Somehow I don't think it's a real Ranger,,, I think the smallest they
made was 21' and it had a 30 horse Yanmar, which by itself would be
worth a good deal more than this little guy.

I think it's a scaled down copy....

Cheers

I won't even give it copy status as it doesn't look like I remember
Ranger 21's looking. I think the guy just called it a Ranger maybe in
hopes of riding on a famous name or just pulled the name out of the air.

Yuck!
Did that design come from a childrens book named the little tug that
can't ?

How Cute! Let's hope, in Seattle, that there's some way to steer it from
INSIDE the little deck house, not just sitting out in the freezing rain
clutching the tiller, fingers unable to grasp with frostbite.

What a crime it is to make such a type of boat with an outboard motor for
power, not a little, slow-turning, economical diesel putt putt whos slow
throbbing would make it so much more "nautical" in a tugboat.

Agreed. It is surprising how many people think that you can have 6' headroom
regardless of boat length.

Ya, less than 30' it will be difficult to have 6' standing headroom unless
you have deep bilges and a very low sole, unless, of course, you don't mind
the "outhouse" look. Catboats usually don't have standing headroom unless
they are very, very big -- yet they can have tremendous living space for an
otherwise "short" boat.
