Introducing the 2022 Ranger RT178 , a pinnacle of value, functionality, and performance in the world of fishing boats. Crafted with the same precision and quality as our larger aluminum models, the RT178 offers exceptional features while remaining budget-friendly and garage-compatible.

Equipped with an 8-foot port rod locker, recessed trolling motor foot pedal, and three tackle-specific storages, this boat ensures all your gear stays organized and within reach. Plus, its oversized center storage box provides ample space for additional equipment.

Experience stability like never before with the ultra-wide deck and cockpit, offering balance and confidence from bow to stern. The .100” hull, filled with our signature sound-deadening foam flotation, guarantees a smooth and solid ride across all speeds and conditions.

Built to withstand the elements, the RT178 features rugged all-weather marine-grade carpet and premium vinyl upholstery, ensuring durability and comfort throughout your adventures. The fully featured console accommodates electronics up to 12 inches, along with gauges, all while maximizing comfort and space with its cantilevered design.

Measuring at 17 feet, 8 inches, the RT178 boldly boasts a brilliant pedigree matched with outstanding performance, making it the ultimate choice for anglers seeking excellence on the water.
