2026 Ranger VX1788 WT

The Ranger VX1788 WT is an 18-foot aluminum runabout built to handle fishing and family outings in equal measure. Powered by a single 150 hp Mercury Marine engine, it delivers solid performance across open water. The hull is foam-filled and fully welded for durability and stability, with hydraulic steering for responsive control.

The layout prioritizes storage and convenience throughout. Up front, a deck extension creates a large platform with dual livewells, an in-floor cooler, and ample space for tackle and gear. The cockpit features non-skid flooring and integrated holders for tools and drinks. Rear jump seats include concealed storage beneath, while additional compartments are distributed across the boat. The boat comes equipped with a Minn Kota trolling motor and standard Lowrance electronics, with dedicated storage for the pedal motor when stowed.

Practical details round out the design: fiberglass consoles provide both strength and clean aesthetics, with optional non-skid decking available beyond the standard cockpit flooring. Every section of the boat is arranged to maximize usable space and accessibility for anglers and families alike.
