    Past RT pricing

    Anyone have a link to, or personal recollection of the base price for a 2017 RT188 with a ProXS 115 and basically no options? Thanks in advance.

    2018 Ranger RT188 DC Black/115 hp Merc Pro XS 4-stroke; Garmin LVS34 - south
    14' Mirrorcraft tin boat (ancient) with a 9.9 Mercury 4-stroke, no electronics; catches fish anyway

    I bought a 2015 new. I had the boat rigged out pretty good. Matching Lowrance 7s dash and console.2 power pole blades, trailering cover and mercury 115 4-stroke.
    I think that my final price was about 32k

    I'm looking at a pristine 2017 RT188 with 10 hours on the motor and virtually no other options, hence the reason for my question. The base pricing has gone up quite a bit since I bought my 2014 RT so I'm just trying to get a "feel" on the price. Obviously it is worth whatever someone is willing to pay for it.

    My issue would be only 10 hours on 5 year old motor. Then the batteries sitting for 5 years, will most likely need replacing.

    My 2017 was pretty loaded, it was the dealer/brochure boat in 17. I paid right at 30K including taxes and the longest Merc Platinum extended warranty. I’d imagine I could quick sell it today for 20-24000. Mine has 103 hours on the outboard. I’d also be concerned about ten hours, swapping out old gas, batteries, and trailer tires.

    My 2014 was equipped as above except the TM was a Motor Guide and I added a factory cover. Out the door (including taxes) was $22,827. A 115 Yamaha was $900 more in the price list.
