Ranger Tug
There’s a lot to be said for a pocket cruiser and the ingenuity required to fit all the necessities and comforts of a larger boat into a trailerable package, like the Ranger Tugs R31. But even at 31’ this can be a bit larger or a little more expensive than some want. And if there’s any builder that’s seems to have perfected shrinking trawlers down to size without losing use-ability, it’s Ranger Tugs. Now the Washington-based company proves it’s possible to be efficient with space, weight, hull form and ride in an even smaller package, with its R-27, an 8’6”-wide cruiser that’s built for week-long adventures and priced far below the cost of a full-size model.
The R-27, which is positioned between the builder’s 25 and 29, offers the comfort and fuel economy of a larger trawler in a smaller package that also gives owners the option of going faster and exploring more anchorages on in a nimble craft. Who is it best suited for? A couple can cruise comfortably aboard, particularly if that couple wants a boat that won’t eat up their retirement savings in monthly payments and operating costs. Sure, you have to make some compromises here (that narrow beam, for instance, makes for slim sidedecks), but there are big benefits, too. Among them is performance.
The Ranger 27 is powered by a single 180-hp Yanmar 4BY2 turbocharged 4-cylinder common rail diesel engine. As you might guess, speed is not this boat's strong point, but range is. Even at a “fast” cruise between 13 and 15 knots, the boat will travel about 200 miles on a tank of fuel, which equals about two eight-hour days between fill-ups. For more efficient runs, throttle back to 7.5 knots and take in all of the sights while enjoying savings at the pump.
We like the fact that the R-27 comes standard with both bow and stern thrusters. These electric units will go a long way toward reducing the amount of stress the captain shoulders when approaching an unfamiliar dock. For those who are new to boating, this equipment is especially nice. Thrusters, and engine controls, are operated from the helm that’s adjacent to a clever companion seat arrangement. It’s a bi-fold seat that allows two passengers to sit facing forward and help the skipper keep watch. But when the hook is down and provisions are broken out, the seat folds the other way to become part of the dinette. The dinette is served by a galley with a propane stove and oven.

Our company was founded by Jack Hargrave in 1957 in Palm Beach, Florida. In addition to being a Hall of Fame yacht designer best known for his work with builders like Amels, Burger, and Hatteras yachts, Jack Hargrave was also a highly successful yacht broker, as was his father before him. If you are not familiar with our company, Hargrave Yachts is one of the oldest and most respected yacht brokerage firms in the State of Florida. In addition to being a full-service yacht brokerage organization we maintain an in-house service department that our customers rate as 5-Star. When most yacht manufacturers put in their own in-house design and engineering departments we made the decision to begin building yachts in the 65â-200â size range under the Hargrave brand name in 1997. As we tell all our brokerage clients, "If we can't find the perfect boat for you we'll build it!"
