Ranger Africa

 
 

Hi my name is John Bulpitt, I am your Genmar Ranger Boats appointed agent for Africa.

I have Bass fished since I was four years old, brought up most weekends of my life fishing the dams and lakes of the old colonial Rhodesia. It was a long learning experience of some of the best fishing I would experience in my life time. During that time I began my bass boating quest, from ten foot model’s to seventeen foot bass models I owned six different units until I immigrated after the Rhodesian war in 1981 to South Africa.

Living in the Transvaal for many years I became serious about the USA , tournaments, and YES BASS  BOATS!! My experience as an Aircraft technician gave me a huge advantage into to quality, design and any job that had to be done right when it came to boats and rigging! Since then I have qualified thirty four times for South Africa and represented in the USA sixteen times. I have fished off every make of Bass Boat available in the USA and in South Africa and have intensive technical and in -depth knowledge of this product and industry.

In 1984 I represented the first SA Bass team to the USA. While there I decided on a Kevlar re- enforced hull from Hydra Sports and a bassin buddy of mine Gil Eggberry and I brought the first 15’ & 17’ models into South Africa.From these hulls many of the models in our local boats were derived ,plus following Ranger hulls.

In 1987 Gordon Brown and I imported the first Ranger 320 V   15’ 10” long boats into the country. These two units are still alive and well twenty three years later !  in excellent structural condition!!

What a testimony to quality of build and durability. They are both still running the 175HP EFI Mariner motors they were fitted with originally. Their re sale value was impressive even after twenty three years.

YOU WON”T SEE ANY OTHER IMPORTS AROUND THAT CAN BOAST THEIR AGE!!!   IF YOU WANT A BOAT THAT HAS LEGENDARY DURABILITY AND RE -SELL VALUE     “THEN IT’S A RANGER BOAT “

I have owned three Ranger Boats since then and am proud to say that there are approximately forty Ranger Boats in Sub Africa. As a buyer I want to assure you that there is no equal to a Ranger boat, it is the yardstick that all other bass boats are measured by. I have been selling Ranger Boats since 1987 in South Africa, and the Ranger name is fast becoming a tradition among serious fishermen who only want the best.

I have visited with the Ranger factory in Arkansas USA several times. From a structural and quality there is no other boat company that has such stringent quality controls of their material as Ranger does.

They have always been leaders in floatation technology long before anyone else, and have more positive foam sealed in every space in their hulls than any other boat brand on the market!

If you are looking for the best built and looking Bass Boat in the world with the best re sale value and after sales service, then I am the most qualified bass angler in SA history with intimate knowledge of this industry to sell you the RANGER BOAT!

Choosing and ordering a boat is only one part of the deal, getting it packed in the USA for shipping is an art only learned thru many years of import, protecting the brilliant metal flake finishes and custom upholstery from a very rough ride across the world’s oceans. We at Ranger Africa take pride in our preparation packing and detail of your custom boat.

I personally offload the boats at the SA docks and whisk them away for final prepping for engines and delivery to the customer.All boats are delivered with full instruction re use and handling.Finance and craft insurance are also part of our personal service.

There is a well stocked spares and warranty store to back Ranger Boats Africa, we are only a flight away to anywhere in South Africa. If we do not have what you need then it can be air freighted within days from the USA.

So you have to ask yourself if you could afford the best, why would you choose anything less than a RANGER BOAT??

Call me for your personal custom color Ranger Boat and

“LIVE THE DREAM AND OWN THE LEGEND!!! “
