2026 Ranger RT188C

The 2026 Ranger RT188C is an 18-foot aluminum runabout designed specifically for crappie fishing. Powered by a single 115 hp Mercury Marine engine, it combines practical layout with capable fishing features. The boat uses all-welded construction and incorporates a fiberglass console with a cantilevered design that maximizes legroom.

The front deck hosts three-across seating and an aerated livewell built into the bow. An 8-foot, 6-inch rod locker runs along the gunwale, accommodating multiple rigged rods for different techniques. Underseat storage and abundant stowage throughout the cabin support tackle, spider-rigging equipment, and gear for trolling and dock shooting. Optional factory packages are available that add dual 9-inch fishfinders and an upgraded trolling motor.

The RT188C's aluminum hull uses wood-free construction methods and reflects Ranger's standard build standards for durability and finish quality. Engine horsepower and hull color options allow for customization at purchase.
