The 2025 Ranger RT188 is an 18-foot 10-inch aluminum runabout built for fishing performance and durability. The all-welded hull incorporates full flotation foam from bow to stern, which absorbs wave shock and reduces vibration and noise—useful when approaching shallow water. The foam-filled design delivers both strength and a stable platform across the beam.
The boat's layout prioritizes fishing functionality. A generously sized front deck provides room and stability without the constraint of a cramped bow. The helm features a handmade fiberglass console that accommodates electronics up to 12 inches, paired with precision steering and rocker switches. An 8-foot 6-inch center rod and tackle locker sits between two large storage compartments, and the trolling motor foot pedal is recessed into the deck for convenience. An aerated, divided livewell rounds out the working features.
Power comes from a single Mercury Marine 115 hp gasoline engine. The boat is equipped with a custom-matched Ranger Trail trailer as part of the package.
