2026 Ranger RT198P

The 2026 Ranger RT198P is a 19-foot aluminum runabout built for serious fishing performance. Powered by a single 150-horsepower Mercury Marine engine, it combines a pad-bottom hull design with integrated engine setback to deliver both speed and stability. The boat sits on a tandem-axle trailer with Road Armor braking, swing tongue, and aluminum wheels.

The standout feature is the expansive front casting deck, engineered with a wider hull profile that keeps more of the structure in the water when operating the trolling motor, reducing the effects of wind and wave action. The design yields three dedicated storage systems: two rod boxes, an insulated cooler, and a center tackle storage compartment, all fitted with locking latches, weather-proof gaskets, and insulation. Rear storage boxes flank a divided, timed, and aerated livewell at the center of the deck.

The console houses fiberglass construction and can accommodate 12-inch electronics displays. The hull is all-welded and wood-free, with closed-cell flotation foam throughout that adds rigidity and noise dampening. Interior appointments reflect updated finish work and solid craftsmanship. Factory options include a Dual Pro three-bank 15-amp on-board charger, Baystar hydraulic tilt steering, stainless steel boarding ladder, and a Blackout Package with dark carbon accents and upholstery. Mercury SmartCraft Connect marine electronics have been installed.
