It took us 11 months to bring this 1988 Ranger 363v back to life. We have hundreds of man hours into this project along with THOUSANDS of dollars in parts to fully and completely restore this boat. The original purpose of this project was for us to learn. What it turned into was a lot more than that. It taught us the importance of family and friends, as well as the support you can receive when you put out quality work.
Lastly, this series goes to show that ANYONE can restore an old boat. With the power of the internet and RU-vid you can learn how to do everything from wiring to detailing. So get off the computer and get to work!

Man, I like your attitude and attention to detail! Form, fit, & function, all hallmarks of a job well done. I especially liked the use of the Rhino label system, which I think wire was invented for. The heatshrink labels are durable, easy to read, and don't peel. Keep getting it done like that!

I worked at a ranger dealer for a few years. Loved working on these old rangers. I believe this model had a wood transom before they went to fiberglass. My mentor always told me to put the bottom motor bolts with the nut on the inside to keep water from running up the threads.

Wow! That was an amazing job! I've got an old Cajun bass boat that I want to restore like this. All the new boats on the market are great looking, but I just love the way older bass boats looked. Growing up on Lake Fork in the 80's & 90's, I saw so many of them every time a tournament rolled in & those older boats are still what I like.

I had that exact boat but it was the bass master classic it was used in the bass master classic championship my friend bought it brand new in Springfield Missouri right after they fished it in the bass masters classic I was the second owner. It was a great boat. Wish I still had it to pass it down to my son. Great job restoring this one.
