Ranger Tugs R-25

The Ranger Tug 25 is a veritable floating water sports platform from her “roof racks” to the waterline.  Laurelin is a very nicely equipped version of this very popular Ranger Tug model, making her a great family cruiser.  Given her trailer-ability your cruising destinations can be widely varied, from the Inside Passage of the Northwest to the Island rich coast of Maine,

 

LAYOUT - INTERIOR

 

 

General

 

The interior teak joinerwork is well crafted teak, including the cabin sole. The interior arrangement is versatile and can be configured to accommodate up to four people with multi-function seating and sleeping arrangements, making it the perfect family cruiser. 

 

Salon

 

The salon includes the helm station, galley, and dinette.  It is very light and airy given four opening hatches overhead, four opening windows and two fixed windows in the cabin sides, wind screens across the forward cabin face, and four opening hatches above.  The windows are fitted with accordion blinds.  The aft cabin door also has a full height window.  

 

There is an upholstered helm chair within a comfortable reach of the wheel and dash mounted electronics, including electrical switch panels.  

 

In the center of the salon area, the dining table is to port with opposing settees.  The galley is across from it to starboard, and is fitted with a stainless-steel sink, Nova Kool refrigerator, and an impressive Wallas diesel stove.  Wallas stoves are efficient and easy to clean. 

 

Included among the many storage compartments onboard is a hanging locker area aft and to port in the salon.

 

Forward Cabin

 

The forward cabin consists of a double vee berth, and storage bins.  There are also stereo speakers for the Clarion sound system.  An overhead hatch brings in light and fresh air.

 

Dining Area

 

In the center of the salon area, the dining table is to port with opposing settees.  The dining table and settees are convertible for sleeping.

 

Helm Station

 

Having full command of the operation of the boat is made easy by the design and layout of the wheel and navigation instrumentation neatly installed in the helm station.  The wheel, engine control, bow and stern thruster controls, nav instruments, and electrical system breakers, are all within easy reach of the helm seat.  The visibility is great for the operator given the large wind screens with wipers.

 

Head

 

There is an enclosed head aft that is also convenient to the cockpit with a marine toilet, shower, vanity with sink/euro-style hot/cold shower, mirror and medicine cabinet.  An overhead hatch and opening portlight provide plenty of light and ventilation.  The floor consists of an easy to maintain fiberglass molded pan.  

 

Engines/Fuel System

 

The engine is a Yanmar 4YB2FWC (1040 hrs.) fresh water-cooled engine.  Yanmar has long been known for reliability, durability and would be the preferred power for the Ranger Tug.  Parts and service for Yanmar are widely available.  There is a multi-function Yanmar digital read-out.  

 

The fuel tank capacity is 75 gallons in an aluminum tank.  

 

Mechanical Systems

 

Laurelin has Side-Power bow and stern thrusters for easy and accurate handling in and out of the marina, with a remote for thruster and autopilot control.  There is also a set of trim tabs.
