Congrats!  Those are really pretty boats.  I have been eyeing the RT188, but haven't had a chance to look one over in person since the nearest dealer is a little ways from me.

I had a chance to look at these the other day, and from what I saw with the RT178 and RT188, these are some of the finest aluminum boats I have seen.

@Curt I got a chance to get it out last Saturday for a few hours. Working the Mercury 75 for the "break in" period. They don't want it over 4500 rpm for the first 2 hours. Showed 36mph on the GPS at 4200 with the boat fully loaded with just me.
Handles really well as far as I can tell. Being my first bass boat I have nothing to compare it to. Gets up on plane quick. Seems to take choppy water well. Ran over my own wake at different angles to get a feel for it. Easy to load and unload my self with the drive on trailer. Water temps were only 46 so wasn't really fishing. Getting used to the trolling motor and electronics. The 360 imaging is amazing. Will do a video at some point in the future.
