2026 Ranger RT198P

The Ranger RT198P is a 19.83-foot aluminum runabout built for serious fishing. It combines a spacious front casting deck with stable platform design and a wider hull that maintains contact with the water during slow trolling, reducing wind and wave sensitivity. The boat uses all-welded, wood-free construction with closed-cell flotation foam throughout the hull for strength, rigidity, and sound dampening.

Storage spans the entire boat: twin rod boxes, an in-deck gel-coated cooler, oversized center tackle storage with locking latches and weather-proof gaskets, and large rear compartments fitted for tackle trays. The rear deck centers on a divided, timed, and aerated livewell. Fiberglass consoles accommodate class-leading 12-inch electronics displays.

Performance comes from a 150-horsepower Mercury Marine engine paired with a pad-bottom hull and integrated engine setback designed for efficiency and handling. The layout prioritizes both workability and capability across a 7.67-foot beam, positioning the RT198P as a full-featured platform for competitive and recreational fishing alike.
