2026 Ranger Z-Comanche Series Z520R (BROKERAGE)
REDEFINING PROFESSIONAL GRADEWith an unmatched legacy and never-ending drive for domination, this is the ideal go-to for anglers at every level. The Ranger Z520R is the next chapter in bass boat evolution and a quantum leap in design, functionality and dominating performance at every level. From the outset, we took the legendary Z Comanche “C” hull and digitally scanned and perfected it, resulting in an instant hole shot and stronger top-end. We’ve upped the ante even more by adding a host of top-tier touches to set apart this premium rig even more. New heated Cloud 9™ air ride SRS driver seating carries you in comfort, while a new non-skid traction pad graces the front deck for stylish functionality. Protecting your investment is a newly redesigned boat cover for even greater fit and security. Fishability gets an upgrade with a Minn Kota® Quest 115-pound thrust trolling motor and an optional dual BBT electronics mount keeps your graphs secure and easy to read in all conditions. Finally, a color-matched cockpit floor, push-to close latches, and compartment liner mats complement the peerless style of the Z520R. Every appreciable element of the cockpit, decks, and storage boxes has been revamped to complement the enhanced performance of the R Series. We’ve also gone to great lengths to incorporate more standard technology into the R Series, to not only raise the bar for the industry, but to give you greater comfort, convenience, and peace of mind. An all-new console carries dual graphs or a single 16” unit and the touchscreen Ranger R.I.D.E. system integrates total control over every boat and engine function. The all-new seats rest on easy-to-adjust slides and the color-matched fiberglass shellbacks take the aesthetic to a new level. A key fob and integrated push-to-start ignition let you start-up quicker and deliver greater security when you’re on the road. Inside the coin box is a wireless phone charger, and in the battery box are standard lithium batteries. Storage boxes are demonstrably larger, thanks to a redesigned stringer system that builds on our One-Piece Feel Interloc™ Construction. The rod boxes feature our Echelon Rod Storage System with a tri-level storage shelf system that simplifies rod management and offers more room for sticks up to 9’. Inside and out, the Z520R ushers in the next generation of domination. The Z520R. It’s a whole new era of Ranger. |

Buyer’s Guide to Boats and Pontoons
When you think about it, buying a boat is a little bit like getting married. After all, this is the commitment of a lifetime, and you want to feel confident you’re making the right decision! Fortunately, there are plenty of fish in the sea, and plenty of boats and pontoons to choose from here at Howell’s Marine Sales & Service. The following tips can help you narrow down the options and find your perfect match!
Choosing a Boat
What kinds of activities are you interested in? This should be your guiding question when choosing a boat. If catching fish is on the agenda, you should seek out a fishing boat, with features such as rod holders and livewells. If you want to pursue the excitement of watersports, you should look for a boat with a powerful engine that can reach high speeds. Meanwhile, if you are looking to host parties on the water, a spacious luxury boat will serve you best.
That being said, there’s no need to limit yourself. There are some boats that can cover all your bases! Pontoon boats, for example, are incredibly versatile. We are passionate about pontoon boats here at Howell’s Marine Sales & Service, and we recommend them to our customers who want to get a little bit of everything out of their boating experience.
Budgeting for a Boat
Of course, you can’t talk about buying a boat without discussing all the costs involved! The upfront cost of purchasing a boat can be pretty steep, but the long-term costs are even more important to consider. When budgeting for a boat, remember to account for all the expenses that are going to add up over time – such as fuel, maintenance, and insurance.
Generally speaking, it’s a good idea to set aside at least 10% of your boat’s total value each year for routine maintenance, and another 5% for any unexpected repairs. Meanwhile, you can expect to pay about 1.5% of the total value of your boat annually for insurance coverage.
If you have any questions about the boat buying process, you are always welcome to consult the sales team here at Howell’s Marine Sales & Service! We are always happy to assist. You can find us in Chatham, ON, near London.
