Ranger 191 Cayman 2007 vs Ranger 520VX TOUR EDITION 2005 — Same Brand, Different Boat

The Ranger 191 Cayman 2007 vs Ranger 520VX TOUR EDITION 2005 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.

Both boats share a closely matched power ceiling — 200 hp for the Ranger 191 Cayman 2007 and 200 hp for the Ranger 520VX TOUR EDITION 2005. Real-world performance will come down more to which motor is actually bolted on, its load at the time, and whether it's a 4-stroke or 2-stroke setup. Fuel capacity breaks the other way: the Ranger 191 Cayman 2007 carries 48 gallons versus 26 gallons in the Ranger 520VX TOUR EDITION 2005. 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 520VX TOUR EDITION 2005 is rated for 6 passengers, while the Ranger 191 Cayman 2007 caps at 5. If you're regularly pulling extended family or a group of friends onto the water, the extra seats on the Ranger 520VX TOUR EDITION 2005 could be the deciding factor.

Bottom line: Choose the Ranger 520VX TOUR EDITION 2005 if your priority is putting more people on the water — it handles 6 passengers and at 0,0 ft it has the deck room to back that rating up comfortably. The Ranger 191 Cayman 2007 is the smarter pick if you want a lighter, easier-to-trailer boat rated for 5 that costs less to run day-to-day.

Ranger 191 Cayman 2007 vs Ranger 520VX TOUR EDITION 2005 — Common Questions

Which is easier to trailer — the Ranger 191 Cayman 2007 or the Ranger 520VX TOUR EDITION 2005?
For trailering, the Ranger 191 Cayman 2007 has the edge at 118 lbs dry weight versus 175 lbs for the Ranger 520VX TOUR EDITION 2005. Add a motor (typically 300–500 lbs for an outboard in this class), gear, and a partial fuel load and the difference grows. Lighter is friendlier on smaller tow vehicles and on fuel economy while hauling.
How many people can each boat hold?
The Ranger 191 Cayman 2007 is Coast Guard rated for 5 passengers, while the Ranger 520VX TOUR EDITION 2005 is certified for 6. Note that legal capacity and comfortable capacity aren't always the same thing — on a full day out, most experienced boaters aim for about 80% of the rated number to keep things comfortable.
Do these boats require an oversize trailer permit to tow on US highways?
Both the Ranger 191 Cayman 2007 and Ranger 520VX TOUR EDITION 2005 share an 93 in beam — meaning both sit right at the 8’6" threshold that most US states use for standard-width loads. In most states you can tow at that width without a special permit, but regulations vary. Always check the rules for your state and any states you'll be passing through before your first long haul.
Which boat has the larger fuel tank — the Ranger 191 Cayman 2007 or the Ranger 520VX TOUR EDITION 2005?
The Ranger 191 Cayman 2007 has the bigger tank at 48 gallons, versus 26 gallons on the Ranger 520VX TOUR EDITION 2005. That 22-gallon difference translates to roughly 66–110 nautical miles of additional range at cruising speed, depending on motor, load, and conditions.
Are the Ranger 191 Cayman 2007 and Ranger 520VX TOUR EDITION 2005 from the same manufacturer?
Yes — both the Ranger 191 Cayman 2007 and the Ranger 520VX TOUR EDITION 2005 are built by Ranger. That means shared dealer networks, common parts availability, and consistent build quality across the line. The choice between them is essentially a question of how much boat you need, not which brand you trust.
