2026 Ranger RT198P

The 2026 Ranger RT198P is a 19-foot aluminum runabout built for serious fishing. Its wide hull design keeps more of the boat in the water during trolling, reducing the effects of wind and wave action. The all-welded, wood-free construction is reinforced with closed-cell flotation foam throughout, creating a solid, quiet structure. A pad-bottom hull enhances performance and handling across varied water conditions.

The front casting deck provides open, stable space for multiple anglers, backed by practical storage throughout. An oversized center tackle storage box, two rod boxes, and an in-deck gel-coated cooler all feature locking latches, weather-proof gaskets, and insulation. Oversized rear storage boxes accommodate tackle trays, while a divided, timed, and aerated livewell is centered on the rear deck. The handmade fiberglass console is built to class-leading standards and can accommodate 12-inch electronics.

Power comes from a single 150-horsepower Mercury Marine gasoline engine, paired with an integrated engine setback that enhances performance. The layout and engineering deliver capable, efficient operation typical of the RT lineup's proven heritage in freshwater fishing.
