Ranger Owners Group
In order to sign up for Ranger Cup competition, anglers must become a member of the Ranger Owners Group. The Owners Group Premium Level offers the following package: Boat & Angler quarterly newsletter, membership card, Ranger Tackle bag, four custom tackle trays, Ranger fishing towel, Ranger cap and Ranger Owners Group decal.
Powered by Yamaha
Offered again in 2005, the “Powered By Yamaha” element gives participating Ranger Cup anglers the opportunity to win an additional 50 percent more in cash payouts by meeting product and promotion requirements set by Ranger Boats and Yamaha.
To calculate the total Ranger Cup Powered by Yamaha bonus, simply multiply the Ranger Cup payout by 1.5. For example, if the Ranger Cup payout for a specific tournament is $6,000 multiply by 1.5 which equals $9,000 and that would be the total Ranger Cup Powered by Yamaha payout. The winning participant must also meet the Yamaha bonus eligibility requirements to receive the additional payout.
