Big water, Big time fun

The VX1988 is biggest, baddest Deep V ever to wear Ranger® badging, and it’s filled to the brim with our legendary heritage of quality, fishability, and all-around performance. With big gunnels and an perfectly sculpted hull, the VX1988 is the ultimate big water performer that delivers smooth dependability and stout performance in all conditions. Inside is a master’s course in angler-friendly amenities and design. Four handmade moveable seats let you tailor the interior to your crew while a wide-open design gives you room for whatever the day holds. Huge, lockable storages keep gear safe and dry, while premium trolling motor and kicker motor options give you the latest in capability. Inside the all-welded, wood-free hull lies the foundation upon which the VX1988 draws its strength; a perfect blend of welded superstructure, our patented pultruded fiberglass, and foam flotation that give the VX1988 our legendary One-Piece Feel construction and peace of mind in all conditions. Day in and day out, the VX1988 delivers Big fun on Big Water.
