2026 Ranger RT198P

The 2026 Ranger RT198P is a 19-foot aluminum runabout built for serious fishing. Its defining feature is a expansive front casting deck designed to accommodate multiple anglers while maintaining stability. The boat's wider hull keeps more of the structure in the water during trolling, reducing the effects of wind and wave action for more focused fishing time.

Storage is handled thoughtfully throughout. Two rod boxes, an in-deck insulated cooler, and a center tackle storage area are fitted with locking latches, weather-proof gaskets, and insulation. The rear deck features oversized storage boxes sized for tackle trays, and a divided, timed, and aerated livewell positioned at center.

The construction emphasizes durability and rigidity. An all-welded, wood-free aluminum hull is reinforced with closed-cell flotation foam, creating a solid, one-piece feel while reducing noise. Handmade fiberglass consoles provide strength and accommodate class-leading 12-inch electronics. A pad-bottom hull design enhances performance and handling, while an integrated engine setback improves power delivery. The boat is powered by a single 150-horsepower Mercury Marine gasoline engine.
