Detailed Evaluation & Buyer Recommendation
Ranger 191 Cayman 2006 vs Ranger VX Comanche Series - 520VX Tour Edition 2007 — Same Brand, Different Boat
The Ranger 191 Cayman 2006 vs Ranger VX Comanche Series - 520VX Tour Edition 2007 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.
Size is the most obvious dividing line here. The Ranger 191 Cayman 2006 measures 19,0 feet overall (2006), giving it roughly 17,0 additional feet of deck space compared to the Ranger VX Comanche Series - 520VX Tour Edition 2007 at 2,0 feet (2007). Weight tells a clearer story for trailering families: the Ranger VX Comanche Series - 520VX Tour Edition 2007 tips the scales at 1 725 lbs — 1 607 lbs less than the Ranger 191 Cayman 2006 at 118 lbs. That difference is meaningful if you're working within a half-ton or three-quarter-ton truck's tow rating, especially once you factor in a motor, gear, and fuel.
The power gap is worth calling out. Rated to 225 hp, the Ranger VX Comanche Series - 520VX Tour Edition 2007 has a 25-hp advantage over the Ranger 191 Cayman 2006's 200-hp ceiling — enough to notice on acceleration and at cruising speed, particularly with a full passenger load. Fuel capacity breaks the other way: the Ranger VX Comanche Series - 520VX Tour Edition 2007 carries 52 gallons versus 48 gallons in the Ranger 191 Cayman 2006. On a lake day that's negligible, but for coastal cruising or long reservoir runs the extra range matters.
For family outings this is probably the sharpest distinction between the two. The Ranger VX Comanche Series - 520VX Tour Edition 2007 is rated for 6 passengers, while the Ranger 191 Cayman 2006 caps at 5. If you're regularly pulling extended family or a group of friends onto the water, the extra seats on the Ranger VX Comanche Series - 520VX Tour Edition 2007 could be the deciding factor.
Bottom line: Choose the Ranger VX Comanche Series - 520VX Tour Edition 2007 if your priority is putting more people on the water — it handles 6 passengers and at 2,0 ft it has the deck room to back that rating up comfortably. The Ranger 191 Cayman 2006 is the smarter pick if you want a lighter, easier-to-trailer boat rated for 5 that costs less to run day-to-day.
