We've taken one of the best-selling and best-performing aluminum bass rigs and added even more tournament-ready capability. A pad-bottom hull delivers greater performance and handling in conjunction with an offset transom that accepts dual Power-Poles with a jackplate. An innovative keel design delivers greater strength and rigidity than ever. The front deck is ripe with features but retains the same extra-wide design that delivers superior stability and space for anglers and gear. A fiberglass bow panel flush-mounts electronics up to 9" front and center, which lies at the perfect angle for easy viewing. A port side rod box holds sticks up to 7' while the center stow carries rods up to 8' 6". An insulated cooler rides in front of the console and just aft of a lockable storage box. The underside of every lid features foam insulation. The cockpit features twin footboards and a storage step to the front deck, while the gas tank has been moved under the seats, freeing up more space in the bilge for pumps, props and batteries. Rear deck boxes carry more gear than ever. The RT188p is nothing short of Next-Generation Domination.
