The 2026 Ranger RT188 is an 18'10" aluminum runabout built for fishing. It sits on a custom Ranger Trail trailer with swing-away tongue, aluminum directional wheels, and retractable tie-downs. Power comes from a Mercury 90 ELPT FourStroke engine, with a 22-gallon fuel capacity and 115 hp maximum rating.
The boat features an all-welded aluminum hull with foam-filled construction and wood-free build. The design emphasizes a wide front casting deck with an 8-foot rod and tackle locker flanked by large storage compartments. The center platform runs the full beam width, supported by upright, level flotation. A custom fiberglass console with gauge housing accommodates electronics up to 12 inches and includes precision steering with rocker switches, plus a recessed trolling motor foot pedal.
Onboard equipment includes a divided, aerated livewell with timer, Minn Kota Edge 70-pound 24V trolling motor, Lowrance Hook Reveal 7 chartplotter at the console, and a Dual Pro three-bank onboard charger. Additional features are a stainless steel boarding ladder, automatic bilge pump with remote drain plug, flush-mounted throttle control, competition steering wheel, removable navigation lights, retractable rod straps, and lockable rod storage. A custom black boat cover and a custom-matched Ranger Trail trailer are included.
