2026 Ranger RT198P

The 2026 Ranger RT198P is a 19-foot aluminum runabout engineered for fishing performance and capability. Built on a pad-bottom hull with integrated engine setback, the design combines speed with stability—the wider stance keeps more hull in the water during trolling and resists wind and wave action. Powered by a single 150-horsepower Mercury Marine engine, the boat delivers the pace and efficiency expected of the flagship RT model.

The layout maximizes angler access and storage. A substantial front casting deck provides room and footing for multiple anglers, while two rod boxes, an insulated cooler, and an oversized center tackle storage with locking latches and weather-proof gaskets handle gear and catch. Aft, oversized storage boxes accept tackle trays, and a divided, timed, and aerated livewell sits centered on the rear deck.

Construction emphasizes durability and refinement. The hull is all-welded aluminum with a wood-free design and closed-cell flotation foam that adds strength and reduces noise. Handmade fiberglass consoles provide a rigid platform for electronics up to 12 inches. Interior details reflect thoughtful finish work throughout the boat.
