As I live in Colorado and have my R-25 in Edmonds I relied on others for advice on who are good people to do my 50 hour service. Galley Marine did the shaft alignment, valve adjustment and belt check. Apparently the shaft needed alignment and two valves needed adjustment. Don't have the bill...

I like the 125 HP. At 3000 RPM, my boat gets 12/13 MPH and uses a reasonable amount of fuel. I am guessing 2, 2 1/2 gallons per hour. At wide open throttle, it does get noisy, but at cruising speed the noise level is fine. I have about 30 hours on the engine and just added 60 gals. of diesel...

Good morning Drew My apologies. I guess I live and learn. My number is 09J which means hull number 9 even though it may have been produced after hull "10". I have the 125 HP Yanmar. I'm not sure whether that's an option for you, though. I have some brownish-red residue on most of the...

Drew I signed up for a new Ranger-25 at the 2006 Seattle Boat Show. I took delivery last Thanksgiving and was told by John at the factory that I had hull # 10. Maybe I had better check my slip at the marina to see if it is still there? We have enjoyed the boat immensely and I am certain you...

Dan. Congratulations on receiving your new R-25. I took delivery of hull # 10 just before Thanksgiving and have enjoyed using it immensely. Mine is also blue with a 125 HP Yanmar. Only had it out on the Sound a few times because of the weather, but what fun it was. Nice to have another C-Ranger...

Doug: I am using Essex. They're at www.essexcredit.com and have better boat interest rates than my credit union. Doesn't hurt to see what they say. Good luck. R-25 on order

Patrick: Check out the Webasto heater line. One site is at www.suremarine.com. They also sell several of the other heaters you mentioned. I'm thinking about having a Webasto heater installed in my CR-25 ranger. Looks like a good heating system, but a bit more expensive than the factory Wallas...

The R-25 Ranger Raymarine C-120 electronics package from the factory only includes GPS with fish finder, illuminated compass, and VHS radio, but no radar, chartplotter, or auto pilot. Besides radar and GPS, what other electronics should I have installed for cruising on Puget Sound and the Inland...

Les, thataway, and Pat: thanks for the great info. I put money down on an R-25 at the 2006 Seattle boat show. The internet literature assumes an 80HP (really75HP) Yanmar as standard and an additional, I believe, $3750 for the 110HP option. If the factory still assumes the 75HP Yanmar is the...

Les: 1. If one opts for the Yanmar 110HP engine, what kind of performance can one expect? 2. If the factory offers the Volvo 160HP engine as an option, can you offer a guess as to the cost for the Volvo upgrade? R-25 on order

Hello Jim: I'd use the Endurance name. It was a fine vessel and had a fine explorer captain in Robert Shackelton. It simply wasn't made for antarctic ice like the Norwegian Fram. No rules about using former ship names. :thup

Maybe Jeff could regularly update those of that made a deposit last January on a C-ranger-25 via e-mail. It would be nice to know what progress is being made at the factory and possibly a guesstimate on our delivery dates. Pat: I appreciate your comments on the R-25.
