2024 Ranger RT198P

The 2024 Ranger RT198P is a 19.8-foot aluminum runabout designed for serious fishing. Its platform prioritizes casting and angling comfort, with an expansive front deck that accommodates multiple anglers and their gear without crowding. The wider hull design maintains better water contact during trolling motor operation and resists wind and wave interference, delivering improved stability in varied conditions.

The boat's layout centers on angler functionality. A divided, timed, and aerated livewell sits at the rear, while two rod boxes, an insulated cooler, and oversized tackle storage provide dedicated space for equipment. The console features a handmade fiberglass structure engineered to support class-leading 12-inch electronics, and oversized rear storage boxes accommodate tackle trays.

Construction emphasizes durability and refinement. The hull uses all-welded, wood-free aluminum construction and incorporates a pad-bottom design with integrated engine setback. Closed-cell flotation foam throughout the interior adds strength, reduces noise, and creates structural rigidity. Power comes from a single 150-horsepower Mercury gasoline engine built to deliver both performance and reliability.
