Ranger RT188c

[Louisianaman]

I’m interested in knowing if anyone has any experience with this aluminum boat by Ranger?

If you have Facebook, look for the ranger owners group, lot of folks with that exact boat.

Having just looked at basically every boat that floats before buying one. The rangers are nice, love the quality and the trailers. But the storage left a little to be desired and the price was a little steep. I ended up with a Lowe 175, but I found one with a rebate that payed for my upgrades, so it was a no brainier for me. Hard to go wrong with one though.

No input from a user's standpoint but they look awesome up close. If you do decide to go with the Ranger, look into the price of Triton's crappie model. It is the exact same boat, made in the same factory, and by the same people. Only small differneces that should matter if the price is lower. Just did a quick search and they may be 2k to 3k less.

I have a 2015 Triton 18TX with a 115hp Mercury 4stroke. I've had it a little over 2 years now and I've been really happy with it. The Tritons are basically the same as Rangers but they do have a different trailer and the seats and the console are different.
I looked at the crappie version when I bought mine but I ended up going with the bass version. The front deck sits a little lower than the bass version and the crappie version has a front livewell. I do a mix of bass and crappie fishing and I didn't want to give up the storage that the bass version has.
These boats shine when the trolling motor is down. With a 92" beam and a modV hull they are stable for a tin boat. Mine will top out at about 48 MPH on a good day.

I have a 188 ( not the C model ) so far a great boat ... my first 4 stroke motor , it great !

I have the Triton 18cTX and love it. Like said above, very stable fishing and handles rough water much better then expected. 115 merc 4stroke. Plenty fast.

I custom ordered the RT188C in May, 2016 & received in in July & I absolutely love it. I have the Yamaha 4 stroke 115 which is unbelievably quiet. It rides super smooth and is as quiet as can be & if you can afford one, get it. You won’t be disappointed.
