March Photo Contest!

[Brian Dickhaut]

Tugnuts March Madness!!

We really enjoyed seeing some of the pups’ of Tugnuts last month and reading about their stories.

If you haven’t already seen the previous threads, we’re holding a monthly photo contest, where the winner will receive TWO jackets, custom embroidered with the Ranger Tugs or Cutwater Boats logo.

For this month’s theme, we thought it’d be fun to see what kind of shots you guys have of your boats underway. Whether cruising fast or slow, show us your favorite shots of your boat running! In honor of March Madness, we're giving bonus points for having your alma mater/favorite team’s gear represented while onboard!

To enter the contest, just send in a photo matching this month’s theme: Running/Cruising – (bonus points for sporting your favorite team’s gear).

Please send your photo, and a caption or comment to briandickhaut@rangertugs.com

I’ll upload the photos here to the thread as they come in!

We’ll be accepting entries until 5:00pm PST, March 25th 2019

Once the contest closes, we’ll hold a vote here at the factory and announce the winner in this thread!





A special thanks to Mark and Peggy for sending this photo of them, sporting the jackets they won in our January photo contest!

From John and Sandra M.

"Wanderer is a well equipped Ranger 21ec, here we are all outfitted for two months in the North Channel of Lake Huron! The best fresh water cruising area in the world! Top picture is Wanderer doing hull speed heading to Long Point Cove to meet up with two other Ranger Tugs!..."

"Size does not matter when you are in a well outfitted Ranger tug. Can’t wait till the ice is off and we head north again.
All the best!"
