2026 Ranger VX1788 WT

The Ranger VX1788 WT is an 18-foot aluminum runabout built for fishing and family time on the water. Powered by a single 150 hp Mercury Marine engine, it combines practical fishing features with everyday comfort. The boat's all-welded aluminum hull is foam-filled for stability, and smooth hydraulic steering provides responsive handling across varying water conditions.

The layout prioritizes storage and functionality throughout. A front deck extension creates extra working space, while the cockpit features non-skid flooring. Dual livewells, in-floor cooler, and concealed storage in the rear jump seats keep gear organized. The front deck includes an oversized baitwell and storage locker, with a trolling motor mounted and pedal storage built in. Cup holders, tackle holders, and integrated tool storage are positioned around the cabin and decks to keep essentials within reach.

Standard equipment includes a fiberglass console and Lowrance electronics, paired with a Minn Kota trolling motor. The boat's design focuses on versatility—equally suited to a day of fishing or time with family—without sacrificing the storage and access needed for serious angling.
