Nice flair on final. If it was real it would be even better. I think if this had actually happened, that poor pilot would've been runway pizza.

Hi Idelup I've been looking at this for a while for the R21 we just purchased. I've talked to a few people and really looked at all the options available from Raymarine. The s1000 is a GPS based system. It will require a GPS plotter to function which is not a problem for your boat. What the...

Hi Idleup We wont travelling with the boat this year. We are going to be doing a few modifications on the boat initially, (autopilot, lighting) then put her away for the winter. One of the reasons we chose Ranger is so we could extend the season as long as possible. This seems to be a very...

Hello everyone. Here they are. This is our new R21 and one of my two beautiful girls helping Dad show off. After many hours of questions and discussion we finally went ahead and purchased this beautiful 2008 model from Jack Pady Marine here in Penetanguishene, Ontario. I would like to thank...

Hello Everyone, As someone who just did "tie-up" a deal on an R21ec (Thursday in Toronto; ya-baby!), I would like to offer my 2 cents on this. Idelup, I can identify with some of the things you said in your post. Some of that thinking came into mind during our process of determining if this...

I thought of that and that certainly would work. I had just thought that the weight and pull may require a more permanent solution.

Hello All I was wondering if anyone has installed downriggers on their R21? I've looked at the boat and it seems that the most logical place might be just behind the rod holders (toward the bow). Any input would be appreciated. Thanks Gregg

Hi Bob I see that raymarine is introducing a new sportpilot this September. It would appear that an autopilot would be beneficial for this type of boat, for many reasons; fishing (downrigging), longer cruises, or any time that you would be going solo and need to step away from the helm. Why...

Good day Thanks for all the input. I really appreciate eveyone's thoughts on the boat. The R21 is definitely the boat for us. Hopefully we'll have some pictures to post in the not too distant future, along with all the other fine R21's here. Cheers Gregg

Good Day I'm new to this site but very happy that I have found it. I am a potential r21-ec purchaser from Ontario (we just got a dealer) and I have some questions about boat that I would appreciate your thoughts on. 1. How do you find launching and retrieving the boat? Any comments from...
