2026 Ranger RT188C

The Ranger RT188C is an 18-foot aluminum runabout designed for crappie fishing and general angling. Powered by a single 115-horsepower Mercury Marine engine, it combines practical fishing layout with thoughtful storage and comfort features built to handle varied water conditions.

The boat's layout centers on functional deck arrangement. Three seats span the front deck, paired with an aerated livewell integrated into the forward section. An oversized 8-foot 6-inch rod locker accommodates multiple technique-specific rods, while underseat storage and additional lockers throughout the boat provide room for tackle, rigging gear, and general equipment. The fiberglass console features a cantilevered design that frees up legroom and adds structural strength.

Construction relies on wood-free, all-welded aluminum throughout, a process Ranger applies across the entire build. The solid construction methods and attention to detail aim to deliver durability and consistent performance season after season.
