2026 Ranger RT198P

The Ranger RT198P is a 19-foot aluminum runabout built for serious fishing. Its standout feature is the expansive front casting deck, engineered to provide stability and working room for multiple anglers in variable conditions. The wider hull design keeps more surface area in contact with the water during trolling, offering better wind and wave resistance.

Storage and tackle management define this boat's layout. Two rod boxes, an insulated in-deck cooler, and a large center tackle storage compartment all feature locking latches and weather-proof gaskets. Oversized rear storage boxes sit above a divided, aerated livewell centered on the stern deck. A 150-horsepower Mercury engine powers the boat, paired with an integrated engine setback for enhanced performance.

Construction emphasizes durability and refinement. The aluminum hull is fully welded and wood-free, with closed-cell flotation foam integrated throughout to add rigidity, strength, and sound dampening. Fiberglass consoles are handcrafted and accommodate class-leading 12-inch electronics. The pad-bottom hull design supports both performance and handling characteristics expected in this class.
