Do You Want to Buy a Ranger Tug? We did. Cruising onboard a tiny live aboard boat - Episode 1 

A tour of the boat would have been a nice touch.

Michael & Julia, what a great video! Thank you for sharing your adventures aboard, we look forward to seeing more!

Beautiful scenery. Looking forward to catching up on the rest of your videos.

Great quality video, great boat!

great video, sweet cinematography!

I own a 26ft boat and love the weel house door.

Hey guys , nice video . came by its by chance & glad I did. The boat R25. Is neat rig for a small craft. So versatile. Y u nade good choice. Have fun .

Your videography is exceptional! Great job. I’m a follower for sure now.

The YT algorithm threw up something rather wonderful this time, and I am so very glad it did. I like the fact that here is a video actually showing something of the places that you visit and not just the movement part in between. I am an obsessive motorcyclist and see far too many people making trips, and videoing themselves on the move with very little of what the places are that they go. It is almost as if the purpose is to make a video and not actually travel. Anyway I also love boats, hence why the algorithm gave me this, I guess. Living now in a land locked country, Czech Republic, the majority of my boating connection is restricted to lakes and rivers apart from when I can get a rare trip back to my native Scotland. It was thus extra nice to see you on some wider open water. I am most envious of your lovely new boat, which I shall no doubt soon be Googling, knowing full well that being able to afford such athing shall never be any more than a pipe dream but I look forward to seeing what you shall be doing with yours. Sending you the best of wishes for the adventures ahead and thanks for such a great video. Kindesr regards from the Czech Republic.

Great video Mike and Julia. I stumbled upon this video and I was astonished that it was you guys! lol! keep up the good work and safe travels!

Awesome! I am new boater and I have a 02 Sea Ray 280, and I love it, but I love the look of the Ranger and the enclosure. I have been looking at used Rangers. Great video, stay safe out there.

it's all beautiful

I heard your comment about being from Michigan. I'm a retired Michigander, motored from Cheboygan to Georgian Bay in my '84 26' Searay a few times. I know that water can get rough. Looking forward to how the C-Dory handles. God bless you😊❤

love your content. i woild love to see a drone perspective of that small rocky island.

Love the commentary at the end. I have been looking at a Rosborough because it is trailerable.

Oh my! That was an excellent video. Enjoyed watching the seals and the little hike on the trail. Give us a tour of your boat. How does it handle in heavier seas?

Very nice video !

Very nice. Your adventures look like they're going to be a lot of fun. I can't wait to follow along. I'm not a huge fan of them, but you might think about posting a few "shorts" to bring some traffic to your new channel. Happy to be one of your first 19 subs 😁.

Nice life live it on

Nice video. This comment is purely to get you some traction. Good luck.

tsunami hit at the end??? hehehehe. please give us more of a walkthrough of the boat. thanks!

Was up at a buddies cabin near the Back Eddy Pub and Sechelt Narrows when , for the first time ever recorded, an orca pod came through the Narrows and into Porpoise Bay, a dead end. You thumbail is the Falls up the Inlet??

I was interested in seeing the Ranger but all I saw was a scenic travelogue of coastal British Columbia.

How do you find the helm station for longer journeys? I am really impressed with the thoughts that go into these designs. Which is your favourite unique feature and which would you change?

Have a hankering for the 29 with four of us just need money

Fun and informative video … thanks! What vehicle do you tow the boat with?

I was planning the sail boat route. Then I discovered the power boat idea and came across the Ranger Tug. This is the way to go and I'll be looking for a Ranger Tug for sure. Do you feel the 25 is big enough?

Love all of your videos. If the price had been equivalent, would you have gone for an r27? Is the layout exponentially superior in the r25?

Can you do a maintenance video? I'm new to boats and wondering what you have to do since it's in saltwater.

Hello - great video. what kind of miles per gallon are you getting?

How do you feel about the outboard?

This is filmed aboard a Ranger Tugs R29, though, is that correct?

I kept saying Cutwater!

Are we done😅

I love the older R25 with the Yanmar diesel. I'm not a fan of their move to a planing hull with outboards. This video is more about shore leave with a 10 foot zodiac than the Ranger. No problem. I was sold on the boat years ago and will likely buy the diesel chugger version in the next year or so. A tug does not plane/plain(?). A tug goes for days on a few gallons of diesel, the heater blowing into the cabin in November and coffee always available in the galley or good scotch in the cabinet after dark. Nights are spent without idle gossip with rich retirees anchored in tourist guide harbours but in isolated bays in Observatory Inlet with no one around except the occasional local crab boat. The R25 is the biggest "tiny" boat you will ever find. Towable with a late model half ton, sleeps 5 friendly people and storage for a week of cruising. As a tug design...at least the pre-outboard versions...it can handle 4 foot seas at 6 knots without spilling your coffee and keeps the bunk dry. Bow thrusters on a 25 is a welcome bonus. Solid Alaskan bulkhead leave no worries of a following sea. Nice boat. I just wish the prices hadn't gotten so stupid in the last 3 years.
