Well, your discussions of your Classics has convinced me that the one at Wefings will solve my problem of a 3+ hour 25 mile cruise to visit my grandchildren on my 21' Ranger Tug. I have decided to buy the '85 Classic and sell my tug. If you are looking for a great little tug with less than 200...

Having just moved from the Sanford area and spent two years on the river with my ranger tug, let me hit a couple of items. 1) Boating and Cruising Guide to the St. Johns River by Tom Kranz is a great guide with all the info. you will need. I got my copy at the Sanford City Marina. 2) I feel that...

Ok Brats, with experience of a classic or just knowledge of the early C-Dory hulls. To me the hull, especially where the bottom meets the bow entry really has the shape of the old dories (St. Pierre Dory). Even the stern starts to narrow. Was this the take -off and design concept that Toland...

Guys, Thanks for the info. I now have two ways to search for a certain boat. Ron

In trying to locate a25' tug I saw on the Tennessee River Sat.. I tried to sort "our C-Dorys" by state and only got 7 pages. It did not show all states that have C-Dorys. Being technically challenged. I must be doing something wrong, Can anyone tell me how to sort and get all to show? Thanks in...

Idleup, Congratulations on the beautiful boat and welcome to the site. As a Ranger owner I appreciate the site opening to us and get a lot of great information that helps me with my boating even though I do not own a C-Dory. I was one that got on your case a little about your comments on the 21...

Brent, Have only been aboard the Acadia sitting on a trailer so can not comment on ride or handling. Was very impressed with the straight forward approach to everything and appearance of ease of maintaince. The plain approach as mentioned in the other post is more like a C-Dory and Ranger 21...

Brent---Idleup I was about to suggest the Acadia also since it does not look quite as fishing-lobster as the pompano. Having been aboard an Acadia, if money was not an issue for an old retired guy, I would sell my Ranger 21 and buy an Acadia. It has most of the same look with the right...

Idleup, All of your points may be factual about the item itself. But not necessarily a problem or negative to all boaters. For many of us there is a lot of boat packed in 21' and worth a lot more than to "show off". I for one could not afford a 30' or 34' boat. I bet you are a better captain...

Idleup, I am glad for your sake that you took the time to realize the 21EC does not meet your needs for a boat. I would hate to see anyone spend 60k and find out later it was not for them. I did respone to your earlier post about the speed and admit it is an issue that one must get used to...

There is no claim to being an expert and my tug is a R-21 (2006) prior to the introduction of the 21EC. With the displacement hull and only 20 HP Speed is the most concerning fact of the tug. Over the two years I have gotten used to it and rather like it now. Enjoy the trip more and ((LOVE)) the...

Bob, The front jacks on my Lance camper rotated out to clear the dually fenders. The security feeling of an extra rear tire drove me to the dually and I never regreted the decision. In spite of a light camper you really have the feel of something up top and on the back. Ron

In reference to the comment on the EC only being out a couple of years, I have a 2006 tug that I was told that it was the last standard cabin that was built. The EC came out as a 2006 so the care should be taken in the 2006. All before were the standard and all after were the EC. The tug are...

Larry, Sorry I missed you on the Tennessee earlier this month. Back in Florida now and who knows, paths may cross here. My normal boating is here on the St. Johns and from personal enjoyment of boating I like the river south of Lake George best. From Jacksonville down toward Lake George it is a...

Getting into shallow enough water to beach it is the issue. I have beached it you might say where the water dropped off fairly deep quickly. As I ran the bow up on the sand it was difficult to climb out and back in the boat. With the full keel and skeg under the prop you just do not run into...

Does your 21EC have an actual temperature guage? I have the last 2006 21 built before they changed to the EC and mine does not have a guage. It only has the alarm, which is sensitive. A couple of time the water strainer became partially blocked and the alarm sounded at once. I have considered...

Larry, Stlofa is correct in that the dams can cause long delays. As I remember about 2.5 hours has been my longest delay on these dams. If you monitor the radio you can get around traffic at times. The longer tows these days do cause more delays because more have to break down and take two...

Don, Thanks for info. I shall contact them. As for being a dirt broker, I have no connection to the area other than love it and built my own home there. Am looking forward to PMs with questions. I am retired and do nothing other than boat and try to stay ahead of the honey-do lists. Have...
