The 2025 Ranger RT178 is a 17-foot 8-inch aluminum runabout built with the same construction standards as larger models in its class. Powered by a 60-horsepower Mercury EFI four-stroke engine with just 13.4 hours on it, the boat carries a hull filled with sound-deadening foam and features a .100-inch hull thickness that delivers stability at speed. The interior uses marine-grade carpet and premium vinyl upholstery throughout.
The boat prioritizes angler comfort and storage. An 8-foot port rod locker runs along one side, with dedicated tackle storage under both the port and starboard decks and an oversized center storage box. A recessed trolling motor foot pedal is integrated into the deck design. The console accommodates electronics up to 12 inches and is positioned to maximize cockpit space, while the ultra-wide deck and cockpit offer stable footing and room for multiple people across the boat.
The 2025 Trailstar trailer includes brakes, a spare tire, swing tongue, and tie-down straps. The boat comes with a cover, boarding ladder, a Garmin flush-mount depth finder, three batteries, and a three-bank charger.
