    Ranger rt178 storage modifications

    Anybody out there modified there rt178 interested in learning new ideas and would love pictures ...very interested to see if anyone else has cut out those tiny pathetic storage tubs in the rear and enlarged them thats on my to do list

    currently i have installed both consoles out of a 2020 198 in my 178 and the 198 coin box in between my seats

    i made tbe second console removable so i can replace it with my third center seat for bobber fishing or another seat in general

    i also removed front tubs and installed carpet under my deck and lighting ...

    I made one of the rear tube more watertight . I took it out and added drains in the corners of the aluminum deck, connected clear tubing routing it to the bilge . So far no water has gotten in there .
