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....

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.

When I call my childhood home friends in upstate NY (Fingerlakes Region), I

It's my understanding that day may not have arrived at all last year.
Maybe they'll get 2 days in '09. I hope so because we are thinking
of taking a cruise up that way later this year.

Ah, fer crying out loud! Try not to take what Larry writes too
seriously. The Fingerlakes have lovely warm summers, I live somewhat
north of the region and have visited there many times in summer. The
area is probably among the most beautiful in the north-east USA, I think
Larry is trying to keep it for himself.

Don't believe what he says about the winters there either, I guarantee
you that a winter in the Upper Peninsula, North Dakota, or even
Minnesota is way, way, way more harsh.

Cheers

Upstate NY has always been a great place to be FROM......
