Ranger 519VX TOUR EDITION 2006 vs Ranger Z22 COMANCHE SERIES 2005 — Same Brand, Different Boat

The Ranger 519VX TOUR EDITION 2006 vs Ranger Z22 COMANCHE SERIES 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.

The power gap is worth calling out. Rated to 250 hp, the Ranger Z22 COMANCHE SERIES 2005 has a 100-hp advantage over the Ranger 519VX TOUR EDITION 2006's 150-hp ceiling — enough to notice on acceleration and at cruising speed, particularly with a full passenger load.

For family outings this is probably the sharpest distinction between the two. The Ranger Z22 COMANCHE SERIES 2005 is rated for 6 passengers, while the Ranger 519VX TOUR EDITION 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 Z22 COMANCHE SERIES 2005 could be the deciding factor.

Bottom line: Choose the Ranger Z22 COMANCHE SERIES 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 519VX TOUR EDITION 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.

Ranger 519VX TOUR EDITION 2006 vs Ranger Z22 COMANCHE SERIES 2005 — Common Questions

Which is easier to trailer — the Ranger 519VX TOUR EDITION 2006 or the Ranger Z22 COMANCHE SERIES 2005?
For trailering, the Ranger 519VX TOUR EDITION 2006 has the edge at 1 605 lbs dry weight versus 1 965 lbs for the Ranger Z22 COMANCHE SERIES 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.
Which boat can handle a bigger outboard?
The Ranger Z22 COMANCHE SERIES 2005 is rated to a maximum of 250 hp, giving it the larger power ceiling. The Ranger 519VX TOUR EDITION 2006 tops out at 150 hp. Keep in mind that maximum ratings are just that — matching the motor to the actual load and usage pattern usually matters more than chasing the ceiling.
How many people can each boat hold?
The Ranger 519VX TOUR EDITION 2006 is Coast Guard rated for 5 passengers, while the Ranger Z22 COMANCHE SERIES 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.
Which boat is wider, and does it affect trailering?
The Ranger Z22 COMANCHE SERIES 2005 measures 95" wide, compared to 92" for the Ranger 519VX TOUR EDITION 2006. The US standard-width towing limit is 8’6" (102") in most states — anything over that may need a wide-load permit. Confirm your specific route requirements with each state's DOT.
Are the Ranger 519VX TOUR EDITION 2006 and Ranger Z22 COMANCHE SERIES 2005 from the same manufacturer?
Yes — both the Ranger 519VX TOUR EDITION 2006 and the Ranger Z22 COMANCHE SERIES 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.
