Ranger RT188c

On the way down to Stockton yesterday morning I made a stop at Casey's in Eldorado Springs. New Ram pulls in towing a black Ranger RT188c. Couple guys get out, overalls, tee shirt. Good ol' boys. (I'm dressed the same)
I asked one how they liked the Ranger. He says "Ya know it's a really nice boat. But it leaks. Had it out 3 times and it leaked every time. We can't find anything so we're taking it back to the dealer."
That has to be a rare thing. You can see a video on how they are built and leak tested before they are shipped at Ranger's website.

I have a Ranger 178 and absolutely love it. If it did leak I would think that it happened after it left the factory. I wonder how much it leaked? or did they put the plug in it snug?

I looked at the Ranger RT188C when shopping for a new boat. It was sharp looking and very well built. Front deck was to high for me. I ordered a Xpress H20PHC crappie boat. I think it is as well built with a larger motor and a little less of a price tag. We will see in 6 to 9 weeks.
