    If You Are Looking for an Aluminum Boat

    My brother was picking up some repair parts recently. He saw a brand new silver 2019 RT188 with a Yamaha 115 SHO for 24,500 at a dealer in South Memphis. Actually right over the line in Southaven, MS. ---- Boat Warehouse or something like that.

    He told me today and I am passing it along. That is a heck of a deal on a new 2019 Ranger RT188 boat and motor. Probably does not have some upgrades you might want and negotiate but it is a heck of a starting point. The Yamaha usually sells at a premium so this looks to me like a heck of a deal.

    Just passing it along to maybe help somebody looking .....

    Yep. I bet that's it. He said it was silver.

    That is a heck of a price for a Ranger RT188 with the Yamaha SHO. I would swap the TM for the Ultrex and pay the difference and drive this sucker home. Everything else could be easily added or changed as time goes by.

    I saw another brand with the Merc 115 recently which was $10,000 more than this boat. A person could fish this boat for years and just change the accessories every few years and have a heck of a boat. This is selling with the Yamaha 115 SHO cheaper than some boats that are not anywhere near the build quality of this rig. If I as shopping and within a days drive, I would give this serious consideration. I hope it helps out somebody looking for something to fish from.

    I just came back from looking at the pictures and this has hydraulic steering... Maybe they all do now in 2019. But that's quite an add with the newly designed trailer. Yamaha SHO with hydraulic steering. Nice.
