Wailedcentipede, I'd vote for your "click" idea, although click may not be the right word.....it has negative connotations like exclusion of others. But a separate heading on this forum would be good, maybe one that John Livingston or someone from the company would monitor to answer questions...

I read somewhere (maybe on this forum) that it only takes a couple of hp to get a full displacement hull such as the Ranger R21 up to hull speed. That means the 20 hp Yanmar that is standard equipment should be more than sufficient. If your not pushing barges or towing a big load, what is the...

Jim, Thanks...........when I get comfortable with her I'd like to do that. Dave

I'll check with John......could you post a few pictures of the fiberglass top? That sounds like a better solution. Dave

Roger, thanks, that's a handy feature............Warren, click on "profile" after logging in to change data. Dave

Just wondering how many R21 owners are on this forum besides Ron Cowan, K7MXE and myself. I'm brand new to the R21 and am looking for a knowledge base, in case questions or problems come up. Thanks, Dave

Ron, is your R21 an extended cabin model or Classic? That full enclosure canvas is available for the EC, but I'd like to find where one is available for the Classic. Dave

Congratulations on your new R21EC. I just bought a slightly used 2005 R21 and have taken possession, but haven't gotten her wet yet. Wouldn't you know we had several days of freezing weather and ice as soon as I brought her home. Hope to go out this weekend. If you're trailering through South...

Where in Texas will ya'll be in January? In the Hill Country, west of Austin, January might be freezing cold or shorts wearing warm. Might be one of those one day and the other the next, but there's lots of lakes to fish/cruise. Congrats on your new boat! Dave

Sneaks wrote: Hey good to hear from another submariner. Nukes? Were you forward of the reactor or aft? I went both ways, nuke and diesel, but never engineering. I think Dave did the same. (I did this quote thing manually, how the heck do you get the forum to do it?) I was strictly...

Charlie, that was supposed to be a humorous reply (note the smiley face) to your statement that being European they may drive on the left. I thought you were referring to the way they drive their autos, there the steering wheel (helm) is on the right, here it is on the left in our cars. I said...

Charlie, the helm on the R21 is right in the middle(amidships), so she can go either way :D

I ordered the download version of Motorboat Simulator. Had no idea how much 29,95 Euro was till this morning when the charge showed up......$41 US....not bad I guess.

Now, that is an old boat! Any idea of the year that picture was made?

I started out on the diesel boats (SS303) in New London, Conn. and we routinely steamed up the Thames River and tied up to one of the piers at the Sub Base without the aid of tugs or anything else. The combination of river flow, tide and wind sometimes made it a challenge to twist the boat to...

Thanks for the replies..........got several books on order now, can't wait to get her in the water. Think I'll also get some 10"X26" fenders, just in case! Dave

Just ordered Chapman Piloting.....Thanks

I've been on the water for 50 years. There's been several boats, from a 14' outboard to, for the last 21 years, a 20' Kayot with a 260 hp Mercruiser but all have had a "pointable prop". I have just bought a 2005 Ranger R21 Classic with a 30hp Yanmar diesel and I have never operated a fixed...
