2026 Ranger RT188C

The 2026 Ranger RT188C is an 18.8-foot aluminum runabout built for serious crappie fishing. Powered by a single 115 hp Mercury Marine engine, this boat combines practical layout with durable construction to handle both technical presentations and longer days on the water.

The front deck prioritizes angler comfort and functionality with three-across seating and an aerated livewell positioned at the bow. An 8-foot, 6-inch rod locker stores multiple rods for different techniques, while abundant storage throughout the boat—including underseat compartments—provides space for tackle, gear, and rigging equipment. The fiberglass console features a cantilevered design that maximizes legroom, and its construction delivers structural strength.

The RT188C is built using an all-welded, wood-free aluminum frame combined with Ranger's established construction standards and materials. Optional packages add factory-installed upgrades such as dual 9-inch fishfinders and an upgraded trolling motor. Engine horsepower and exterior color are customizable options available at purchase.
