Detailed Evaluation & Buyer Recommendation
Ranger 168 BANSHEE 2005 vs Ranger 2200 Bay Ranger 2013 — Same Brand, Different Boat
The Ranger 168 BANSHEE 2005 vs Ranger 2200 Bay Ranger 2013 comparison sits squarely in the category of decisions where specs alone won't tell the whole story — intended use, storage, and long-term ownership costs all factor in.
The power gap is worth calling out. Rated to 150 hp, the Ranger 2200 Bay Ranger 2013 has a 110-hp advantage over the Ranger 168 BANSHEE 2005's 40-hp ceiling — enough to notice on acceleration and at cruising speed, particularly with a full passenger load. Both carry nearly identical fuel loads — 6 gal and 6 gal — so range won't be a tiebreaker here.
For family outings this is probably the sharpest distinction between the two. The Ranger 2200 Bay Ranger 2013 is rated for 6 passengers, while the Ranger 168 BANSHEE 2005 caps at 5. If you're regularly pulling extended family or a group of friends onto the water, the extra seats on the Ranger 2200 Bay Ranger 2013 could be the deciding factor.
Bottom line: Choose the Ranger 2200 Bay Ranger 2013 if your priority is putting more people on the water — it handles 6 passengers and at 22,0 ft it has the deck room to back that rating up comfortably. The Ranger 168 BANSHEE 2005 is the smarter pick if you want a lighter, easier-to-trailer boat rated for 5 that costs less to run day-to-day.
