2026 Ranger RT198P

The 2026 Ranger RT198P is a 19-foot aluminum runabout built around fishing performance and deck space. Its standout feature is a generous front casting deck designed for multiple anglers, backed by a wider hull that stays planted in the water even when running a trolling motor, reducing wind and wave drift. The boat sits on a pad-bottom hull paired with an integrated engine setback for enhanced handling.

Storage is comprehensive throughout: two rod boxes, an insulated in-deck cooler, and a large center tackle locker all feature locking latches and weather-proof gaskets. Oversized rear storage boxes accommodate tackle trays, while a divided, timed, and aerated livewell occupies the center of the rear deck. The fiberglass console is sized to hold up to 12-inch electronics and delivers solid functionality.

Construction prioritizes durability and refinement. The boat uses all-welded, wood-free aluminum framing with closed-cell flotation foam throughout the hull for structural strength, noise dampening, and a unified feel. The single 150-horsepower Yamaha engine powers the design, which can be enhanced with optional Ranger Cup Equipped packages that add electronics and upgraded trolling motor capability.
