    My new ranger rt198p

    Picked it up last week! Had them add a 6" atlas jackplate with blinker trim. First time at wot got 66 mph with just me and full tank, second time 67.1 with just me and trimmed up a 1/2 more. Still fiddling with settings.

    nice!
    Love the white hull! Just keep it waxed, and wipe off immediately after taken out of water, and it should stay nice & stain free for a long long time!
    Congrats!

    thanks, I had an xpress x19 and only complaint I had was storage. Didn’t store any rods over 6’6”. So I traded it in and bought the ranger. I had talks with xpress about the deck when I had my boat custom painted. And the console being hard to see over. Looks like they took my ideas and put it in they new ones to be released.
