    I'm Vietnam Vet and my age & health tells me to sell my boat. I have a 2018 Ranger 198P (white),150 merc 4s motor has less than 30hrs. on it, 9"& 7" hooks with Gps & chips. Two reg. seats plus pro pole seat. dual pro 4x10 charger, 1 Alun. & 1 ss. prop. ranger cover plus shipping cover. ranger trailer has disk brakes & spare tire & Trick Steps steps! What is this outfit worth if I want to sell this boat next spring?

    Sorry to read you want to sell your boat. I find the 198 is a very easy boat to manage by myself to load and unload. Best of luck to you with the sale. Thank You for your service.

    I just saw where there is listed a 2023 RT 188P with a 115 Mercury PRO XS 4 stroke, (It looks like STD 4 stroke in the picture) and manual Jack Plate for $42,670. I thought boat prices were coming down? That being the case, I would think you could get at least in the lower 30's for your rig.

    Boat prices are not going down, this is a new norm. Car prices are a different beast. I do not see boat prices going down, they never have and never will. They are selling, long as they sell there is no need to change. Wait a yr and prices will be higher, wait two, will be higher. Shitty reality

    If you use Facebook there is a group called “Ranger aluminum boats for sale” that will give you a good idea of what people are asking.
