Captd, What are you referring to as ranger site? Ron

Joe, Thanks for the response. I had looked at your album before but did not realize Kea was the your tug. Was much damage done on the rocks? I like the looks of it and appreciate the info. you gave. It must be great to work with boating and enjoy it as a hobby also. Ron

Joe, You refferenced your seahorse tug in a post some time back. Is it possible to post a picture some time of it since we tug owners (I) would love to see it. Can not find a seahorse on the internet and would like to know more about what you have. Tugs are fun boats and I like to see what...

The posts were right about the great site this is. It about has me hooked on checking the computer each day. (not bad for a technically challenged person) Ha! I am a little confused on the site posting on hull identification numbers. The invoice with my tug from Ranger shows the HIN# to be...

Thank you both for your replys. Joe, I have observed in the past that you always give very detailed replys and as with myself I am sure they are really appreciated. In this you hit items that I had not even thought of. For the sake of us less experienced keep up this excellent responce. Ron

I would appreciate anyone that could give me an approximate weight of a 22' Angler with a 70 hp suzuki and a tandem axle trailer. Please assume full of fuel and supplies for a two day fishing outing (noone on board). Thanks in advance, Ron

John, Jim has stated much better than I did went I talked about my change coming and needed a faster boat. As my mission was about pleasure cruising the tug as I stated is the prefect boat for me but as my mission becomes pleasure cruising and having frequent destinations to make the tug is a...

John, One last post on this since it is leaving the C-brat main theme. Go to atlas boats for sale on the web and hit the one to take you to Yachtworld.com and look at the 25' for sale in Seattle. It is a 2001 and for sale for $62,000. Many factory installed extras such as galley up and deck...

John, The reference was in change of useage. On the St. Johns we are pleasure cruising up and down the river. Whether site-seeing or going out to eat it is limited in distance. On the Tennessee my son lives 165 miles away and my daughter 30 miles. Eating establishments are 5 to 30 miles away. to...

John, Another boat that may meet your needs is a 21' Atlas Pompano. This boat is standard with a 54HP Yanmar with options of 75 or 110 HP Yanmars. It is a lobster type boat and built in Cape Coral, Fl. Good luck Ron

John, I agree with you and would love to see the boat. The EC has some good improvements over my 2006 tug. If that cruise was available I would buy one but if I change now it will probably be for a CD22 or an Eastern 22 or 24. Good luck with your search. Ron

John, In 125 hours of running the boat I have never run at WOT and checked my speed. With cruising at 2000 RPM with the 20 HP engine my GPS shows 6 MPH. At 3000 RPM I have noticed a little over 7 MPH and the stern is digging in so saw no need in trying more and just burning fuel for such a...

Tad, Sorry that I missed the post with the question. Heathrow is basically in Lake Mary (also a hop and skip from Sanford). I was up at Hontoon to see Captd. the day after you left there I believe. Most of my boating is on the St. Johns but have been on the ICW out of Daytona to Pounce Inlet...

Pokey, When I ordered a 2006 tug there were only two options, the 20HP and 30HP. I am sure you could call the plant at (253) 839-5213 and John Livingston (owner) can answer your question. They were good to answer anytime that I called. They were one of the most customer friendly companies that...

The top was built at a fiberglass shop in Titusville, Fl. They do a lot of work for boat manufactures in the area and build tops for center console fishing boats. I gave him dimensions that I wanted and he modified a mold he had to get the size. I then purchased stainless bow rail from West...

The question on fuel consumption is an interesting question which I am waiting to read answers on. Being the owner of a 2006 R21, I have found that it uses so little fuel that it is hard to determine the actual mileage. Well it has not been worth the trouble to measure it that close. I cruise...

Bob, I have an '06, probably the last one built prior to the change to the EC version which picked up the 18" and the slight hull change to improve speed. We have had no problems and love the boat for cruising on the St. Johns River. You will draw a lot of attention with the boat and if you...
