just curious.

Thanks, appreciate it.

I had a Etec 250 H.O. on my 2009 Z520 and loved it. It was super quiet and I never had any major issues with it (it had almost 600 hours on it when I traded it in....), so I decided to stick with Evinrude. Every time I'd see someone else at the ramp, they would always make a comment about how quiet it was.

With the G2 I got a 10 year warranty so I'm covered until 2028, which is a big piece of mind with a $20k+ motor. And I got $1k cash back from Ranger for going with the Evinrude. I've got about 35 hours on the G2 now and it's been flawless so far. The steering is also contained inside the motor housing, so no more steering cables and rods, just one simple black wire harness going from the outboard to the boat, making the splashwell/transom area a lot more organized and not as "cluttered" as the other brands.
