2026 Ranger Z185

The Ranger Z185 is an 18-foot 8-inch bay boat built on a proven fiberglass hull designed for both economy and performance. Its 8-foot beam provides generous storage, stability, and interior space. Power comes from a single 150-horsepower Mercury Marine engine paired with hydraulic steering for confident handling at any speed.

The boat prioritizes fishing functionality. Dual rod boxes with gas-spring-assisted lids and deep drain channels keep tackle organized and dry. A tournament-size 23-gallon livewell with timed aeration and circulation maintains bait and catch throughout the day. The console features a recessed trolling motor pedal, flush-mounted electronics integration, and a Minn Kota trolling motor for precise positioning.

The interior balances comfort with practicality. Custom-fitted premium marine upholstery and Soft Ride Seating bucket seats provide cushioned support, while lockable storage compartments maximize organization. The hull incorporates Ranger's Rite-Track Keel design for tracking and control across speeds.
