I met Forrest at one of the BASS Classic’s sports show, he was a really nice down to earth guy.. He can thank Ray Scott for putting his boat on the market and giving Ranger the name it has today.

Damn shame Bass Pro bought them out...

"The funeral home has said his casket will have Ranger decals and retail for $57,000*. The casket will be powered by a $25,000 Mercury Verado 350hp."

*Options my be extra.

Don’t have a Ranger but made a lot of money on his FLW tourneys.

I used to play cards with a guy who married his daughter. Keith I think was his name.

kind of odd to be driving through Flippin and there's the Ranger bass boat place, if you didn't know it was there

Flippin is not a major metropolis.
