Great review Martin. For the stock boat, the Kisae DMT1250 is a good choice but it has a max of 35 V PV input which could limit a solar upgrade for panels in series. That and the 1 of 2 charging sources makes a separate solar charge controller the way to go. The Victron battery monitor is an excellent addition. 👍🏼😎

@Letsgochannelsurfing 3 месяца назад

I wouldn't connect any panels in series on the DMT1250. You can hook up 2 panels in parallel, and the DMT1250 supports up to around 700 watts. Adding a dedicated solar controller, at least the Victron 150/35 and going to 400 watts of solar can be a real game changer.

could you do a video on 'factory delivery experience'?

@Letsgochannelsurfing 3 месяца назад

We have this one, it's a short. ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-MoDghGZyBgc.html

Fantastic review! That said, I’m not in the market for a quarter-million dollar 27 footer 🥶

@Letsgochannelsurfing 3 месяца назад

Fair enough!

@anthonyalberts505 3 месяца назад

Love your videos, am a current boat owner but not a Ranger owner YET. Once retired is a few years and relocate back to the PNW will seriously start looking. Would love to look you up and have coffee with you Cheers Tony

@Letsgochannelsurfing 3 месяца назад

Thanks for watching! Shoot us an email if you're in the area. We're always up for coffee or happy hour.

I love your dead pan delivery. Lol so funny

@Letsgochannelsurfing 2 месяца назад

Lol. Thanks for watching!

You can get a center counsel with twin 300 Yamahas for that price and 28ft

@Letsgochannelsurfing 3 месяца назад

I wouldn't take a center console with twin engines to Glacier Bay, Alaska though.. Thanks for watching!

@michaelgarrity6090 17 дней назад

You can't comfortably cruise on a center console. Obviously you have never cruised on a boat for more than a few days. Ranger Tugs and especially the R-27 is a very popular boat for those that do the Great Loop trip.

@williampettis8985 3 месяца назад

Martin, great video. I’m looking at this boat right now. Could you use a portable generator to shore power to recharge the Li batteries? If yes, how long roughly would that take. We will be in Florida where the Ac is needed all night. And the no-serums can be rough. Thank you

@Letsgochannelsurfing 3 месяца назад

You can absolutely use a portable generator to recharge the house bank. The boat comes with a 60amp battery charger which is what would be powered by a portable generator. With 560amp-hours total, lets say you were at 20% SOC (450 amp-hours consumed), it'd take about 8 hours to fully recharge (assuming no solar to help out). If you run a portable generator be cautious of the CO poisoning (fumes), as CO is heavier than air. I recommend running the portable generator out on the transom and not in the cockpit.

I like the dinghy motor storage bracket , How long have they been doing that ? Great Video .👍

@Letsgochannelsurfing 2 месяца назад

They started in the middle of 2020 when they went with the dinghy lift.

@johnathandye5244 3 месяца назад

No way would I pay 270k for a boat with a single motor. That’s crazy

@RAo-hx8jc 2 месяца назад

Yamaha 300 is a good motor idk why they wouldn’t use twin 150s I’m sure there is an option. my complaint is there isn’t a kicker that is tied to steering for extended range that’s a cheap addon . Along with extended hard deck to add solar. . At the price point it’s to high

@borysg8360 Месяц назад

Just FYI Mabru 12VDC air conditioner consumes 20-30 Amp. I clearly do not understand why boat builders still installing thirsty 110V HVAC

@Letsgochannelsurfing 28 дней назад

I have no idea either. I'm a cold weather boater. I will, however, look into the Mabru 12volt DC air conditioner as I talk to a lot of boaters back east in the hot climate.

@arvkamiak 3 месяца назад

Would you be able to add a second solar controller to an LE that has AGM batteries?

@Letsgochannelsurfing 3 месяца назад

Yes you could. Odds are though, if you have an LE with AGM batteries, it most likely has the electrical system off a NW edition. The LE with LFP has a different electrical system. An LE with AGM batteries (from the factory) most likely has a PWM Morning Duo controller that could be upgraded to an MPPT controller. (You'd replace the solar controller you already have). The DMT1250 is only needed with LFP on the boat.

@stephenskierski5633 3 месяца назад

I see some of your pictures shows boats with kicker outboards, are they using them for just cruising?

@Letsgochannelsurfing 3 месяца назад

The T9.9 kicker is an hour eater. Can be used for slow boating, as it pushes the boat about 5 knots. Most of the time it's used for trolling for fishing or as backup engine should engine trouble occur.

"Feuture rich" definitely needs to be cleaned up big time for the price #too_busy should go all in with lithium ion stem to stern excepting the power unit(s) with vastly simplified wiring and single display solutions #tesla

@rickdoll7220 3 месяца назад

Regarding the brass ring around the porthole. Do you know how much the stainless steel one cost? Where to get it and the part number? How difficult it is to remove the brass one? If you change yours I would really want to see a video on that. Keep the videos coming. They are great!

@Letsgochannelsurfing 3 месяца назад

The porthole comes off with 6 screws. It's just decoration, as it's not a real working port hole. The stainless steel ones holes are slightly different from the brass rings. I don't have part numbers (yet), but it's on my list. :) If you watch this video, start at timestamp 1:59 and you'll see me take the port hole apart. ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-7F1ms1FXdd8.html

Has anyone installed a Gas portable generator in their O/B Ranger? Todays genie's are so portable and quit. Seems like a viable option

@Letsgochannelsurfing 3 месяца назад

Many folks use portable generators on their boat. Just be careful with CO poisoning and run the generator on the transom, not in the cockpit.

@bobnewman1810 25 дней назад

What would it take to install A/C on a Northwest Edition? Is there a suitable spot to fit it in without having to remove the diesel heater?

@Letsgochannelsurfing 18 дней назад

In this video I go over the differences between an LE and a NW edition. The diesel heater or the air conditioner fit under the helm seat. Not both. You also need a spot to put the 3000 watt inverter (NW edition comes with a 2000 watt). The 3000 watt inverter would normally go under the stove, o the bulkhead. However in a NW edition this space is filled with the 5 gallon diesel tank. ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-vcdYPw0JPrc.html

First, thank you. Classic Ranger Tug porthole needs classic brass. Shiny and new is not always better. A newer battery I think you will find of interesting. 1.

@americanangler94559 16 дней назад

The placement of the battery monitor, or for that matter any electronics right behind the sink is stupid as F!

@facubeitches1144 2 месяца назад

Having done your big Alaska trip, how would you rate the R27 for something long term like the Loop or cruising the Bahamas? I think I'd prefer a 29, but to afford it, I'd definitely have to go used, whereas a new 27 might be possible. As I will be returning to the Southeast when I retire, the power issues for the 27 are probably my biggest concern with that model.

@Letsgochannelsurfing 2 месяца назад

The R29 and R27 have the same electrical plant, basically. The R29 just comes with (4) AGM batteries while the R27-OB comes with 2. (hence, the power issues). Going with a R27-OB LE edition (which would be preferred for the loop, as the LE has air conditioning), it would come with about 600 amp-hours of LFP. The R27-OB is a fantastic boat for the great loop. I know of several who've done the loop in an R27-OB.
