2026 Ranger RT188C

The 2026 Ranger RT188C is an 18-foot, 8-inch aluminum runabout built around crappie fishing. It seats three across the front deck and features a timed, aerated livewell integrated into the bow. An 8-foot, 6-inch rod locker provides dedicated storage for multiple technique-specific rods, while underseat storage and abundant additional compartments handle tackle and gear for various fishing approaches.

The boat is constructed with all-welded, wood-free aluminum throughout, paired with a fiberglass console. The cantilevered console design maximizes legroom in the cockpit. Power comes from a single 115-horsepower Mercury Marine gasoline engine.

Ranger built this model with customization in mind—hull color and engine horsepower options are available. Factory equipment packages are also offered, which can include upgraded fishfinders and trolling motor systems.
