Ranger 21 EC Facelift

[Bluto]

I acquired Olive Oyl in Key West and brought her to Ft Pierce on her own bottom. (video on YouTube). She is a 2008 and was a bit rough around the edges so I gave her a little facelift. The tire fenders give her permission to look hand painted. She is after all, a tug!

Great job!! What was the failed attempt at gelcoat and what finally worked?

Nice job. As a fellow ranger 21 tag owner I completely understand how much work these boats can be. You did a great job.

Getting it to “fire” correctly is a nightmare in the Florida heat and humidity. Rolled and tipped Marine Topsides quart cans by Rust Oleum from Home Depot. Simple solution.

2017 R21EC, Ohio, blue hull. Just replaced the forward hatch 16x16 due to cracks in the frame. Spending hours trying to wax/buff the hull and brown cabin color. Repaired the transducer with flex seal and it looks like i am going to replace the exhaust elbow sometime this summer. You have done a great job and i like the tire fenders......

Welcome to Tugnuts! Looks like you also polished your portholes. I polished mine for the first time after nine years. Looks great, but they begin to tarnish and spot almost immediately, even in fresh water! 2016 R21EC Hero Red. Cheers
