Good to know! Jeff Cress and I were plotting on what we were going to need to add for the boats up here. We were going to use mine as a test bed and see just how many would be needed...Still concerned about the rudder...Will have to see if it is bonded in or not. If not, may need to add 1 more...

They reacted quickly, it is gone now! :oops:

Yep! That shrimp pot was what I remembered but can't find the crab pots anywhere! Thanks for the info Drew

Tom, Are the new traps ur changing to from a guy at SBS? I saw some really cool shrimp/crab pots that fold down, but srang into position when ready to use. Have been thinking of them since but can't remember the name or how to get ahold of them. Drew

Capt Bob, As always thanks for your insight! My wife and I have recently being dreaming of a trip just as you and Capt D are speaking of. I have slowly been doing a little research into just what that trip would entail and if the R-25 would be made of stern enough stuff! It would be really...

No worries Tim! Everyone has been helpful on this site and it has been a pleasure to read and share information. I hope your search goes well. I appreciate the heads up on the zinc issue! I was wondering if what I saw was enough protection or if it was added after. Appreciate the help Drew

I'm not sure (yet) what the costs of the R-25 will be, but I figure my maintenance fees will go down by 1/2. Currently I own a 40' Ponderosa with twin yanmars. Depending on where you moor...you may have to change zincs every 5-7 months. last bill for this in Tacoma was around $320... so being on...

Tim, I ordered with Jeff and John @ trawlerfest in June and they were projecting a late October production....I was hoping for summer, but this gives me sometime to prepare. :lol: I heard from Jim Cress at the same show that he had just ordered 3 R-25's for Skippercress I believe he was...

Good Morning!!! Just got back from Poulsbo where trawlerfest was happening...It was a beautiful trip over on friday, but wet and windy through the weekend. Expected to see the guys from LUSR there but was presently suprised when I found Ranger Jeff and Jon L. with the families. They had 2...

Aye

Congratulations! The day to get your new tug is coming soon! I hope you both enjoy it! I stopped at the factory last week and saw #31-#34 getting ready so your closer than you think probably. I look forward to getting together with all the north sound neighbors once the boss signs off on our new...

I agrre with you 100% I have been watching these boats since they first came out and just now have gotten to a point where the CFO is agreeable to changing! I think I just want to make sure I do the "right thing" :embarrased Instead jumping on the first boat available. How has the 125hp engine...

THis is a great setup! I'm just curious as I am coming from a larger boat with inverter....What are running with this and how have you got wired into the system....Is it strictly to run certain appliances or are you running all your house systems :?:

Morning Anders! The hull number on the lot down in Fife (sorry, should say VIN) is FMLT2510J607. Reading some of the previous posts I took that to mean that this was hull 10. Sorry if I got things confused! Sounds like your trip to Poulsbo was great! We haven't been there in about a year on...

Have a great trip...It sounds like the type we all want to do eventually! Drew

Thanks to everyone for their input.... I have been lurking on the site for a few months, but our situation changed recently and I think we maybe moving towards a solution soon!!! I look forward to future posts as just lurking on the site has given me great ideas. Hopefully one day, we can even...

Evening to All! My wife and I are looking at purchasing a R-25. we are down sizing from a 40' Ponderosa. Of course, I have tons of questions for those who have gone before. Right now LUSR in Fife has hull#10 for sale and I have been thinking very hard about making the purchase. I have some...
