2025 Ranger RT178

The 2025 Ranger RT178 is a 17-foot 8-inch aluminum runabout built on the same construction principles as Ranger's larger models. Powered by a 75-horsepower Mercury Marine engine, it delivers solid performance in a compact package designed to fit both budget and storage constraints.

The boat's layout prioritizes fishing functionality and angler comfort. An 8-foot port rod locker, three dedicated tackle storage compartments, and an oversized center storage box keep gear organized. The recessed trolling motor foot pedal and wood-free construction throughout reduce maintenance. An ultra-wide deck and cockpit provide stability and working room for multiple anglers.

The .100-inch hull incorporates signature sound-deadening foam flotation throughout, contributing to a smooth ride across varying conditions. Rugged all-weather marine-grade carpet and premium vinyl upholstery cover the interior. The fully featured console accommodates electronics up to 12 inches, gauges, and features a cantilevered design that maximizes both comfort and usable space.
