Ranger RB190 Questions

I purchased mine in Sept 2017, I got a great deal at the boat show, fishing package, stainless prop, a lot less than Ranger website prices, great boat, I am coming out of a Ranger glass boat for 15 years, this model just seemed very practical, lightweight, easy to tow, etc. I have the Yamaha SHO 115. It’s about 6-1/2 feet high to console bar, I have made a couple revisions, see pics, I reversed the livewell lid, much easier access, I put hinges on the front steps, works for wet storage, I put springs on the front and rear hatches, the front lid will break your hand if it falls on you!, springs are stainless and 9 bucks at BPS, I put tubing from the cupholders on the console to the floor drain, minimize water dripping under the console, I also put an hour meter under the engine hood for quick reference. I also reversed the ice chest, the hinge side round corners are a little easier on the legs. Keep in mind, its a higher profile, and catches more wind than a lower boat. For me, it’s a was great decision, just take the pressure washer to it when it gets dirty. The only thing you need be careful of is the throttle, there is no neutral trigger lock on mine, so if you stand up and inadvertently lean into the throttle while you docking or other……..well, you get the picture……….. good luck on your decision……… I am keeping mine!!

Dude....hinges on the triangles. Awesome idea.

I got your front hatch solved though even easier. Just use two pieces of paracord, one on each side to hold it just past 90 degrees (like 100/110) piece of cake. Agree that front hatch is a PITA without some type of restraint.

Great comments. Curious if any of you find yourself hitting the console or any of the rods you might have stored there on your back casts? This boat looks pretty great for an occasional in the salt rig.

Just brought home a 2020 Ranger RB 190 all decked out. Can't wait to get it on the water!

I have a 2019 and love it. Very versatile and roomy.

Anyone one know how tall these or the rb200 sit on a trailer? My garage is long/wide enough but don't know if my door it tall enough the clear the center console.

I want to stay the 190 I looked at was about 7' sitting on the trailer. At the time my door was 18' wide by 7' high and I didn't think it was going to fit under the door with the break over backing up a hill to the garage.

It's about 6'9" give or take to the top of the console rail. It is designed to fit in a 7" garage door.
