Over priced garbage

plastic boats are for plastic people with plastic brains.

It makes me wonder: if you're employed on this boat, does that make it a tug job?

Ricardo Moss Moss - 5 years ago

big game changer amazing work wow

Jodie York - 5 years ago

Sick.

mucks - 6 years ago

why do you NEVER show us the engines ??

Anon Bloke - 5 years ago

Because he uses other peoples videos

Chuck Taylor - 6 years ago

Nice small boat, just too much money. Too many well cared for used boats out their competing with half the price.

MelCanuck - 5 years ago

+Chuck Taylor... yes $376,918 before options is a bit expensive for a 29 foot boat....

How about a "Beneteau Swift Trawler 30"? - Europe price 186,000 EURs @1.13 = US$210,180 (though the US may get charged a bit more).

Simplefng "Ranger is know for over charging."

Known for overcharging by whom; their competitors?

Brutus Gregori - 6 years ago

Ranger is know for over charging. But we got a lot of rich folks willing to cough up the cash.

Though they do make pretty boats.

C. Curmudgeon - 6 years ago

Nice boat, the music makes me wonder when the soft core porn is going to start.

David Mattie - 4 years ago

If you roll up to the dock in this baby you just might get laid if you just keep your pie hole shut

Why didn't you show the aft cabin?

SeikiBrian - 6 years ago

You mean the crawlspace under the dinette? ;-)

Tugs are cute but at anchor/dock they roll, roll, roll, roll and ROLL. It is annoying as hell. Something to think about first.

Erich Collar - 6 years ago

I saw one last month passing through the Trent Severn (at Lovesick). Awesome compact boat.
A few specs and a price at the end of the video would have been helpful. Well done.

SeikiBrian - 4 years ago

@MelCanuck That $378,918.10 is Canadian dollars. The MSRP in US dollars is $309,937.00 as of December 27, 2019.

MelCanuck - 5 years ago

1:31 ... basic price (before options) $376,918=10

[edit] How about a "Beneteau Swift trawler 30"? 186,000 EURs @1.13 = US$210,180 (though the US may get charged a bit more)

Very nice. It looks roomier than the last 29'

Rottingboards - 6 years ago

What are the benefits of a Tug? Stability in rough seas, sallow draft, unsinkable, or just the great looks?

Anon Bloke - 5 years ago

Not open ocean, especially beam seas. Good inland lakes cruising, through locks and such.

SV Zaya - 5 years ago

Fuel efficiency, possibility to live aboard on a small footprint which takes a smaller dock and therefore is more affordable.
The accommodations are usually befitting a boat where a few ppl can live aboard for some time
As ppl are saying they can go faster but at the expense of fuel burn. If you keep the boat at hull speed it should only need to be trickle fed fuel. Going much faster means pushing a lot of water which takes a lot of horsepower and consequently fuel.
So whats the hull speed? Generally its the square root of the waterline length x 1.34
Probably fractionally less than 7 knots

SeikiBrian - 6 years ago

@Jan Kjaer They haven't used Yanmar engines in quite a while; they use Volvo now. (Or a choice of Yamaha or Suzuki outboards on the R-27 and R-23.) This model, The R-29 CB, comes with the 300 HP Volvo D4.

Jan Kjaer - 6 years ago

1 piece 6 cyl yanmar
260 HP, giving 8 knot eco and 15 knot boost.

SeikiBrian - 6 years ago

Kirk Williams "Ummmm.. they can cruise much faster..."

Cruise much faster than what? You don't say what you're comparing them with.

Kirk Williams - 6 years ago

Ummmm.. they can cruise much faster and top out at 20 plus...

SeikiBrian - 6 years ago

No, Mike, they are not designed for open ocean voyaging. They have semi-displacement hulls, they don't have stabilizers, the windows are not strong enough to take boarding seas, etc. Call Andrew Custis at the factory and ask him if he would take one on a trans-Atlantic cruise or a trip from Seattle to Hawaii, and see what he says.

Mike L - 6 years ago

Ranger Tugs can be used in open ocean. The biggest advantage to a tug though is the fuel savings. Tug boats are designed to have power, not speed. While these aren't working tugs so they don't have real tug boat engines, they are extremely fuel efficient. But the trade off is you aren't going to be going very fast. These boats cruise around 7 knots for maximum efficiency. The look and hull style is what makes them a "tug" boat.

SeikiBrian - 6 years ago

In the case of the Ranger Tugs, I wouldn't take one into open ocean, but for near-coastal and inland cruising, yeah, they're pretty stable. "The look" is definitely appealing to me. The new ones don't look as much like old tugs as the previous versions, but they still have enough of the "workboat" look to their lines to evoke a salty feel. Mostly, though, it's because they're small enough to be easily handled and economical, but still have plenty of storage and accommodations space. My brother has a 2012 R29 -- which is one of the "old style" 29s -- and it's one of the few sub-40 footers in which I can stand at the galley. (I'm 6'5".) It's perfect as a weekender, and I could easily see myself spending a week or more aboard without too much trouble. A Nordic Tugs 40 would be even better in most respects, but it's also a lot more expensive. In addition to lower price, the Ranger Tugs are also small enough to be towed behind a large pickup, increasing the range of operations considerably. (The 29 and 31, though, do require an oversize load permit for towing, because they have 10-foot beams.)

And now for a shameless plug: If you'd like to "try before you buy" and have a great vacation while doing so, my brother's boat -- Serendipity -- is available for self charter. He has it listed with Anacortes Yacht Charters in Anacortes, Washington...The Gateway To The San Juan Islands.

I like the overhead windows in the wheelhouse... Just like a z-drive tug... After you get done fishing, you can pull escort duty for a few tankers

soft porn music while you're showing a boat? What the fuck?

@FSEVENMAN He didn't say you did. He was commenting on your "douchebag with the 12 foot aluminum and a 9.9 motor on the back" comment.

Personally I don't like the command bridge version of the Ranger Tugs R-29 or the R-31; to me it looks like someone set up a jungle gym on the cabin top. But to each his own. I'd love to have either a Ranger Tugs R-29S or an R-27, and take a year off to do the Great Loop solo. Naturally I'd name my solo boat The Lone Ranger, and my dinghy would be Tonto.

Lone Ranger and Tonto aye... hahaha
