Ranger R-27
One of the great things about the sporty little cruisers Ranger Tugs builds—you get a heck of a lot of boat for the money. The new, outboard-powered Ranger R-27, for example, is sold “fully equipped and ready to cruise,” according to the manufacturer, and this rather expansive claim is not even faintly exaggerated. I mean, how many other small, recreational cruisers are there today that a guy can buy in the morning, trailer to a launch ramp at noon, and then head safely and comfortably off into the wild blue yonder for an evening on the hook, with everything from fenders and lines to a sophisticated navigation package already on board? Not many.
