Our flagship aluminum Deep V redefines the category with trendsetting features, construction, and performance. The VX1888WT borrows design cues from Ranger's fiberglass Reata® fish-n-play series of proven winners with families and tournament-savvy anglers alike. Huge electronics, clever storages and a wealth of premium seating deliver comfort and class for any activity. Buoyed by Ranger's all-welded, foam-filled and wood-free construction with .125" aluminum, the VX1888WT is a solid platform for whatever the day holds. Non-skid cockpit flooring, a Bluetooth stereo, with USB and 12V outlets highlight the interior while a 7'6" center rod locker, standard Minn Kota® trolling motor and Lowrance® electronics get you on the fish in a hurry. When the action heats up, reach into the insulated in-deck cooler and relax on the front deck extension and optional deck pads. All of these features and more culminate to make the VX1888WT The New Big Water Standard.
