Guys...consider myself to be a 50/50 bass/musky guy and am considering a new, yet relatively inexpensive boat purchase...a Ranger 188 RT. For years was certain I'd go glass but have found a lot of my bass fishing holes to be old quarries with shallow rock areas...Would like to trust that a Ranger product won't steer me wrong. Am i paranoid to think glass shouldn't be an option? My musky haunts are mostly flooded timber, some sunken, which i wasn't too concerned about. But rock? That scares me...But I know northern Wisc/Minn guys have to see their far share of shallow rocky areas...thoughts??

Just go slow if you arn't sure of the structure until your learn it well.

That RT doesn't look like it will do much for bigger or rougher water. If that isn't what you fish than it looks good. Nice deck layout.

IMO, if you are going to fish any kind of big water get a glass rig and just be extra cautious when in and around rock. If not, Get the tin and save the $$$. The Mod V tins have a pretty good layout and make for comfortable fishing as long as you arent in rough water.
