2026 Ranger RT188P

The 2026 Ranger RT188P is an 18.8-foot aluminum runabout powered by a 115 hp Mercury Marine engine. Its defining feature is the pad-bottom hull, which combines aluminum durability with fiberglass-like performance and stability at speed, delivering responsive handling across all RPM ranges. The hull sits on a custom-built trailer matched to the boat's specifications.

The layout centers on a handmade fiberglass console equipped with a flush-mounted bow panel for electronics. The boat features wide, solid decking from bow to stern designed to accommodate standing and movement without obstruction. Marine-grade seating throughout is color-coordinated with the console. Multiple storage boxes with gasket seals and insulation under the lids protect contents from moisture and the elements.

The transom is offset to accept dual Power-Poles and a jackplate setup. The newer, stronger keel complements the pad-bottom design. Optional Ranger Cup Equipped packages add a pair of 9-inch fishfinders and an upgraded trolling motor for expanded capability.
