Ranger Tugs R-31 S Tour & Walkthrough
Автокөліктер мен көлік құралдары
Welcome aboard the R-31 Sedan! Ranger Tugs General Manager, Andrew Custis met us down at the Factory Delivery dock to walk us through the features you'll find from stem to stern on the R-31 S. She's built with extended cruising in mind, featuring a rooftop solar panel, ample storage, a full galley and accommodations that allow for comfortable long-term stays. Whether you plan on doing the Great Loop, spending time exploring your local cruising grounds or trailering to remote destinations, the R-31 Sedan is well equipped for your needs. Having a 10-foot beam allows the R-31 S to be trailerable, bringing distant waterways within easy reach. Learn more about the Ranger Tugs R-31 S at: www.rangertugs.com/models/mod...

One of the odd things about COVID, is I have no money nor any knowledge of boating, and I have now watched a thousand boating videos. This is my kind of boat.

I'm with you there. I would love to be able to afford this Ranger Tug even just the basic model. That only only thing I will add is the additional steering options.

I have a mental image when I think of the word "Tug", this Ranger certainly shatters that notion. Well done.
She's truly a beauty

I really like that boat. A great mix of practicality and comfort. She has a sturdy, purposeful look, combined with nice styling and fine woodwork. You could fish from her or cruise in comfort with friends. She looks a perfect all rounder and packs a lot into her size.
Great job, Andrew!!!!
Not only is this a well thought out boat, and it is. My favorite part was the feeling or the boat inside. It just exudes warmth. Cozy is the term that come to mind. I would give anything to live on this little ship. This is a great retirement home. Why be stuck in a fixed house or apartment. Live here. Travel up and down the coast or travel the loop. I would stretch a 2 person hammock across the aft cockpit and absorb the fresh air and the birds.I won't stop thinking little magnificent ship. Thanks, Jerry

Tugs & trawler yachts always have more livable space area than other boats of similar length.
What a wonderful concept design & manufacture. It would be a dream to be able to live aboard a craft such as this.. Whoever owns one of these, realize how fortunate you are. Enjoy!
Very impressive boat 👍obviously a lot of thought has gone into - especially the outdoor stern area.

Thank you! Our engineers are lifelong boaters and work hard to get the most functionality out of every area of the boat.
Thank you for showing your great vessels. I love where your BATTERY is stored. No matter the charging state of the art. You will end up changing Batteries. The location on Stern hatches make it so easy to pull out even a 12 volt battery is very HEAVY to lug to exit point up on deck. Brilliant location on design. So glad the DAD father of the company has great managers like you, running the company. I love that you rented out that North dock area of Des Moines Marine. For on water cruise Demo. The travel lifts that CSR operates for you to get your great vessels in and out of Marina (call out to WENDELL the best operator) of travel lifts. He has slung me many times.

Wow, what a super beautiful and functional boat with smart solutions. The spaces are used very well and built with care. For example, a boat is meant with compliments to the builders. Top and welcome to the European market. Great Peter Netherlands

Another great video Capt Andy! I didn't realize the last piece ut was still tied up at the doc. Do they have enough room for two more? Or are they practicing when the next to do arrive Looks like it is prime picking time for the Grappler too? Lots of fresh, water-soaked autos to be pulled free. Hopefully, the weather for there journey further south will be uneventful and they get the LA without any problems. Thank you for keeping us upsated!

So much real estate on a pocket trawler! Love the gunwale cutaway bench seats in the cockpit. The half bath in the aft cabin is a nice touch as well. Sign me up! The only thing I need extra is a generator and A/C.
Nice boat! Wish this was affordable enough back when we bought our used 31' in the Pacific Northwest. I've seen the various Ranger Tug models sitting at that dock where they filmed this walk-through. One of the couples in our U.S. Power Squadron had a 28' Ranger Tug and he loved it and trailered it around too. Pretty good layout, well thought out. Looks like it 'could' sleep 6 adults, but might be a bit tight with all their belongings. Nice couples boat or even single-handed operation.

This boat looks really cosy
Bulbing out the bow where the centerline meets the water then adding breadth would make this a truly a spectacular "fleet management vehicle" as there is a profound lack of deck space save for up top which in addition to the side door makes this an awesomely fun machine for both entertaining and everyday use.
Sure looks like a great boat.
Brilliant.
Ill keep this one in the back of my head
Shopping for a Loop Boat and i think this may be the boat for us.

Ranger Tugs are fantastic. There is one weird feature they overlook in a boat that is extremely, extremely well thought out. Screens. Why do they not have rolling flyscreen/blackout blind hatch covers? When both the flyscreen and blackout blind are retracted you have easy access to the latches without the hassle of stowing the loose screens. Come on Ranger Tugs, this is low-hanging fruit!
Excellent walk through!
I want one 😍😍😍
Where on Earth would I find sheet covers for those beds?! 😉 A really great use of space and love the fold-out cockpit seats. Great idea!
Great review of a fantastic boat.Tge only problem I see is the boat is set up for our bad west coast weather but at the back all of the seats open back so you are no longer under cover so if it rains you have no seating under cover out side .
very nice, ithink i like the tugs better than the yachts
Nice.
DVD player!!! Fancy!!
A lot of neat features for a boat this size. My only negative comment would be that the engine compartment is really small making it difficult to do any work to the engine especially if the boat is underway.
I was hoping years ago when the R-29 seemed much the same as the 31, Ranger might stretch her to 32 and make the internal accomadations longer, leaving the aft deck size the same as the 29, but with the cool fold out seats. Look at the weather in the video. Cruising in cooler climates would be nicer with more interior space for hanging out. Yeah, 3/4 size fridge to right of door, and toilet and sink for guest cabin/day head to left as you enter from aft deak. Still love the concept. Trailerable with a beefy pickup. You can use it as a boaterhome enroute to next cruise!!!!!
My dream boat
I like your style

Where I live in south Louisiana, it’s bass boats, gator tails, dirt devils and center console, center console, center console! No one from Slidell to Lake Charles sells cabin style pocket yachts.
a few rod holders and fish tank you got a nice tug/fish/boat
Just beautiful. This would be perfect for Alaska. To bad I’m just an average Joe……..
A really nice boat which I really like. But what I'm missing are windows in the bedroom. Not only to look out but also for ventilating. Thx.
Хороший Обзор!!! Спасибо Эндрю!!! +подписка!!!
i wish i could afford one of these. even the smallest used one.
great
thus would be a perfect weekend bahamas runner
Yes,the best boat r31
There was one of these in the slip next to my Albin Trawler It took on enough water one night that required a lot of technicians to fix it Listening to them didn’t make me want anything as complex.

That day way a soaker, we moved under the cover of the cockpit hardtop and inside the cabin as soon as possible, turned on the reverse cycle heat and the rest of the walkthrough was a breeze.
