The first Ranger boat was constructed in 1968, with the same commitment to premium quality and detail that Ranger boats are built with today. The Forrest L. Wood gallery was built to commemorate and share with our dedicated fans the many memorable moments in Ranger Boats and the development of Bass Fishing over the past five decades.



The two story facility, located just south of Ranger Boats, contains many of the awards, photographs, memories, and mementos of Forrest and Nina Wood. Come visit us and share the experience of a half century of outdoor adventure with us.



From our participation in the construction of the Bull Shoals Dam, to our long-time involvement with farming, ranching, guiding, operating float trips, tournament fishing, building boats, and traveling to promote fishing, this gallery represents our personal tribute to family, friends, fishing, and so much more.



Again and again, we're reminded that time spent with family and friends has a way of building individual character and strengthening the bonds that make a real difference. Highlighting so many memorable moments, our Outdoor Sports Gallery reflects this positive impact as well as the tremendous growth in the popularity of fishing over the past five decades.
