2026 Ranger VX1788 WT

The 2026 Ranger VX1788 WT is an 18-foot aluminum runabout built to balance fishing performance with family-friendly comfort. Powered by a 150 hp Mercury Marine engine, the boat combines practical fishing features with everyday usability across its 8.5-foot beam. The design prioritizes accessibility and storage, with concealed storage built into the rear jump seats, an in-floor cooler, and generous locker space throughout the front deck.

Fishing-focused equipment comes standard, including a Minn Kota trolling motor with dedicated storage, Lowrance electronics, and dual livewells to keep bait and catch fresh. The front deck extends outward to create a large platform for working, while integrated holders for tools, cups, and tackle keep essentials within reach. A foam-filled, all-welded aluminum hull delivers durability, and hydraulic steering provides responsive control.

The cockpit features non-skid flooring for safety and traction, with optional non-skid available on the outer decks. An elevated console in fiberglass provides both functional strength and clean aesthetics. Throughout, the layout emphasizes versatility—whether focused on angling or accommodating a full family, the VX1788 WT organizes space to make either scenario practical.
