I have been looking into getting one of these. How good of a deal is this? Any idea how much it would sell for normally? ThanksHey Bhole51, check out Angler's Edge in Loves Park, IL., 815-877-6062. It is exactly a 1 hr and 45 min drive from you. They have a brand new 2018 RT188 in stock with a 115 Evinrude HO for $22,100 which includes freight and prep. You won't be able to find a better deal than this. The Evinrude has the 10 year warranty. They had two a couple weeks ago, but I bought the other one! E.J. and his son A.J. were great to deal with and we did the whole deal by phone and email without me having to drive there until I took delivery of the boat at my convenience a couple of weeks later. You won't be disappointed.
I can't offer much on the boat as it won't be used until spring here in Wisconsin. But it is definitely a looker in the garage! The Lund 1875 Renegade and Nitro Z17 were the other two that I narrowed my search to, but I couldn't pass the deal on the RT188. I love the deck space and storage. The quality of things like carpet and carpet trim, compartment latches, other little things, and especially the seats, impressed me over other boats that I looked at.
