After spending a few days at the factory and seeing the changes that have been made. Winterizing is a lot easier. The central strainer covers three things all at once. Open the top and pour anti freeze (RV type) into the bowl. shut off the intake, (the through hull ), Have some one crank the...

Bob, In case the factory don't respond, I would make a comment. The factory in all cases runs every boat up to the max. In this case after the hose blew, Cummins was on board. To test it again we went pettle to the metal. If we had not tested this boat wide open the hose would have been a weak...

That seat is also setting on a swivel slider. It sets the seat up a couple inches. Which gives a better veiw. I might not be able to put it on the new boat, because they have the drink holder on the left side. for sure it would not swivel. That added arm rest site looks good. That might be my...

It was a great day yesterday, proving once again how Ranger, Andrew, Jim and the rest at Ranger Tug crew solves problems. With five good sized people on board the 150 cummins kicked along up to 18.5 miles an hour. That is full of fuel with 1/4 water. Andrew tested two different props with the...

Some time my giant brain works faster then my hunt and pecker fingers. :embarrased One thing I don't understand is: My pickup generater has an output of like 175 amps, yet when going down the road with a refrigerator on DC it will run the house battery down and run my pickup batteries down as...

Tad, Yup, we are on our way right now to the factory in Kent to pick up the new Lucky Fin. When I get it home I will add all my goodies, Leaving home after Thanksgiving. Our plan is to use Astor as our base. Good to store truck and trailer. We will spend a lot of time on the St. Johns all the...

Brats, This is my favorite subject. After 20 years of boating, live aboard on the hook, hardly ever staying in a marina. I think with the help of this site, I think we have solved the problems. We go to the Bahamas for up to three months at a time. At one time we used 8D batteries and had to...

Thanks James, there were two that might be OK. Audiovox and Naxa from $400 to $450 I need a flip up mount to go with the TV. The one little Toot has looks good to me. Anyone know what it is or where to find one? Captd

Factory shots of the Mis Dee canvas being fitted to the Lucky Fin

I have been searching high and low for a Tv/dvd. 12 volt or 110 run with an inverter. The one I had on the Mis Dee was great, but now obsolete. One of the R25 owners has a nice 110 volt with a mount, I would sure like to find. Looks like stainless. If anyone knows the make or source for either...
