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 handling and stability. Powered by a single 115-horsepower Mercury Marine engine, the boat benefits from a reinforced keel and a hull bottom engineered to deliver responsive performance across all RPM ranges.

The boat features a handmade fiberglass console equipped to accommodate large-screen electronics, backed by premium marine-grade seating throughout. A fiberglass bow panel is flush-mounted to accept electronics, while a wide, solid platform runs the length of the boat—from bow to stern—without interruption. The offset transom is set up to accept dual Power-Poles with a jackplate for shallow-water operation.

Storage runs generous, with oversized compartments fitted with gaskets and insulation under each lid to control moisture. The boat comes equipped with a custom-built trailer matched to the hull. An optional Ranger Cup Equipped package is available, which adds a pair of 9-inch fishfinders and an upgraded trolling motor.
