Just got back from buying a leftover 2015 Ranger RT188, pick it up next Saturday.

Has a 115hp Mercury Optimax, so maxed out there. Will be changing out the electronics just don't know what I want yet.

Now have to figure out break in for the engine and how will pull that off.

    Thanks everyone, can't wait to pick it up and get thru all the legal paperwork.

    Been writing down a list of things I need to get, which is pretty much everything at this point.

    Love the storage, center rod locker for 8ft rods and how large the front deck is. Painful not being on the water with it.

    Beautiful boat, congratulations. If that is the Mercury 115 2 stroke, I just got the same motor. The break in is simple, very well laid out in the manual.

    Congrats on the new boat! I'd be finding a way to get out on the water regardless of what the weather is like. Even if it's just to get it broke in that way you're ready to go in the spring!
