The 2026 Ranger RT188P is an 18.8-foot aluminum runabout built around a pad-hull bottom designed to deliver fiberglass-like performance and handling. The padded bottom hull combines with a reinforced keel to improve stability at speed and responsiveness across the RPM range. Power comes from a single 115-horsepower Mercury Marine engine.
The boat features a handmade fiberglass console fitted with a flush-mounted electronics panel in the bow, premium marine-grade seating throughout, and a wide, solid platform running bow to stern. The layout keeps the deck clear for standing room without obstruction. Large storage boxes with gaskets and insulated lids protect gear from moisture.
The transom is designed with an offset configuration that accommodates dual Power-Poles and accepts a jackplate. The boat comes on a custom-built trailer tailored for the hull. Optional upgrades include Ranger Cup Equipped packages that add dual 9-inch fishfinders and an upgraded trolling motor.
