The 2026 Ranger RT188P is an 18.8-foot aluminum runabout built around a pad-hull bottom that combines aluminum durability with fiberglass-like performance and handling. Power comes from a Mercury 115 ELPT Pro XS 4-stroke engine paired with a stainless steel propeller. The hull features a reinforced keel, a fiberglass bow panel designed for flush-mounting electronics, and a wide solid platform running bow to stern. The offset transom can accommodate dual Power-Poles with a jackplate.
The boat comes in the Blackout package and is equipped with substantial electronics and fishing gear. Twin Humminbird Helix 9 MSI units are mounted at the bow and console, while an 80-pound Ultrex 24V Minn Kota with I-Pilot Link serves as the trolling motor. Onboard systems include three batteries, Baystar hydraulic steering, an auto bilge pump, and a 15×3 charger. The fiberglass console accommodates large screens and is paired with premium marine-grade seating.
Storage comprises large insulated and gasket-sealed boxes throughout the boat. Deck features include a wide bow platform, a buddy seat, a ladder, and a deck step. A custom boat cover is included. The boat is trailered on a 2026 Trailstar with brakes, a spare tire, and swing tongue.
