Ranger Tug 27?

I believe we can design a 2 axle aluminum trailer for the R 27 with no problem . We can get 11k carrying capacity from 2 axles . My educated guess on loaded weigh for the boat with fuel water Etc in cruising trim will not exceed 10k . The average R 25 is around 8k and they are around 6000 dry . The 180 Yanmar is the same weight as the 150 in the R 25 , so the increases will be in tankage,and the 2 feet of hull .

And in the extra lawn chairs and the 12 margarita blender that can now be fit in the longer cockpit. :cocktail
 
We will definitely be attending C-Dory gatherings and maintaining friendships we have made over the years and all are welcome aboard for tours... and other stuff.
 
Any updates or photos?
After Adrienne saw Joe and Ruth's new 'R Matey' there were stars in her eyes! :star :D :star
Mebby Chester, our 22 Cruiser, isn't our retirement boat after all. :wink
 
I spent more than an hour in, on, and around the ranger 27 at the Anacortes Trawlerfest. It was just like Russ and Toni's and boy was it nice. It has the same beam and draft as the 25, both bow and stern thrusters standard and costs about $10K more than the 25. I was very impressed (and Jeff knew it, he offered to take C-Cakes in trade and tempted me with a hat!! He's just evil) :twisted: :roll:

We're sure glad that the two of you were with us (May 17th) when R-Matey was delivered to Bellingham. Appreciate Adrienne taking photos for us (which I still need to post). Wish that you could have attended the Anacortes TrawlerFest.....you just might have acquired a new retirement boat :)

Hey, we totally understand....only in our case it was the 25SC at the SBS. We've been looking at these Ranger Tugs for years. Only this year was different...we were MESSMERIZED......and not only did we get hats but some really nice key floats. Go for it Barry...you and Patti deserve it....now that's what Fred kept telling us for years.... :smile....and look at what happened to us :thup

I am anxious to see this boat too. Regrettably, we did not make it up to Anacortes to see it and I am still waiting for the Ranger folks to update their website w/ info on the R27.

If we ever make it to retirement (God knows Social Security will be gone by then plus their are rumblings about once again raising the retirement age) then I could imagine the R27 being the perfect boat to spend a whole lot of time on.

Barry.... is sure sounds like it would be an ideal home away from home for you and Patti.

Hopefully, will see one up close and personal one of these days!!

Take care,
Dan & Tanya
