Hi Mark, boat looks amazing. Enjoy it to the max. Have fun with family and friends. Stay safe and healthy. Can’t wait for the season to start. I can see wins in your future. God Bless!

Man, that's a clean setup 👌 . Can't wait to see you on the water putting in that work

Ready for another banging season MDJ!!!! Great video can’t wait to see this boy in full action!!!!

Congratulations on your new rig. I hope you enjoy it & good luck this season.

Beautiful rig !! Time to get some crappie slime on it !

awesome rig man! thanks for showing it!

Great looking rig brother, look forward to see you fish out of it, and good luck with upcoming season!

Really nice setup. I love my Tracker Classic XL, and I know you're going to love yours. Good luck this year.

Great video. I bought a RT188 in 2017. Camo and no carpet. I love mine I have put same equipment on mine except the power poles. I’ve thought about buying a new one but can’t let this one go because I’ve had 0 issues with the boat. Good idea getting with the tandem axle trailer. I wish mine was. You’re going to really like your boat. Good luck

Great video Mark. Congrats.

Awesome video MDJ. Best of luck this Tournament season

Loving the new boat, good luck this year!

Great looking boat 🚢 thanks for sharing 🎣 👍

Great Boat Daniels! I too have an aluminum boat, so many advantages!! I Really like the trailer ladder! Looking forward to seeing you do well this year sir!

You're gonna love that boat! I have the same boat in red and absolutely love it!! Bought mine last April.

I have a 2018 RT188P with a Yamaha SHO 115. My boat is almost setup exactly like yours. Just a few different things, I have a 24V Minn Kota 80lb trolling motor, dual Garmin's on the dash. and my batteries are Optima's. I have dual console with a coin box storage. I have owed numerous fiberglass bass boats in my lifetime. I decided to purchase a RT188P because I was no longer fishing tournaments and I did not what spend a lot of money again for a new boat. My RT188P has proven itself over the years. I've ran this boat in 2 foot plus waves and handled it without any problems. This was my first tin boat and if I had to do it again, I would definitely purchase another RT188P or the RT198P. The most important thing, you can run and gun on the lake for two days without refueling. Enjoy your new boat, you will have fun with it.

That baby clean rite there, MDJ!

I bought the RT188P 2023 and got it in November. I love the boat. It rides great. Has great fishing deck and storage as you mentioned. My 1 complaint is that the front seat is too close to the trolling motor pedal, so I bought an offset seat pole which gave me more space to operate the trolling motor comfortability.

Awesome boat Marc. Looking forward to seeing some you - tube videos of you fishing out of it. Looking forward to watching your 2023 tournament season.

I got mine last May. Took all summer to get the power system figured out. I should have got the blades. Four 12 inch helix. Mega live and target lock. Love it

Bad ass boat. Congrats.

Beautiful rig! Can wait to watch you win AOY this year.

I have the same boat, without as many toys. Great job my man!

Sick Rig MDJ. Love it dude. I love my Aluminum Tracker

Very nice boat, like the setup you have.

Sweet rig. Can’t wait to see you at Okeechobee

That's a sharp boat...great set up...When we going for a ride

Living the dream man

That’s one awesome boat.

Yessirrrr that thang clean bro 🔥🔥🔥

New house new shoes new boats. I’m inspired!!!!

Creek series in style 👊

That's a dope boat. Hopefully get to run into you on Middle Pond, Tuskegee Lake or on the creek soon. May have to convince you to come down on the Tallapoosa river when the Hybrids and Stripers start running to do a little bank fishing. The action can be lights out

Nice ranger boat wow have a great tournament season also im always rooting for you let's go a get that win 🏆

Awesome video. I have the same boat, with long term plans to do most of what you have done to yours. I have no need for livescope, but the rest is what I want to do.

Looks good bruh🤴🏾🔥💯

Good luck this year

Awesome Rig breakdown! I have the 198P and I love it. I do wish I could go faster but that’s not a big deal. Can’t wait to see an update in a few months.

Leave it to Ranger to make an aluminum boat just like a glass .... Nice boat Mark good luck this year 👍

Sweet!

I love my 198p, I have also owned the 188. My only issue is both boats are under powered. This is because Ranger wants you to step up to the more expensive glass boats.

I hope to see you up at Martin in your new boat. I have a 4 year old 198P model.

One thing to beware of with those rangers mark, the latches on the consoles are horrible, can be easily broken into, saw it first hand on a friends rig. Doubt you’ll ever have it anywhere you’d have to worry about it but just wanted to give you a heads up. Stoked for the new year an can’t wait for the season to start, I’ll be rootin for you big dog!!

Gator Trax for the win!

Aluminum is the way to go..essentially if it’s for pleasure fishing. You can take it anywhere and not worry about cracking your hull. Personally think it’s a no brained yo but aluminum. It’s one thing if you’re on huge open waters all the time, but for mist people that’s not the case

Nice rig is it for sale at years end. And btw nice crib huge garage

Hey Mark, question which 12 inch Garmin do you use for live scope?

Definitely a slick rig! I have a question on your house battery. You said it's an AGM? Is there a reason not to go lithium on the house battery? I was thinking of swapping out to lithium the next time I replace mine.

Lithium is good too. They only make an AGM at the moment for cranking, plenty of power tho

Not 100% sure but you can alway upgrade trailers.

Have you tried fitting rods in the left locker? I own the same exact boat and wanted to run tackle in the center locker and rods in the left. However, it seems I can only fit rods less than 7' in the left locker so I'm currently running the rods in the center. Curious to know if yours is the same. Thanks and love your channel!

Love the rig but that garage is freaking amazing MDJ..quick question..I noticed you went with X2 100ah on the lithium trolling batteries. Can you tell me why those vs Dakota or Ionic 50ah LB? Also no LB for the cranking or electronics. I’m curious because I’m considering buying LB right now for my entire boat.

Once you have them you'll never not want to have them again. I use them all the time, if for nothing else then to aid in launching and take out. If you fish shallow then you'll always find time to use them.
