Check this out. At about 2:24 she's over half out of the water. Nice ride!

Lovely video

But Marc from Wefing's when have you taken it easy on a boat.

HMMM - Let's see you insisted in taking me on a demo ride with a tropical storm over lovely Apalachicola
something about showing me how the boat could take 3-5+ seas after all it was designed in the PNW. so out we went into the GULF and we "were the only BOAT out" --
boy have I learned that phrase....
I have never been on a Ranger in the PNW but maybe in two weeks when I'm in Seattle I'll see one out and about.

Special Little Cute Boats 😎
 
Nice video (especially the views from the helicopter)... had to be Florida, 'cause the guy on the flybridge was in short sleeves! 😎
 
Great clip, indeed.

We boat in Georgian Bay, Ontario. Don't have the rolling style of waves seen in this video. Our waves are more 'square' at the top - they rise up, but are definitely square or pointed when the lake is sloppy.

How would the 25 or 31 handle Great Lakes boating?
 
The short sleeved man in the video is the President of Ranger Tugs. 😀 Look real hard into the sliding helm door and you will find your Ranger Tug Customer Service Manager. Where are you hiding Marc? Maybe in one of those extremely large cockpit hatches? I have had some say they would sleep in there........ :lol:
 
Andrew,
I am glad you told me someone else was in the video, you're are the only one I saw 🙂
