2026 Ranger RT188

The 2026 Ranger RT188 is an 18-foot 10-inch aluminum runabout built for fishing and day outings. Powered by a single 115-horsepower Mercury Marine engine, it delivers a compact, manageable platform for shallow-water exploration and tournament fishing. The all-welded aluminum hull is filled with flotation foam from bow to stern, providing structural strength, sound damping, and insulation from wave shock and vibration.

The bow features an unusually wide front deck, offering stability and working room without the constraints of a narrow design. The layout includes a recessed trolling motor foot pedal, an 8-foot 6-inch center rod and tackle locker flanked by two large storage compartments, and a handmade fiberglass console that accommodates electronics up to 12 inches and houses precision steering and rocker switches. A large, aerated livewell with divided sections rounds out the fishing-focused interior.

The boat comes equipped with a custom-matched Ranger Trail trailer, making it transportable and ready to deploy from multiple launch sites.
