One of our more popular Deep V models is highlighted by a wealth of fishing features that are complemented by creature comforts that put the 1880MS in a class of its own. And with a new bow panel that offers greater convenience and functionality, there's even more to love. A broad beam and 200-horsepower rating deliver spunk and stability to the 18-foot, 10-inch hull that features our exclusive Rite-Track Keel® for superb handling and smooth tracking. A massive front deck is the perfect casting platform and stows a wealth of tackle and gear within the gasketed, lockable boxes below your feet. The aft deck conceals jump seats with storage below for even greater versatility. Inside you'll find a wide-open cockpit that can be perfectly tailored to be a hardcore fishing machine or a smooth, easy-riding family fun vessel ready for tubing, skiing, and the like. A full complement of gear of any stripe conceals within the 1880's clever storages from bow to stern. Integrated tool and drink holders, hand-built seats, stainless-steel cleats, and hardware add class and convenience to this capable performer. Naturally, a custom-built Ranger Trail trailer accompanies each 1880 with bunks, supports, fenders, and brakes specially crafted to make trailering as safe and effortless as possible. From derby days to laid-back days off, you'll find more features and versatility in the 1880 than in any other boat in its class.
