The Ranger Cup Equipped package adds pro-selected options that let you hit the most daunting tournament trails with even more competitive advantage. Standard with factory-installed 12" graphs from Lowrance® or GARMIN®, the latest in forward-facing sonar technology, and a host of our most popular equipment from the Z521R options list, the Z521R Cup Equipped package packs-on incredible value to the most hardcore tournament-ready machine on the water. We've upped the ante even more by adding a host of top-tier touches to set apart this premium rig even more. New heated Cloud 9™ air ride SRS driver seating carries you in comfort, while a new non-skid traction pad graces the front deck for stylish functionality. Protecting your investment is a newly redesigned boat cover for even greater fit and security. Fishability gets an upgrade with a Minn Kota® Quest 115-pound thrust trolling motor and an optional dual BBT electronics mount keeps your graphs secure and easy to read in all conditions. Finally, a color-matched cockpit floor, push-to close latches, and compartment liner mats complement the peerless style of the Z521R Ranger Cup Equipped. From bow to stern, hull to top cap, the Z521R has been tweaked, massaged, enhanced, and perfected across every inch with a passion for perfection. No element of the boat's design, performance, quality, safety, or fishability was untouched as we crafted this next-generation legend. The culmination of this work has yielded an all-new boat with revamped and elevated all-around performance that melds with aggressive modern styling that sets this rig apart as the apex of bass boats. Real-world improvements include a perfected hull that delivers rapid lift onto plane and a stronger top end. We've also elevated the technology that comes standard on the Z521R. The Ranger R.I.D.E. system lets you monitor and control every critical function while a key fob permits quicker start up and enhanced security when you're not nearby. The Z521R also features an industry-first push-to-start system that gets you to the next spot fast. Deep within the Z521R is a reimagined core and stringer system that not only bolsters our One-Piece Feel Interloc™ construction but permits larger storage boxes for even more space. The rod boxes feature an all-new Echelon tiered shelf system for unmatched customization, flexibility, and capacity and the ability to hole sticks up to 9'. Every box features an automatic light sensor that cuts on LEDs when a lid is lifted. A larger day box and massive 40qt. cooler feature the same construction as today's premium coolers for all-day-long ice. The Z521R carries more advancements in performance, technology, fishability, and style that not only set it apart from the crowd, but leads it.
