The Ranger Boats RT188P is the next‑generation fishing vessel that blends the rugged durability of an aluminum hull with the high performance handling typically found in fiberglass boats.

Its “Pad” bottom design—hence the P designation—increases stability at higher speeds while improving overall speed and responsiveness across all RPMs. The upgraded keel structure gives a smoother ride, making this boat ideal for long days on open water or tight tournament courses.

The RT188P features a hand‑crafted fiberglass console that supports large‑screen electronics, premium marine seating, and is built to sit securely on a custom trailer tailored specifically for the hull. Each storage compartment includes gasketed lids with insulation to keep moisture out of your gear.
