2026 Ranger VX1788 WT

The Ranger VX1788 WT is an 18-foot aluminum runabout built for fishing and family use. Powered by a single 150-horsepower Mercury Marine engine, it combines practical angling features with comfort for all-day outings. The hull is foam-filled and fully welded, with a front deck extension that provides a spacious platform for casting and maneuvering.

Storage pervades the design. An in-floor cooler, oversized compartments, and a front baitwell keep gear organized, while rear jump seats feature concealed storage beneath them. Dual livewells support live bait management, and integrated holders for tools, cups, and tackle are positioned throughout the boat. The front area includes dedicated space to stow a trolling motor when not in use.

The boat comes equipped with standard Lowrance electronics and a Minn Kota trolling motor for precision positioning. Hydraulic steering provides responsive control, and the 8.5-foot beam offers stability. Non-skid flooring covers the cockpit, with optional non-skid treatment available for the decks. A fiberglass console combines strength with clean aesthetics, anchoring the functional layout of this versatile fishing platform.
