My wife and I are from Utah and will be in the Seattle area (July 4-8th). We are really interested in buying a Ranger Tug but would like to see one in person. You can only tell so much with YouTube videos. Are there any of you guys willing to give us a tour around your boat? We can range from Tacoma in the south all the way up to Anacortes. We are really hoping to see a R27, R29, and a R31cb. Hoping to lie in the V-berth of an R27 to judge whether my 6'4" frame fits in there or not. Also like to compare the R29 to the R31. Any suggestions as to the best fireworks show to be at for the 4th? Thanks, Jeremy

La Conner has the best fireworks show around. The natives, who make the fireworks, shoot off everything that didn't sell. We were there last year and the show went on for 2.5 hours straight. Non stop fireworks.

Also, being 6'4, you'll like the R29 and R31 island beds over the R27 v-berth.
 
Call Andrew, he probably has all three at their Ranger dock in DesMoines. It's possible he could arrange something.

We will be passing through the area this weekend on the way to Olympia to haul out on Monday. You are welcome to see our 2019 R29CB. PM me if interested. We have been traveling in it for a month - headed home to Oregon.
 
+1 on Des Moines. I just traded in my R29 and its sitting at the Des Moines dock and Steve's R31 is usually there too.
 
My R31-S is available to see in Bainbridge until July 6 (transient moorage for the week), and then in Seattle from July 6 onwards (home port, not sure the exact time we will be back yet)

Not a command bridge, but should give you a good idea.

DM me if you want to schedule something
 
Thank you everyone, for your generous offers!! I have contacted Andrew, and he has some of the models I want to look at.
I will DM some of you who have the other models and see if we can line up schedules. What an awesome community you have here!
