2016 Range Rt188

Step aboard the 2016 RT188 and you’ll notice how smart the helm layout is for long days on the water—clear sightlines over the bow, easy-to-read gauges, and switches right where your hands expect them. The wide beam gives it a planted feel when you swing the trolling motor around in wind or current, and that extra elbow room lets two anglers work up front without dancing around each other. Owners appreciate how quietly the aluminum hull slips into shallow water, making it easier to sneak up on pressured fish. Add in the low draft and responsive steering, and you’ve got a rig that feels nimble on tight creeks yet confident crossing open stretches.

The RT188 is particularly well-suited to the mixed waters you’ll find in this region. Its shallow draft lets you slide over skinny flats and up into stump-filled backwaters where heavier rigs hesitate, while the stable platform helps when local winds kick up short, choppy waves. The aluminum construction shrugs off the occasional bump with submerged structure that comes with exploring unfamiliar shorelines. With its efficient hull and moderate horsepower needs, it’s economical to run between distant launches and productive spots. Whether you’re working finesse baits along rocky banks or power fishing grass edges, this model offers the control and versatility that shine in these varied local conditions.
