Brent, I hope it's a HULL and not a HULK! :shock: :lol: :disgust
 
That was very kind of Marc to allow us to use his images on our site. I hope to put up more pictures of the boat and a video after I get back from the Miami Boat Show this weekend.
 
Brent , thanks for the compliment and Tom , I look forward to meeting you and Ed this week . We are leaving at 3;30 A.M
Looking forward to some warm weather ,good sales,good scenery, and a Mojito or two.We ran the 29 again today and she is SWEET.

Interesting "Ensign" flying.... It would help to see video of the vessel underway at speed and to demo maneuverability. Still photos might give you a better idea of the actual inside. The constant motion and panning can be annoying.

Is the main electrical panel and air conditioning under those steps on each side of the cockpit?
 
We have video of the other Rangers at speed, but did not get the opportunity to shoot the 29 from a chase boat or a bridge as I did with the 25 and 21.

The folks from Ranger had some professionals make a video and virtual tour, and Jeff told me it will be ready in a month or so. Should look a lot better than my novice efforts!

I put some new pictures of the Ranger Tugs R-29 on our website.

The port side cockpit locker contains the batteries, the water heater, and the main switches and relays for the batteries. The starboard side one contains the generator. They're HUGE storage spaces.
 
Marc was kind enough to give us the tour of the 29 when we were at Wefings Tuesday. An impressive boat. If we get crazy enough to sell the house and go to a boat full time, we could live on this boat. It fits the bill for splitting time between the Keys and San Francisco Bay.

With the original prop [4 Blade] we saw 21.5 Kts in Apalachicola with 1/2 fuel and 1/2 water 3 guys . It was bouncing off the rev limiter . They have since gone to a 3 blade with an inch more pitch and saw much higher speeds in Seattle. There was a report of over 27 MPH . In Miami with 9 people on board we got 20 Kts every time with the 4 blade, some times a little more . So, a 15 Kt cruise is not a stretch at all . I saw 1.1 GPH at 6 Kts . I saw 5-6 at 12 Kts . Max was about 12 GPH . All these numbers will change when our new prop gets here . It has surpassed our expectations . Ill do a more full set of #s when we get the correct prop . All in all its very impressive . When we get her demo ready after the shows Ill say the word . It was enjoyable to be there with John and Dave Livingston . They are great guys .
