2026 Ranger RT188P

The 2026 Ranger RT188P is an 18.8-foot aluminum runabout built around a pad-bottom hull that delivers stability and performance across the RPM range. The design combines the durability of aluminum construction with fiberglass-like handling characteristics, featuring a reinforced keel and a wide, solid platform that spans bow to stern without steps that could interfere with rod storage.

The boat centers on a handmade fiberglass console that accommodates large-screen electronics mounted on a flush bow panel. Premium marine-grade seating matches the console, and the offset transom is configured to accept dual Power-Poles with a jackplate. Storage compartments throughout feature gaskets and insulation under the lids to manage moisture.

Power comes from a single Mercury Marine 115 hp gasoline engine. The boat rides on a custom-built trailer designed specifically for this hull. Ranger Cup Equipped packages are available as an option, adding dual 9-inch fishfinders and an upgraded trolling motor.
