Yeah the 1800 TF's are fiberglass, I personally own one. And i enjoy fishing with it. The only drawback was when i bought it i noticed it sat a litlte low inthe water and i found out why when I pulled hte carpet back. It had a lot fo water saoked foam and wood in it. Supposable these baots have ALOT of wood in them from what I hear but i dont know how much wood boats in that error normally had. Mine now runs a solid 73 mph on GPs with a johnson 150gt, but that was after taking all the waterlogged foam and wood out and replacing with new foam and alucobond for the floors. Took alot of weight out.
The livewells are a little small it seems in mine, but thats not a big deal.. And i love the tilt steering on the helm.. I dont know if the ranger has it or not.
But follow your heart and your pocketbook, and happy fishing.
(would post a pic but i havent posted 10 things yet.. Was searching for posts where other people had the 1800tf;s and found this one. Must be a rare boat or one thats not really talked about. )
