As the flagship of the RT lineup, the RT198P is a true standout with greater performance, fishability, and capability than most anything in its class. A monster front casting deck delivers space and stability for multiple anglers without breaking a sweat. Our wider design keeps more of the hull in the water while on the trolling motor so you're less affected by wind and wave action, delivering frustration-free fishing. It also provides superior storage via two rod boxes, an insulated cooler, and an oversized center tackle storage, all with locking latches and weather-proof gaskets and insulation. With an advanced pad-bottom hull, performance-enhancing integrated engine setback, 150-horsepower rating and a big-league layout, you'll stand out and fly by. Unparalleled craftsmanship is obvious inside and out from the all-welded, wood-free construction to the updated interior touches and handmade fiberglass consoles that hold class-leading 12-inch electronics. Inside the hull is our signature closed-cell flotation foam that solidifies, strengthens and quiets the design for a solid one-piece feel. Oversized rear storage boxes are tailor-made for tackle trays and the rear deck is centered by a divided, timed and aerated livewell. Want even more derby-ready goodness? Opt for one of the Ranger Cup Equipped packages that adds a pair of 9" fishfinders and an upgraded trolling motor, packaged to make you more effective and save you money. Welcome To The Big Leagues.
