    2020 RT188P

    I’m looking at purchasing a used 2020 RT188P with only 9 hours on it. Was just hoping to hear some of the good, bad and, ugly on this year make and model.

    I see you are in Melbourne, Florida. I fish down in that area from about Thanksgiving until middle of April or so. I have had the RT down there through the winter many years. The boat is about perfect for that area. Mine is the RT188 with a 115 Yamaha.

    One thing I really like is how shallow it will fish and that really helps in some of the Florida water. Another thing you will like is how big the front deck is. I carry several rods all rigged and ready in the front deck and still have plenty of room to move around and stand and fish from the front.

    I came back on edit to add one thing... it is a good boat and would be good for your area lakes. If it is at a good price, I would jump on it. I think that if you don't, it will be gone. Just test the normal things like ...drive it, check for water in bilge after it has been in the water for a while, check on warranty registration transference to second owner, have the motor checked out and check all the accessories are operable. It is a good boat.
