Year 2025
Length 18'2 ft

The Ranger® VX1788WT is the answer for the family who wants it all: fishing capability with all-day comfort, enviable features, and maximum value. Rear jump seats conceal storage underneath, and the in-floor cooler is insulated to keep drinks cold all day. This rig is brimming with angling prowess thanks to standard Lowrance® electronics and Minn Kota® trolling motor with storage up front to stow the pedal when not in use. An all-new kicker option adds greater capability for trollers, while everyone will enjoy the pultruded fiberglass material added throughout that adds strength where it’s needed most. Smooth hydraulic steering delivers commanding control over the foam-filled and all-welded hull while a deck extension offers a large, solid platform up front. Storage options are everywhere you look, proving the VX1788WT is Built For Big Water, Big Fish And Big Families.
