The tale of the tape tells it all: the Weldcraft 188 Rebel is a diehard sport utility fishing boat. No more chasing down fishing reports from questionable sources; you and your friends will be providing them. The Rebel’s generous 20′ 8” length is ideal for nearly every fishing application. With 34” sides, 72” bottom width, reverse chine bottom, 14° transom deadrise and 30° bow deadrise, your ride stays smooth, stable and dry. The Outboard bracket and full-width transom make this hardcore fishing boat seaworthy, spacious and secure. And thanks to a 42-gallon fuel capacity and the economical ride, you aren’t limited to short trips — so now, longer excursions are fathomable. The Rebel’s features list adds to the allure, with a full top and storage bench seats as standard equipment. Wherever your fishing takes you, do it with a boat that’s remarkably affordable and completely capable.
The 188 Rebel features Weldcraft’s innovative bottom extension and motor bracket. Unlike competitors’ “pod” attachments, Weldcraft extends the bottom hull sheet past the transom to create the industry’s strongest motor support. This design delivers the most efficient flow of water to the prop and reduces the chance of cavitation in tight turns.
Take full advantage of your weekends and summer vacations. If you’ve never tried boat-in camping, your family is in for a treat. There are countless lakes and rivers where fun in the sun and complete solitude are easy to find. Your state’s Parks and Recreation Department is a great place to start making life more fun.
