2026 Ranger RT188P

The 2026 Ranger RT188P is an 18-foot aluminum runabout built around a pad-hull design that combines aluminum durability with fiberglass-like performance and handling. The hull features a strengthened keel and pad bottom that deliver stability at speed and improved responsiveness across all RPMs. Power comes from a single 115-horsepower Mercury Marine engine paired with a 6-inch jack plate.

The boat carries a handmade fiberglass console with a flush-mounted bow panel for electronics, backed by premium marine-grade seating throughout. Storage boxes along the hull are sealed with gaskets and insulated lids to protect contents from moisture. The wide platform spans bow to stern without steps, keeping rod lines clear. The offset transom is configured to accept dual Power-Poles with the included jack plate.

This example comes equipped with the Cup 2 Package, which includes a pair of 9-inch fishfinders and an upgraded trolling motor. Additional features are a single-axle trailer with brakes upgrade and a full boat cover. The hull is finished in Charcoal BlackOut.
