2026 Ranger RT198P

The 2026 Ranger RT198P is a 19.8-foot aluminum runabout built for serious fishing. Powered by a 150-horsepower Mercury Marine engine, it combines a pad-bottom hull design with an integrated engine setback for responsive handling and performance. The all-welded, wood-free construction incorporates closed-cell flotation foam throughout the hull, contributing to structural rigidity and a solid feel on the water.

The boat prioritizes fishing functionality with a generous front casting deck designed to accommodate multiple anglers with stability. A wider hull profile keeps more surface in contact with the water during trolling motor operation, reducing the effects of wind and wave action. Storage is extensive, including two rod boxes, an insulated in-deck cooler, oversized center tackle storage with locking latches and weather-proof gaskets, and large rear storage boxes tailored for tackle organization.

The center console features fiberglass construction and accommodates a 12-inch electronics display. The rear deck is anchored by a divided, timed, and aerated livewell. Optional Ranger Cup Equipped packages are available with upgraded electronics and trolling motor additions for enhanced capability.
