2021 Ranger RT178

This 2021 Ranger RT178 is an 18-foot aluminum runabout built for fishing, powered by a Mercury 50 hp four-stroke outboard with command thrust and only 44 hours of engine time. The boat comes with a matching single-axle trailer fitted with custom wheels, spare tire, disc and surge brakes, and a detachable tongue.

The layout centers on fishing capability. A rear folding casting chair and three bucket seats provide seating, while rod storage and a forward storage box keep tackle and gear organized. A transom live well holds baitfish, and a kill box rounds out the working space. Electronics include a Lowrance Hook 4 fish finder mounted for navigation and spotting.

Additional equipment includes outboard power tilt and trim with a trim indicator, a battery charger, fuel injection, a transom saver, and pop-up cleats for line management. The aluminum hull and moderate beam of 7.67 feet give this boat a responsive platform suited to lake and river fishing.
