When you love the value and durability of an aluminum rig but want more fiberglass-like performance and handling, you need the RT188P. The "P" stands for "Pad," which this standout carries. The pad-hull bottom takes the proven tournament-ready layout of the RT188 and adds a dose of stability at speed, as well as elevated performance at all RPMs. Want even more? Opt for one of the Ranger Cup Equipped packages that adds a pair of 9" fishfinders and an upgraded trolling motor. The package doesn't only add capability, it adds a heaping dose of value, too. The RT188P delivers a handmade fiberglass console that carries big-screen electronics, premium, matching marine-grade seating, and sits atop a custom-made trailer that's tailored for this hull. Each of the monstrous storage boxes features a gasket and insulation under the lid to keep moisture at bay. No matter where you look, the RT188P is nothing short of Next-Generation Domination.
