2026 Ranger RT198P

The 2026 Ranger RT198P is a 19-foot aluminum runabout built for serious fishing. Its pad-bottom hull and performance-enhancing integrated engine setback work with the 150-horsepower Mercury Marine outboard to deliver responsive handling and speed. The all-welded, wood-free construction incorporates closed-cell flotation foam throughout the hull for added strength and reduced noise.

The boat prioritizes working space and storage. A spacious front casting deck accommodates multiple anglers with stability, while the wider hull design minimizes wind and wave effects when operating the trolling motor. The console features handmade fiberglass construction and is sized to accommodate 12-inch electronics. Two rod boxes, an insulated gel-coated in-deck cooler, and an oversized center tackle storage unit—all with locking latches and weather-proof gaskets—keep gear organized and protected.

Additional storage comes from oversized rear boxes designed for tackle trays. The rear deck centers on a divided, timed, and aerated livewell. Optional Ranger Cup Equipped packages add a pair of 9-inch fishfinders and an upgraded trolling motor for enhanced capability.
