Big water, Big time fun

The new VX1988WT is a full featured, performance built boat, with unmatched quality to take you on the biggest and roughest waters.

Buoyed by Ranger’s all-welded, foam-filled and wood-free construction with .125” aluminum, the VX1988WT is a solid platform for whatever the day holds. Non-skid cockpit flooring, a Bluetooth stereo, with USB and 12V outlets highlight the interior while a 7’6” center rod locker, standard Minn Kota® trolling motor and Lowrance® electronics get you on the fish in a hurry.
