The Ranger® RT178C is custom crafted to deliver big capability and performance for those who chase all things fishy. And when you upgrade to the Ranger Cup Equipped package, you get the best-of-the-best in fish finders and trolling motors, all at a spectacular value. Up front, three-across front seating offers room for spider-rigging or shooting docks while an 8-foot, 6-inch rod box safely holds your longer sticks, and the wider design of the bow means you won't be stepping on your rods all day. An in-deck bow tackle storage box keeps gear close at hand, and a divided, timed, and aerated livewell is just underfoot. The rear deck features two more tackle storages and another livewell along with plenty of room to fish. Underneath the bench seating is even more storage while the cantilevered fiberglass console offers a surprising amount of legroom. Rounding out this capable package is a custom-built Ranger Trail® trailer that's made specifically for this hull with premium wheels and a dose of Road Armor Equipped® coating for years of protection and peace of mind.
