That's a fact John! Having cruised with this boat numerous times, I can attest to it's qualities and reliability. Not a nicer 23 out there!

Thanks John and Roger. Really appreciate your comments gentlemen.

We wound up putting money down on a 27' Ranger Tug which we hope to actually 'own' sometime in early June. So hopefully we will be seeing everybody on the water whether it be on the new (new to us anyways - it's now 'new') Tug or the Venture.

Take care,
Dan, Tanya, and Hannah on C-Renity

Dan and Tanya, it (a Ranger 27) could not happen to nicer folks, hope you are happy for many, many years! Our friends Garry and Vicki (Amy Marie) and of course Russ and Toni (Traveler) both LOVE their Ranger 27s, and I's sure you will too!

With such a nice weather weekend this last weekend I figured you town would be in Portland. Sorry I missed you.

I agree, your 23 is as clean, neat and hardly broken in AND with all the neat features plus. Someone is going to get a great boat here.

Looking forward to seeing this 23 on the water this weekend.

Hmmm,
Sounds like Dreamer might be in sea trial mode?

Dreamer · Posted: Fri May 08, 2015 2:09 pm Post subject:

Nice thought Pat! We're 5th wheeling to Port Townsend and meeting the C-Renity crew there. No more Sea Trials for us I'm afraid.

This boat should be available for inspection at Friday Harbor.

Well our 2008 Venture 23' has been sold to Kim who came all the way down from Ketchikan, AL.

Good luck w/ the boat Kim and hopefully you enjoy it as much as we did.

Now, all we need to do is get our new (new to us anyway, it's a 2011) Ranger Tug 27' up to local waters.

Take care,
Dan, Tanya, and Hannah Denver
