That Maroon sled I'm standing beside might look familiar, its a 392 as well. I sure do like the way that boat fishes. It's not as high tech as the later model stuff, but it gets the job done and is a lot comfortable to boot. Seems like Ranger's quality was a little higher back then too. I didn't really want a dual console when I bought it. Fact is I passed it over for 6 months because of it, and so did everyone else around here. Dual consoles may be the rage elsewhere, but they aren't in this area. You can't give one away till you own one that is. I know I would hate one in a shorter boat, like an 18 footer, but with the 19.5 feet of the 392, it gives you more room and you don't mind the console so much, and that glove box. That's the handiest box I have ever seen on a boat. Its big enough to stuff a bird dog in, and accessible standing on the ground.
Back to the hubs, The tires aren't showing any indication of a bent axle. They are a little worn, but then again, they are 4 years old. The cool hubs are on a 1999 519VS. I guess it might not take being much out of align though. Is yours a tandem or single? Dad's is a tandem, and mine's a single with regular hubs. It seems like it happens on the rear axle more. I wonder if it has something to do with the turning stress on it being a tandem?
