It痴 been a long time since posting here. I sold my Ranger dealership back in 2006, sold my Z21 in 2012 and forgot about fishing for a while. I知 ready to start again. I am looking at the RT series. From the specs, it looks like the 178 and 188 are the same beam, I assume the 178 is just a foot shorter. Does anyone know if they are 5he same width up front?
