Excellent video Josh! I ordered a new R-31 Command Bridge in 2021. I live in the northeast therefore my tug was delivered to my area dealer Winter Island Yacht Yard in Salem MA. After several seasons I must say that this is a fabulous vessel. The features that are Standard on this boat are incredible; bow & stern thrusters, two TVs, two Garmin electronic suites, solar panel, microwave, wine cooler, fusion stereo, Volvo-Penta diesel, etc. Additionally, I opted for the Luxury Edition with air conditioning, and generator, and dingy on Weaver Quick Release davits and a 3rd steering station in the cockpit. Bimini top, and cockpit full enclosure were installed by the dealer. My boat is as comfortable at cruising speed of 15 knots as it is when sipping fuel at 8 knots. Kudos to Ranger Tugs for building such a fine 'pocket yacht'!
I have to ask why do you show the R29CB in the R29S and vice versa? In case no one told you they are different boats. Don't feel to bad because Ranger Tugs does the same irritating thing.
Had heard a rumor a while back of a 35, though 33 or 36 are better numbers (laughing!)-- a larger outboard powered and still trailerable model between the 31 and 43... any merit to this? any hope it is still alive??
Im staying with n getting a r27 fuel mileage with cox 300 diesel n shallow draft. N no freacking over wide issue st 8.5 wide. A 29 at 8.5. Be nice if longer cabin for washer n dryer. Wofe n i going do honeny moo loop out of dt marks fl. Up Atlantic than great lks to connect ing tover to Mississippi back to Gulf fishy all thr way. Too bad can get a damg blanket fishing lic for seniors all states it a rip off thode lic fees when traveling
I find it surprising that small boats can be so expensive, as I don't think they are worth the price. In fact, I recently purchased 1000 acres (which is one square mile of land) in Montana for less than 20% of the cost of that first boat.
I ordered and purchased a new R-31 CB in 2021. After exhaustive research and many boat shows, I felt that it was indeed worth the price tag. The boat came standard with features that other manufacturers of boats in this size and genre either did not even offer, or were high cost options. Bow and stern thrusters with remote, 175 Watt solar panel with controller & inverter, (2) Garmin comprehensive electronic nav packages that are factory installed, Fusion stereo system, (2) TVs, wine cooler, (2) Tecma electric marine toilets, electric trim tabs, cockpit sink, wash-down system, microwave, two refrigerators, stove & oven, underwater lights, complete sail-away safety package, loads of canvas, plus more are all STANDARD,,! I did option out Air conditioning, generator, dingy with Weaver quick release davits, etc. After three seasons of use here in the Northeast, I am very happy with my purchase!
@@happychildhood591where in the northeast are you? I’m in the Boston area and have been trying to decide on tug or trawler. Wondering where you have gone in the tug and what kind of comfort it has underway and at anchor.
I guess it depends what you are comparing it to and what’s important to you to have on the boat. I think the wine cooler is wasted space and would definitely put something more useful in there.
@@Steve-qn8gn Hi Steve! My home port is Stamford CT. I have cruised all over Long Island Sound, and have gone as far east as Salem MA. I bring the tug back up to the dealer in Salem MA every October for indoor winter storage and servicing. The boat is comfortable underway, although because of its 10' beam it tends to be a little tender at anchor. Like the vast majority of boats out there, she is a coastal cruiser and not designed for extended blue-water passages. I have been caught out in some real snotty weather including 5-6' seas with strong winds and although somewhat uncomfortable, the boat did fine and I was never fearful of my safety. One must keep in mind that it is a 31' boat with a 10' beam and will handle as such. After the passing of my beloved wife, I sold my lovely 43' Albin trawler as I needed to downsize to something more manageable with me being alone. I wanted all the amenities and more that my Albin had but in a smaller boat. The Ranger R-31 CB checked off all the boxes for me. I did not buy another trawler as I wanted a vessel that was capable of higher speeds in case I ever needed it. My Albin was a 8 knot boat. My Ranger will cruise comfortably all day at 16 knots and top out at about 19 knots. I generally cruise her at 8-12 knots but it is nice to know that I have some extra power in reserve in case I need it. Yes, you are correct regarding the wine cooler. Some people have removed it to add some more storage space. I am never out for weeks on end, my cruising never lasting more than a week, hence I personally do not have a need for more storage. Since you are close to Salem, I suggest stopping in at Winter Island Yacht Yard as they are Ranger Tug dealers and will be happy to give you a demo ride and answer your questions. They have an impeccable reputation, are family owned, and are fair and honest, a rare commodity in the boating world. After three seasons, I am very happy with my Ranger Tug. Do not hesitate to contact me if you have any other questions. Richie M.
Since I get alot of thumbs up with this opinion, I'll put my 2 cents in. I don't see any real difference betreen the 29 and the 31. Except the higher price of the 31. For me, the boats smaller than the 29, are too small to live on more than a few days. The 43 is too big to trailer and like the 31 has too many fiddly, folding contraptions on board. I WISH Ranger would make a 32' water line length boat w/ same beam as 31 BUT with a larger enclosed cabin. As you walk in from the 29 sized aft deck there could be a full sized fridge/freezer to starboard. To port, maybe a small day/guest head or a foul weather locker. The 1/2 size fridge area could be for dry goods stores. Swells on the great lakes, pacific NW, coast of Maine or St. Lawrence need 32' to have a more pleasant ride. The bigger INSIDE living area is better in the cooler climes, yet I think with the use a light materials, she'd still be trailerable (13 or 14k lbs?)
there is a second cabin - entry is opposite from the dining table towards the back - go to Ranger's Website. Would be nice if the aft head was somewhat accessible for a third couple - if you do have a third couple on board they will have to access one of the cabins to use one of the two heads...
Good quality video, but needs a different focus. Not really wanting to be negative, just trying to give some creative feedback. Some amazing drone footage, and camera work. 85% or more of this video was exterior shots, and speed shots. I know the exterior very well. I know almost next to nothing about the layout. Yes. They look great, and they seem to drive well. That should be 10%-15% of this video. There isn’t a walk through clip that’s more than a few seconds long. The laundry on the 41 is cool, but that was only a couple of seconds out of 1/2 an hour. I’ve been looking for more videos since NautiStyles did a walk through, on the 41 I believe. Get them to do your whole lineup, and that would go a long way to getting your name out there. On maybe Nick from AQUAHAULIC. Let’s actually see the interior with a detailed commentary, instead of flashes of only a few seconds at a time. The quality of the video was fine, but I just turned the audio off and sped at double time just to see if there were interior shots. You got some great stock footage here. Now tie it into a thorough walk through showing each and every detail. An in depth video about 10 minutes long would be perfect in length, with about 1-1/2 to 2 minutes dedicated to your existing stock footage, then the rest as ten m to stern slow paced detailed coverage of the interior, storages spaces, and amenities.
I love this mini trawler. It has just enough and not too much. I live on Lake Champlain and I’m about to retire. This is the perfect pocket trawler for intercostal cruising and Great Loop exploring for the money hands down.
Cool boat! We definitely need a full features video/demo on this one. I still think a similarly equipped Ranger 25 is a better value. Trade off is solar panel system (R25) vs auto trim tabs S250). Both are nice features, so either way you’re looking at upgrades right from the start.
