2026 Ranger VX1788 WT

The Ranger VX1788 WT is an 18-foot aluminum runabout built to balance fishing capability with family comfort. Powered by a single 175 hp Mercury Marine engine, it delivers the performance needed for open water while maintaining the maneuverability of a compact design. The hull is foam-filled and fully welded for durability and stability.

Storage is prioritized throughout the boat. Jump seats in the rear include concealed storage beneath, while the front deck features an in-floor cooler, oversized compartments, and a baitwell. Dual livewells and integrated holders for tools, cups, and tackle keep gear organized. A front deck extension expands the usable platform and working space.

Standard equipment includes Lowrance electronics and a Minn Kota trolling motor with dedicated storage when not in use. Hydraulic steering provides responsive control, and non-skid flooring covers the cockpit with optional coverage available on the decks. Fiberglass consoles combine functional strength with clean aesthetics, while the wide 8.5-foot beam contributes to stability and interior space.
