2026 Ranger RT178

This 2026 Ranger RT178 is an aluminum runabout built for fishing, measuring 17 feet 8 inches with a 7-foot 8-inch beam. It's powered by a Mercury 75 ELPT FourStroke engine and comes on a custom trailer. The all-welded, wood-free hull uses .100-inch aluminum and is filled with sound-deadening foam flotation. The design emphasizes stability with an ultra-wide deck and cockpit layout suited for multiple anglers.

The boat features a recessed trolling motor foot pedal, an 8-foot port rod locker, and three dedicated tackle storage areas plus an oversized center storage box. The console accommodates electronics up to 12 inches and has a cantilevered design to maximize comfort and space. Upholstery is premium vinyl, and the decking is rugged, all-weather marine-grade carpet throughout.

This package arrives fully rigged with a Lowrance Ghost 47-inch 24V trolling motor, two Lowrance HDS Pro 9 units—one at the console with Active Imaging Pro 3-in-1 transducer and one at the bow with Built-In ActiveTarget 2 transducer—plus a dual Pro battery charger. A custom black boat cover and Cup Package 2 are included.
