2026 Ranger VX1788 WT

The 2026 Ranger VX1788 WT is an 18-foot aluminum runabout built to balance fishing capability with family comfort. Powered by a single 150 hp Mercury Marine engine, the boat features smooth hydraulic steering and a foam-filled, fully welded hull designed for stability and control. The all-aluminum construction keeps the boat light and responsive on the water.

The layout maximizes usable space throughout. The front deck includes an extension that creates a large platform, dual livewells, and integrated storage for tackle and tools. The cockpit has non-skid flooring, rear jump seats with concealed storage underneath, and an in-floor cooler. Additional storage is integrated across the boat, including space to stow a trolling motor when not in use. A Minn Kota trolling motor and Lowrance electronics come standard.

The fiberglass console combines functional strength with clean styling. Dual livewells keep bait and catch fresh, while oversized storage compartments throughout the boat ensure room for gear and equipment needed for a full day on the water.
