B&PB (Diane),
Pcator is thinking ‘troll’, if I’m not mistaken. Here’s what I posted on another thread just a few hours ago.
| Quote: | Legitimate questions for sure, but as others have pointed out, questions that have been discussed at length. When a new member’s (as of September 22nd) first post is something that could be perceived as being a negative comment about the C-Dory line, it will cause some to raise an eyebrow. C-Brats tend to be a straight shooting honest bunch, but not everybody out there in Internet land is. A better approach might be to lurk for a while, use the search feature, and get up to speed on current issues being discussed before posting. IMHO
That being said, welcome to C-Brats, I think you'll like it here.

Kindly explain your comment..the application said City/Region. I chose region.
I am not certain how a legitimate post about a boat we were considering would be "questionable".
I thank the OP's for taking the time to answer.

Boy I hate to get into this but can't help it.... 
Don't understand what was "controversial and contrary" about D&B's first post or what was wrong with his region as Upstate and his state as NY?
pcator, please enlighten another former USN member....
We need to help these new folks, not jump on them...

Thanks for your support...I feel like someone running for political office not someone looking for assistance in a boat owners group.
We have been on the Ranger tug twice and do like the boat. We have yet to do a sea trial which I'm sure will be on a calm, beautiful fall day. Hence, the reason for my question. Been on the 'net for 10+ years and this is the first time I have been called a troll. Maybe it's best to lurk here.
Charlie, enjoy your boat as we decide what our choice should be

I feel bad that you got the reactions you did here. I have been a member here from the beginning and ,altho I have mostly become a lurker here myself because I have a hard time holding my tongue ,I hope you will feel free to post any questions you need answers to anytime you want. Don't let a few ruin your visits here.
If you are in a position to come to the Seattle Boat Show in January we have a great time visiting and partying with a lot of like minded people. we almost take over the motel and everyone has a great time.(we also go to the Boat Show)...lol...

Diane P,
I, too, welcome you to the site, and second what Sensei said.
You should be able to ask any questions you want, and get some real answers from Ranger owners.
Unfortunately, some of our members may have lost sight of our motto, "Just Be Nice".

DB&P:
I have now looked at the Crosby extensively, it seems well built and stout to me. If anything, less top heavy than a Nordic, though accomodations are smaller (and not as well laid out IMO) although I do like the access out either side of the pilothouse. Much better than the Nordic (non existant on the Ranger (a negative to me), an appears to be a safer exit as well. I would not be afraid of that boat in a reasonable blow, (nor the others).

|
|
I to have been lurking around for a few weeks. As a sailor I have the same questions about the tugs as DP&B. Stability is important. I have been caught in some nasty weather in a sailboat ( not by choice ), so I think asking a question about stability is a legit concern when your buying a new boat.
I spoke to Ranger Jeff today at the factory about that very concern on the 21 ft Tug. He was very helpful.
What is the experience that some of you owners have had with the 21?
Thanks in advance.
Ken
