2026 Ranger RT198P

The RT198P is a 19-foot aluminum runabout built for fishing, with a 150-horsepower Mercury Marine engine driving performance-oriented design. The boat features a wide hull profile engineered to keep more surface in the water when running the trolling motor, reducing the effects of wind and wave action. A pad-bottom hull enhances handling and efficiency across varied conditions.

The boat is organized around serious fishing capability. The front casting deck is oversized to accommodate multiple anglers with stability. Storage includes two rod boxes, an insulated in-deck cooler, and a large center tackle storage area with locking latches and weather-proof gaskets. Rear storage boxes are sized to accept standard tackle trays, and a divided, timed, and aerated livewell occupies the rear deck center.

Construction throughout emphasizes durability and refinement. The hull uses all-welded aluminum with a closed-cell flotation foam core that adds structural integrity and sound dampening. The console is handmade fiberglass designed to mount class-leading 12-inch electronics. The interior features updated touches and wood-free construction throughout, contributing to a solid, unified feel.
