Features & Layout

• Trailering-friendly beam (8'6″) means easier over-the-road transport than wider vessels.
• Smart layout for its size: forward V-berth, convertible dinette berth, and sometimes a mid-ship berth/office area. 
• Full galley: stove/oven (often propane), refrigerator/freezer, microwave.
• Enclosed head with shower. 
• Cockpit and aft deck are reasonably sized for entertaining, fishing or relaxing. One spec notes a 50 sq ft aft deck. 
• Some examples come outfitted for extended cruising: bow & stern thrusters for easier docking, solar panels, inverter systems, generator in certain listings.

Performance & Use Case

• Performance varies by engine and load. One owner noted: “with full load … we started … about 13 knots WOT at about 3800 RPM” in a 2013 R27 with Volvo D3-200 engine. 
• Its semi-displacement hull makes it suitable for comfortable cruising rather than high-speed runs. Good for coastal cruising, “pocket trawler” style use.
• Because of its moderate size and trailerable width, this model appeals to those who want the versatility of on-land transport plus water cruising.

Pros & Highlights

• Versatility: able to be trailered (beam under 9′) and used in multiple settings.
• Comfortable “small yacht” feel: full galley, decent accommodations for 2-4 people.
• Brand reputation: Ranger Tugs is known for practical, cruising-oriented boats.
• Good for cruising in inland/coastal waters, perhaps “Great Loop” style trips (as some listings mention).
