The 2026 Ranger RT178C is an aluminum runabout designed for fishing, measuring nearly 18 feet long with a beam of about 7.5 feet. It's powered by a single 75-horsepower Mercury Marine engine.
The layout prioritizes angler functionality. The bow features three-across seating with an 8-foot, 6-inch rod box mounted forward, complemented by a wider bow design to keep rods clear of foot traffic. Below the bow seating sits an in-deck tackle storage box and a divided, timed, and aerated livewell. The rear deck includes two additional tackle storage compartments and a second livewell, with open space for fishing. Under the bench seating you'll find more storage, while the fiberglass console is built to offer generous legroom.
The upholstery is marine-grade, and the boat comes equipped with dual aerated livewells for live bait management. A custom Ranger Trail trailer built to match this hull is included, finished with premium wheels and Road Armor coating for corrosion protection.
