2021 Ranger RT198P
About This Yacht
The 2021 Ranger RT198P is a 19-foot aluminum runabout built for serious fishing. Powered by a single 150-horsepower Mercury engine, it combines a spacious front casting deck with thoughtful layout that prioritizes anglers—multiple rod holders stay clear of the working area, and the wider hull keeps more surface in contact with water for better trolling motor control and stability in wind and wave action.
Storage and tackle management are central to the design. Two rod boxes, an in-deck gel-coated cooler, and oversized rear storage boxes provide ample space for gear and tackle trays. The rear deck features a divided, timed, and aerated livewell. The fiberglass console accommodates up to 12-inch electronics and delivers both strength and clean aesthetics.
Hull construction emphasizes durability and comfort. A pad-bottom design enhances performance and handling, while closed-cell flotation foam throughout the interior solidifies, strengthens, and dampens vibration. The all-welded, wood-free aluminum build avoids traditional maintenance concerns. Integrated engine setback positioning optimizes power delivery and handling characteristics across a range of speeds.
