Ranger Tugs R-25

Nov 7, 2019

With a philosophy of quality and ‘doing things right Ranger Tugs launches the all new R-25 at the Ft. Lauderdale International Boat Show.

The new Ranger Tugs R-25 is a feature-packed cruiser designed for comfort, ease of use, quality and FUN! For over 60 years Ranger Tugs has been building boats that have the accommodations, layouts and versatility boaters want. The R-25 combines a wealth of experience gained over many years, with modern design and technology, to provide boaters the best in handling, seakeeping, and performance.

The Ranger Tugs R-25

is powered by a single Yamaha 250hp Outboard driving a modern hull that is

fast and efficient whether planing or running at displacement speeds. A convenient bow thruster makes docking safe, easy and calm.

The Ranger Tugs R-25 features our signature Wrap Around swim platform which allows boaters to walk past the outboards on level non-skid decking with no outboard well, rigging tubes or hoses to trip over. Heavy-duty stainless-steel handrails provide stability for boarding, fishing, watersports, and safe dinghy access. A retractable swim ladder conveniently stows in the platform for easy entry from the water or the ground when trailering. The swim platform continues aft, parallel to the outboard providing unprecedented access for easy boarding whether side or stern tied. Built in mini fenders aft add protection when backing into the dock and for dinghy boarding.

Pontoon boats began in the early 1950s as basically four steel drums lashed to a frame. They were not unlike the log rafts of ancient cultures and not much more sophisticated at first.

The Best of Two Worlds

By Mathew Channer

Interior British Columbia might not be as famous for recreational boating as Canada’s Great Lakes, yet it is no less a world-class boating destination. The mountains offer their own flavour of marine adventure with their series of long, deep ribbon lakes, and there is perhaps no area that embodies this more uniquely than the iconic Okanagan basin in southern B.C. One could be forgiven for assuming this valley was purpose-built for nautical fun, with a few delightful perks thrown in to make the area entirely irresistible (wine-tasting, anyone?).
