Todd and Kim did a great job restoring my 1995 Chaparral boat. When I seen my boat completed I couldn't believe that was the boat I brought to him, it was so pretty. Before I left, Todd made sure I had everything I needed to put my boat in the water, he had life jackets that he sold me at great price, saving me hundreds of dollars. Todd and Kim are great! more
Great experience. I bought a boat from Todd and he made sure I understood every thing on the boat. Even showed be some tips on operating it. As hot as it was he never rushed through showing the boat. here

The R-31 CB shares many of the features and qualities of her smaller sisterships but some notable additions to this larger model make her ideal for extended cruising while still being a trailerable trawler. The R-31 CB is the first Ranger Tug to feature a flybridge equipped with electronic controls at both the upper and lower helm. The flybridge also retracts to allow for trailering the 31’. The builders at Ranger Tugs also equipped the foredeck with seating and a table that can be raised or lowered depending on whether the boat is under way or at anchor or dock for entertaining. In addition to the extra seating now available on the flybridge and foredeck the R-31 CB allows for a larger cockpit area with wraparound seating and extra seating that folds out of the gunwale. When not entertaining, seats are folded leaving the cockpit unencumbered. The interior layout of the R-31 CB features two staterooms—one large island berth forward with en suite head and a midship berth and day head. Those who are familiar with Ranger Tugs models will recognize the galley layout and lower helm station that maximize interior space. A starboard side door provides easy access from the lower helm to the side decks so crew can get to the bow for line handling. Like all Ranger Tugs, the R-31 CB comes essentially turnkey with standard features and equipment intended to make her owner’s experience hassle-free and allow for ease of handling and comfort under way. Standard equipment includes bow and stern thrusters, an optional aft steering station and a Volvo D4 300hp engine that achieves a 16 knot cruise speed. here

Joystick docking from the helm, aft joystick station, or command bridge keeps docking fun and stress-free. You’ll know exactly where you’re at and where you’re going with the state-of-the-art Garmin navigation suite featuring a 22” chartplotter with sonar, AIS receiving & transmitting, GMR Fantom 24 radar, and autopilot. You can add even more control with optional gyroscope stabilization, FLIR thermal imaging, and Dynamic Positioning. The spacious, light-filled salon is the heart of the R-43 CB. With a conversational layout and seating for 12, you’ll make a lifetime’s worth of memories with friends and family in this warm, inviting space. When it’s time to retire for the evening or just retreat from the action of the day, you’ll find solace in the large, private master stateroom with spacious, heated head. The R-43 CB’s master stateroom is roomy and functional. You can keep up to date with work or family communications at the desk or just relax with a book on the leather lounge seat.

With amenities like a full-size washer and dryer, a spacious galley equipped with a 3-burner stove and oven with broiler, double basin sink, microwave, three refrigerators, butcher block and abundant drawers, cabinets, and pantry storage, you can live and entertain just like you would at home. You’ll love the large cockpit, with transom seats that rotate open presenting a pass-through to the oversized swim step. The hard top with integrated LED lighting allows for entertaining or relaxing in all weather conditions by keeping you protected from sun and rain. A large opening glass bulkhead keeps the cockpit and galley spaces connected and intimate. You’ll never have to worry about keeping drinks cold and fresh thanks to the built-in stainless-steel ice maker. The R-43 CB features a 205 square foot command bridge which is accessed via staircase with handrail. The expansive command bridge allows you to host and play outside while never feeling crowded. Nothing beats the beauty and comfort of cruising from the command bridge on the R-43 CB. With wraparound bench seating for eight, stereo system, refrigerator, electric grill and sink, you can prep, serve, and enjoy happy hour without ever having to go downstairs.

The popular Ranger Tugs R-23 is powered by a 200 HP Yamaha outboard. The first thing you will notice when looking at the new R-23 is the dramatic, curved windshield and visor, which is emphasized by several overhead skylights. There is no shortage of light or visibility onboard the R-23, which incorporates four opening roof hatches, sliding side windows, and an opening glass bulkhead, providing a very open and airy feeling inside and out. Opening portlights also allow for a nice cross breeze in the cabin. The forward cabin on the R-23 has plenty of room for sitting around the teak table, separate sleeping for two or sleeping two together with the filler-cushion. The mid berth is great for kids or storage, and the dinette converts to a sleeper as the third berth. The well-appointed galley on the R-23 is standard with refrigerator/freezer, cooktop, and microwave. The forward head includes a marine toilet with holding tank, shower, sink, and mirror. The Ranger Tugs R-23 is standard with Garmin 942xsv GPS chartplotter with sonar and is available with optional xHD radar. VHF to stay in touch, illuminated compass, cabin night light, cockpit and exterior side trail lighting, and our patented built-in safety trailering lights (brake, turn, and reverse) are all standard equipment making the R-23 ready to cruise. The cockpit on the R-23 is built to fish and ready to entertain with standard rod holders, optional downrigger pads & outlets, and a folding double seat. The R-23 is perfect for overnighting or extended cruises. It incorporates many of the same amenities as a larger cruising yacht that until now were not offered on a boat of her size and price point. Whether you are new to boating or a seasoned captain, the R-23 is the perfect boat for your next adventure.
Cruising without compromise is the name of the game for the R-27 from Ranger Tugs. Straight from the factory, your R-27 will be outfitted to cruise, fish, and play in comfort and style. Powered by the efficient and popular Yamaha F300 outboard motor, the R-27 doesn’t waste time delivering you and your family to your next adventure. Enjoy peace of mind knowing that the included Garmin 8612xsv Chartplotter will guide you safely on your passage and that when you arrive, the bow thruster will make docking a non-event. The curved front windshield and overhead glass atrium provide beautiful 360 degree views and generous light throughout the salon. Open the aft glass bulkhead in tandem with any of the hatches, windows, or port lights to deliver a fresh breeze throughout the cabin. Chefs will be delighted to cook in the full galley or to simply grill on the removable electric Kenyon grill.
