The 2019 Ranger RT188 is an 18.67-foot aluminum runabout built for fishing performance and comfort. Its notably wide front deck provides substantial stability and room to fish without crowding, allowing two anglers to work the bow without interference. The design prioritizes practical fishing functionality throughout—a recessed trolling motor foot pedal, an 8-foot 6-inch center rod and tackle locker, and two large storage compartments keep gear organized and accessible.
The helm features a handmade fiberglass console with space for electronics up to 12 inches, precision hydraulic steering, and rocker switches for intuitive control. The rear deck includes a divided, recirculating livewell with dual storage boxes sized to accommodate standard tackle boxes. Throughout, Ranger's signature flotation foam provides upright, level flotation, while an all-welded, wood-free superstructure delivers durability without unnecessary weight.
The boat is powered by a single Mercury gasoline engine. It rides on a custom-matched Ranger Trail trailer and comes equipped with solid, foam-filled construction for both strength and quiet operation on the water.
