2027 Ranger Boats RT188C

A crappie crusher's dream come true

Gunnel to gunnel and bow to stern, you’d be hard-pressed to find a more capable rig, do-all than the RT188C. You can add even more capability with the optional Ranger Cup Equipped packages that add a pair of 9" fishfinders and an upgraded trolling motor, right from the factory, all while saving you cash.

Its design features crappie angling necessities such as three-across front seating and a timed, aerated, livewell right in the front deck. An oversized 8-foot, 6-inch rod locker handles plenty of technique-specific rods while abundant storage throughout carries everything needed for spider rigging, dock shooting, trolling and more. The customization continues with the horsepower rating of your choice as well as your preference of hard-wearing, handsome color. Incorporated throughout the RT188C are legendary Ranger build processes, materials and attention to detail that deliver a comfortable and unforgettable experience every time, all the time. The RT188C truly is the crappie crusher’s dream come true.
