congrats. we will likely making that same jump in a year or so.

thanks: unfortunately no trailer, no big pickup truck...

I'd say, "yes" it has. not so much for the number of boats being listed on yachtworld (it is spring, after all) but for the number of late model boats I have been seeing various places. IE: 2019 - 2021 boats. As if folks bought during covid and now are getting back to pre-covid activities...

Has anyone shipped a boat from say Corpus Christi to a port on the Sea of Cortez? I have a Ranger Tug 29S which is trailerable with permits. Size wise, easily doable. What I'm curious about is shipping across Mexico..... Crazy idea? thanks, Dave

Jeff: we are living parallel lives. There is a 2004 A/T 34 in Wisconsin, the guy wants $340k Mostly fresh water boat. A similar one came on last week from Michigan for $269k, but they wanted an offer (contingent on survey) and a closing timeline before they would even show it. I was at a...

We are in the same "boat" quite literally. Have a RT29S and heading out west this month to look at the Helmsman 38, Nordic Tug and American Tug 362 and 365. We really really like our large RT 29S cockpit. But we are really looking forward to having some inside living space as well. Oh...

We have a Ranger Tug 29. Not THAT much smaller than the RT31 you listed. one just popped up for sale https://denovo.pacificnorthwestdiving.com/?fbclid=IwAR2jvuufTCpUUdfBrZZcEPj02wopkwsjxLO6oSI8u07VvKdKCDuawRjPCz8

Tell your wife, if this lady can do it solo, you can easily to it as a couple...

A little varnishing never killed anyone. Painting over brightwork is like putting ketchup on a hotdog (from Chicago), it is just wrong.........

we really do like our Ranger Tug 29S. Great company, great community........

From sailing to a 60' trawler. I've had a Chris Craft 27', Ranger tug 25, and currently a Ranger tug 29 post sailing career (H-28, E-25). So why am I agonizing over a handling a 41'? But to clarify: just the two of you? no crew?

so, you dont' know what you don't know 1) buy the book Voyaging under Power 2) buy Chapman's Piloting and Seamanship if you don't have it already 3) read articles like this: https://www.followingseas.media/blog/2018/3/2/a-new-twist-on-single-vs-twin 4) charter a trawler in the Pacific Northwest...

Well, if you are going to live on it. Wife hates V-berths. 200k or under. older nordic tug 34? Kadey Krogen 39? Grand Banks 36? (two cabins, but I think all the GB 32's are v-berth). We love our RT29, but not sure I'd want to live on it full time. Then again, I know a couple living on a...

1) I store in Kenosha. Slips basically open about mid march and they turn off the water mid October. 2) I am not sure I'd want to be on Lake Michigan in March and November. You won't last long if you go overboard. I used to take my wooden sailboat out in November in Chicago, but that was...

We have a Ranger Tug 29. A great boat for a couple without a ton of experience (bow/stern thrustors, easily managed -I single handle it quite a bit), and pretty complete (radar, nav, auto pilot, etc. etc). I would not hesitate to run over to the Bahamas on a calm day. A RT25 went to Cuba...

Holy moly..... 8.5mph at 1200 rpm. wow. I have a clean bottom. Not towing a sea anchor by mistake. I just ordered that additive!

that is great. When I called them to complain about my 25% rate increase (no claims) they said it was hurricanes and increased accidents in southern waters. No Great Lakes only endorsement. Maybe enough people switched that they "got it" and revised the policy.

Thanks, I will try that. This data was compiled on a two week trip, we were pretty loaded up with gear, food, ice, etc.

Inland boaters should not insure with Geico/Boat Us or progressive as they don't have (as of last summer) an Inland water or Great Lakes only endorsement. So you pay for our southern friends' exposure to hurricanes. Rob Willis at www.charterlakes.com set up just fine with a much lower premium.

I have owned a RT 25 and currently own a RT29S. They will both take more punishment than you will. Great customer service by the factory. Great community. Of course I deleted my RT25 fuel burn data, but here it is for my RT 29S rpm speed nmpg r0950 4.0 6.9 r1210 5.5 7.8 r1460...

I went to the FL boat show to look at the Nordhavn 41 with my buddy who owns a Regulator 34 center console with Seakeeper gyro stabilization. He asked the Nordhavn rep "can you get gyro stabilization in these?" The Nordhavn rep replied, "Trawlers aren't really a good match for gyroscopic...
