2026 Ranger VX1888 WT

The 2026 Ranger VX1888 WT is a 19-foot aluminum Deep V runabout powered by a single Mercury Marine 200 hp gasoline engine. Built from .125" aluminum using all-welded, foam-filled, wood-free construction, the hull delivers a smooth, dry ride with Ranger's signature foam flotation. The boat draws design inspiration from Ranger's established fiberglass fish-n-play series, balancing fishing capability with family-friendly versatility.

The cockpit features non-skid flooring, a 7-foot 6-inch center rod locker, and a Bluetooth stereo system with USB and 12V outlets. Electronics include a standard Minn Kota trolling motor and Lowrance navigation systems. An insulated in-deck cooler keeps food and beverages accessible, while a front deck extension with optional pads provides comfortable relaxation space. Dual livewells support fishing pursuits.

Seating and storage are thoughtfully arranged throughout. Rear jump seats include storage beneath them, and clever stowage solutions are distributed across the interior. Premium seating provides comfort for various activities, whether fishing tournaments or family outings. The 8.5-foot beam accommodates generous proportions for a boat of this length, supporting the spacious layout and multiple electronic installations.
