2026 Ranger VX1988 WT

The Ranger VX1988 WT is a 20-foot aluminum runabout built on an all-welded, wood-free construction with .125" aluminum plating and foam flotation. Powered by a single 250 hp Mercury Marine engine, it combines fishing capability with family-friendly features in a responsive platform designed for both calm and challenging waters.

The layout centers on a fiberglass console with flushmounted R.I.D.E. System Monitor and gimbal-mounted depthfinders that accommodate displays up to 12" with touch-screen switching. A 7-foot-6-inch center rod locker sits forward, while the rear deck holds an aerated, divided livewell with timer. Onboard storage is distributed throughout, with non-skid cockpit flooring for safety. The helm features tilt hydraulic steering for ergonomic control.

Standard equipment includes a Minn Kota trolling motor, Lowrance electronics, and a Bluetooth stereo with USB and 12-volt outlets. The 47-gallon fuel tank supports extended outings, and a 6-amp, 3-bank onboard charger maintains battery systems. This boat suits both tournament fishing and recreational family use without compromise in either role.
