Our experience with Vic’s Sports Center in Kent, Ohio, was nothing short of outstanding. This is our third Ranger boat, and without question, this was the best purchasing experience we’ve had to date. We recently traded in our Ranger 212LS for a 2024 Ranger Reata 223C tri-toon. While we truly loved the fish-and-ski model, the tri-toon better fits our family’s current lifestyle—and Vic’s Sports Center was the only Ranger dealer willing to work with us on our trade-in, which meant a lot. From the start, Vic and Tom were incredibly accommodating, knowledgeable, and genuinely great people to work with. Despite the six-hour drive to their dealership, they had everything fully prepared ahead of our arrival. The entire process—from paperwork to delivery—was smooth, simple, and completely stress-free. They even went above and beyond by ensuring our trailer’s spare tire was in excellent condition before we made the long trip home. That level of attention to detail speaks volumes. I can honestly say we had zero concerns throughout the entire experience. When we arrived, the boat was absolutely immaculate. We hadn’t seen a 223C in person prior to this, and it exceeded every expectation. The fit and finish on the Ranger is stunning. Tom took the time to walk us through every detail of the new Ranger so we would have no issues once we got it back to New Jersey, which we truly appreciated. They also installed a Garmin graph at the console for us, and it came out perfect—the attention to detail is incredible. It was absolutely worth the drive from New Jersey to work with them, and we cannot wait to start enjoying the boat. We will absolutely return to Vic’s Sports Center for our next purchase and highly recommend them to anyone in the market for a boat. We will definitely be back!

Great experience. Personable, knowledge and friendly staff. Easy to deal with. Hopefully I won't be buying another boat but if I do, I will be buying it from Vic's Sports Center.

I have been going to Vic’s for over a decade now and have nothing but nice things to say. The last time I was there Justin took care of my pump issue and installed a gps/graph and it looks like it came from the factory. And I am happy with the turn around time. I dropped it off during the middle of summer and got it back in less than 9 days (including weekends). With as many boats as they service I was very surprised it was done that quickly. The shop rate is competitive as well. I will continue to take my boat there when I need stuff as I know it will be done right and at a fair price. Thanks for the good work that you do.

I drove out from NJ to buy a boat at Vic's, because they had the boat I wanted. That ended up being a great decision. Something unexpected popped up during the sale, and Vic and his team all jumped in and went above and beyond to straighten it out. Great boat and Incredible service!

I bought a used 90's boat from Vic's in what I would consider for the age in excellent condition, for a great price. Had them outfit it with a new take off trolling motor and new batteries (also for way cheaper then it would have cost myself to do). Not only that but the very few and minor issues I've had that come with boats and especially with an older one they have been there every step of the way with THE BEST expertise and knowledge with helping to get it fixed. Super grateful my friend pointed me to Vic's and when I'm able to buy my brand new ranger one day it will definitely be with Vic's. Can't thank them enough.

Great people and such a great business...
