@@HunterObbagy I already sold this boat but if it comes through the shop for service I’ll try and get those measurements

@@nickprocopio-q1s $67,995

I'm sorry, but I no longer have that boat on the property. I will try and get that measurement on the next one I have in stock!

$99,995

What you mean not enough storage , rods ,tackle boxes, etc, I would like to know thanks

@@jpaul4788 rod box giant but has tubes that make it useless. the center box has tubes but is useless, the starboard box is too short and cannot carry a normal oar or a lure retriever pole either. if the tubes were just a big opening like the 520-521 it would be so much better. the starboard compartment needs to go way up under the frt deck also. live well is way too big and takes room from the rear storage area also. the cockpit area is oversized and my 5"9" self cannot reach the hot foot and barely the steering wheel. had to move the wheel back 3.5 inches and hotfoot about 3 to drive safely. it is just not planned out well. Look at a caracal for a great floor plan

@@mikethetoolman8776 that’s a bummer,you paid a lot $$$ , for that boat, I watched this video few times , I see what you talking about,I have my old 19’ foot 06 nitro that i really like the floor plan, 3 center compartments, all new boats have 1 compartment. In the center, I just looking at new boats 19-20 feet, thinking of buying new before I retire in 2027, I just want to make good choice,thanks for your feedback, a lot of people would not say that about something they purchased,& payed that much for $$$ ,

Can't understand your comments about poor floor plan,the best that I have seen.I'n your mind,what 19 footers are better.

@@leonardfitzgerald12 phoenix 919--skeeter 19 footer caracal all 3 better set up on the front deck---- 519 rod tubes suck starboard side rod box too short center fine but again rod tubes suck had to buy a special net and cannot store lure retriever anywhere up front- port box way too wide for just rods hotfoot way far left seats do not move had to put spacer on steering wheel 5"9"--cockpit too big takes room from deck--

no issues on the poles at all have poles on my new one, plenty of room

Agree with the pistons Glenn. I bought mine back in august and made notes for the improvements I'm looking at when I upgrade. The so called windshield Ned's to be just that not a piece of plastic put on top of another piece of plastic. All rangers need to have the recessed trolling motor pedal, mine does not. My 60hp engine also requires me to pump the fuel with a bulb before starting, again another old school process that needs changing. Now with that said my 178c is built very well and the workmanship on the welds are perfect. All in all I'm satisfied but I feel not only Ranger but all boats are well over priced . They are considered a luxury item therefore you will pay a luxury price. This boat looks to me it would retail around the 27k range which is a lot of money for an aluminum boat. It is what it is and you buy what you normally want instead of what you need. Looking to upgrade to the 188rt with the 115 4 stroke myself. It isn't what I actually need , it's just something I want. Thanks

Just purchased the 178 yesterday but was a big fan when looking at the 188. Unfortunately, my garage isnt long enough to fit the 188 or would have taken that one
