Introducing Gratitude

[Boatdreamer]

Our boat dream has finally come true! After nine long years and a few detours, we finally took delivery of our new Ranger Tug 27. We christened Gratitude yesterday, and are looking forward to many new adventures. We've been following this site for well over a year and we're really excited to become part of the Ranger Tug family. We are fortunate to have a local Ranger Tug dealer in Stuart, Fl. Cal, Tommy, Dave, and Patty from Seagate Marine have been incredible to work with. We're sure we'll have many questions in the months ahead and are excited to have the opportunity to learn from this great forum.

Congratulations! You have just entered a new world of fun, adventure and learning with great support of owners and the manufacturer. We did our first long trip (2.5 months) on ILLUSIONS an R-27 last winter and passed through Stuart on our way through the St. Lucie River and we arranged a rendezvous with 8 other tugs in Ft. Myers Beach. This year we will be meeting at Palm Island Marina in Cape Haze from February 1 through the 4th. Hopefully you can make it there and meet some of your fellow tug owners and learn a few things about your new boat while enjoying the camaraderie.

Thanks to all for the warm welcome. We're happy to be part of this great community and look forward to meeting our fellow Tugnuts in the near future! Hopefully we'll be able to make the SW Florida rendevous in Februray. Today was our maiden voyage - a day trip through the St. Lucie Locks and onto the St. Lucie River. We felt like rock stars with all the stares! We know we'll have many fun filled trips on our new Ranger. Thanks again for the warm welcome.

Congratulations Tim & Donna. The R27 is a wonderful boat, well equipped and good value IMO. Customer Service is 2nd to none. The first few trip are always exciting. We still get stares at our Marina even after 3 years.
