Super User BrianinMD Posted November 11, 2016 Super User Posted November 11, 2016 Just got back from buying a leftover 2015 Ranger RT188, pick it up next Saturday. Has a 115hp Mercury Optimax, so maxed out there. Will be changing out the electronics just don't know what I want yet. Now have to figure out break in for the engine and how will pull that off. 18 Quote

BassResource.com Administrator Glenn Posted November 12, 2016 BassResource.com Administrator Posted November 12, 2016 Congratulations! That's a GREAT boat! Quote
Super User gim Posted November 12, 2016 Super User Posted November 12, 2016 That a boy! I got a 2015 Ranger RT178 wish I could have gotten the RT188 but it wouldn't fit in my garage. Quote
Super User BrianinMD Posted November 12, 2016 Author Super User Posted November 12, 2016 Thanks everyone, can't wait to pick it up and get thru all the legal paperwork. Been writing down a list of things I need to get, which is pretty much everything at this point. Love the storage, center rod locker for 8ft rods and how large the front deck is. Painful not being on the water with it. Quote
Super User Redlinerobert Posted November 12, 2016 Super User Posted November 12, 2016 Congratulations! That's a beauty of a boat. May you catch your personal best in it. Quote
Super User Dwight Hottle Posted November 13, 2016 Super User Posted November 13, 2016 Sweet looking boat, congrats. Quote
Avalonjohn44 Posted November 13, 2016 Posted November 13, 2016 Beautiful boat, congratulations. If that is the Mercury 115 2 stroke, I just got the same motor. The break in is simple, very well laid out in the manual. Quote
Super User Gundog Posted November 13, 2016 Super User Posted November 13, 2016 Cool ride. Hope ya get lots of chances to fish outta that boat. Quote
Super User WIGuide Posted November 16, 2016 Super User Posted November 16, 2016 Congrats on the new boat! I'd be finding a way to get out on the water regardless of what the weather is like. Even if it's just to get it broke in that way you're ready to go in the spring! Quote
