What prop came with the motor? I am looking hard at these.

If you go with the stainless prop, it's the 23 pitch tempest
Very nice boat for sure. I am planning to purchase one in the very near future. I have a question for you guys though. I have looked at all of the options on the trailers and at multiple pics of different rigs. I have not seen anything about a tandem axle trailer. Is that not an option from Ranger?
What did you mean about flipping rod box pistons..I have a 198 being delivered in 2 weeks. What's the problem with them ?
Single axle with hydraulic surge brakes only to my knowledge. No need for a double axle anyway.Originally Posted by baitslinger
Whoever installs them at ranger is installing them wrong. 100% of the boats i have looked at have them installed wrong. The shaft should be facing down, all I have seen including my boat were facing up. this causes the door to slam open.
Yep. Our RT188 were also installed upside down. Very easy to swap around and makes a HUGE difference in how they operate.

Thanks bamaman84 for the response. I just prefer the look of the tandem trailer.
Very nice rig!!! Enjoy the big brother to the RT188....

Good luck with your new rig. I just picked up my new 198 with a 150 Evinrude HO. I have not even got it registered as yet. Be sure to check your box lid pistons mine are installed upside down.
