Aluminum
The RT188 is the workhorse of the Ranger aluminum lineup. It has the perfect size, performance, and feature set for derby day in a package that's easy to own and easy to fish. Plus, it's Ade even more capable with the addition of the optional Ranger Cup Equipped packages that add a pair of 9" fishfinders and an upgraded trolling motor. The all-welded design is bristling with strength thanks to the full dose of flotation foam packed from bow to stern. This foam serves to insulate the hull from wave shock and vibrations and also deadens sounds so yo ucla stealthily slide into the shallows. A larger-than-most front deck leads the pack in stability and fishability; you won't be stepping on your rods due to a cramped, narrow bow design. The smart layout continues with a recessed trolling motor foot pedal, an 8-foot, 6-inch center rod and tackle locker that's flanked by two massive storages. A handmade fiberglass console houses electronics up to 12 inches as well as precision steering and rocker switches. When combined with a custom-matched Ranger Trail trailer, the RT188 offers Uncommon Performance At Every Level.
