all of the ranger tugs ...........
Greetings form the Gulf Coast of Florida. Wefings Marine will be at the Baypoint Expoin Panama City Florida with the full line of Ranger Tugs in the water . We will be scheduling demo appointments and we will have boat show special pricing on the entire line [including the amazing new R 31] in one of the best settings on the Florida Gulf Coast . Please let me know if you are attending by e mail or private message. This is a great opportunity to see these boats with an experienced,full service dealer and take advantage of the boat show season incentives . There is a Wyndam Resort as well as other accomodations, but with Spring Break happening you need to get a hotel fairly soon . I can help with suggestions there as well .
Maybe we should call it "Tugs Gone Wild" .

Hey this looks like worth visiting. More than a normal boat show. I noticed it includes a sort of "boating yard sale". I have heard of these before but never been to one. Are they usually worth going to? Is there some sort of online version or a list of locations that have these?
 
The Tug flotilla is heading to Panama City Beach in the AM . This is a no ticket show [free] and we will have all models 25' and up in the water . That includes the new R 31 ! Its a great venue in a beautiful area and we expect great weather . Please come by if you are in the area and we will show you the Ranger lineup .
Fri ,Sat and Sun. Demos by appointment .

Come on down Commander Bill maybe we can get Marc the Chef or his Sidekick Dominic to cook!!!

"Little Tug Boots" will be coming in from the East -- Port St Joe on Friday
 
The 4 tugs in the water and the 21 on land look amazing. We set it up so you start at the 21 and work your way through all the sizes up to the awesome new 31'. Each tug has it's own unique feature so come check them out. I'll be happy to show them to you.
 
We are Baypoint with Marc and Dom. We cruised over from Port St Joe Marina - 36 miles via the ICW. Beautiful day very light breeze temp rose to 80's. NO traffic, other than a single fisherman and his two sidekicks - Pelicans awaiting handouts.

When we pulled into Baypoint, immediately the line of Dark Blue Tugs ,21,25,27,29 and the new 31 were all there.
After fueling and being aided to our slip[ by Steve the Baypoint manager, we went to the display area. A nice stream of people were wandering in and out of the "CUTE" little tugs.

At dusk some folks from Atlanta wanted a demo on the R-31. So we went Marc,Dom Boots and the 4 folks who at the moment are "tugless" The 31 shot out into an awe inspiring sunset and out to Shell Island.

Everyone was impressed with the Ranger Flagship. It is a gorgeous boat but WAY too big for me. Marc does have "SPECIAL BOAT SHOW PRICING"

Also for the first time yesterday , I went on board and R-29 and will probably take her out today or tomorrow.

We will in just a few minutes be movinhg "Little Tug Boots" over into the line up. We have full enclosures and Marc wants up to display them and as a TUG owner hang out and answer questions.

Well, gotta go, if you are close by come on over beautiful marina and great people.
 
John, thanks for the great support and show report . We pulled the R 31 today and the R 25 SC. But before we pulled the 25 , we had to take advantage of the huge Spanish Mackerel bite going on . Dominic and I boated 13 in an hour and have a nice sack of fillets and can now from personal experience say Ranger Tugs catch fish ![I have not fished on one before] I have posted this pic to our Twitter and Facebook accounts . The show was great , I think we will offer it up as a spring gathering next year , as its a first class Marina and location . We couldn't have asked for better weather and a more accommodating staff .
