Made The R-25 Plunge

The boat is great. What I love is the picture of the Ranger 25 in front of that great BIG MOTOR YACHT. All of a sudden the Ranger makes even more sense. And I'll bet gets used a lot more. Beautiful comparison.

That's the first thing I said when I walked up for the sea trial - funny thing about it though, I can do just about everything he can with mine - except I get to take mine home and don't have to pay dock rental. I also get around 14 MPG with on long trips (behind the truck)! :lol:
 
Congratulations IdleUp! Our R-25, Moondance, is our first boat. We couldn't be happier. It doesn't hurt that sailboat owners, and large M/Y owners are constantly telling us what a great boat she is.

Cruise on!
 
Idle Up,

Congratulations on your new Tug. She's a beauty and it looks like you've got all the extras. I noticed those bars over the aft cabin roof, is that for kayaks/ dinghies?

Sorry I got a bit fired up over your early posts. Don't know what I was thinking. At any rate, it seems you've really done your homework on this new addition and I wish you many hours of joy aboard!

Thanks again to all on the warm welcome - yep, those bars are exactly for what you thought, for carrying a dingy or whatever. I'm very fortunate to be able to walk out my back door and take her out - we've been out on three 1/2 day cruises breaking her in - lots of fun and the sailboat guys are waving me down to ask questions.

Thanks Again!
 
That outside interest seems to come along with ownership of most C-Dories and Rangers. I usually get to the lake Thursday nite, but got tied up this week and did not get there until about noon Friday. There were four people at the harbor cafe waiting for me to show up so I could show them the TomCat. On top of that, I got pulled over by some Jet Skiers while cruising who also wanted to board and tour.

In our area, a trailerable boat that is economical to operate, able to run throughout the winter, and still have all the creature comforts is a bit rare.

I actually had a deposit down on a Ranger 25, when they were first out, but the slow speed (of the first models out) and the lack of available diesel year 'round here in the MidWest, forced me to go back to the TomCat. I am happy with the TomCat, but still drool over the unique flare and warmth of the Ranger 25s.

Out the back door??? Oh my.... what a dream,

Hey Dr John,

I was checking out your Toma-hawk images - pretty nice ride, I was also drooling over that beautiful electronics installation on your boat as well. Very, very nice!
 
Hi Idleup

Congratulations on your new purchase.

We will be taking delivery on Oct 2 2008 of a new 2009 R25 Ranger Boat and we are really excited about it.
