Got one in the garage and if the wind ever lets up I'll have it back on the water by the weekend. You've bought a good boat; enjoy it safely!
Tight lines!

You'll be happy with the Pro xs! I have the regular Merc 4 stroke and my partner has a Triton aluminum with the Pro xs and it will run circles around mine! Overall, I love my RT!

I've been seriously contemplating getting one with the rawhide interior instead of carpet. much less maintenance and I don't have to worry about catfish slime or whatever else when the kids want to go fishing.

Curious in how the "C" model differs from the regular one ? The "c" is for Crappie. It comes standard with the 3 seat bases up front, front and rear live well, and has a different storage layout.

I've had my rt188 for just over 2 years, and just installed a new Ultrex on it about 2 months ago. it has the pro xs 115 on it, and will run as fast as I want to go. equally comfortable at lake fork or launching off a bank in a private pond. love it.

I've had one for a year now and am enjoying it. It's stable, economical and well made. The ride is good, maybe a little spray in a chop. I love the 115 Fourstroke; so quiet I forget to turn it off. Glad I got an 80lb TM. No Talon for me.

Well ended up going with power pole sportsman instead of talon . Thought it might be wise since ranger said that is what they insist on. Unless you don't care for a warranty .anyway pleased with what I got .

Congrats! I love Ranger boats! I have an old 90s model that was handed down from my grandfather, would never trade it in for the world.
