New member, with questions

[batate]

Greetings, folks.

We're buying a Ranger Tug 29s. We've completed the survey and sea trials, and are awaiting a few final repairs before closing late this month. We'll take this boat on the great loop next year, leaving from Chattanooga when there's a nice weather break this winter. I have a couple of questions.

1. Is there a spare parts list/kit published somewhere to keep on board?

2. What kinds of lines for locking do people keep on board?

3. Who's using KaBoats, and what do you power them with?

4. Any other great loop wisdom is welcome.

I am sure I will think of other questions. Thanks in advance for your advice.

Are you aware of https://greatloop.org? Most of your GL questions can be answered there.
As far as i know there isn't any master list of spare parts. Ranger Tugs list of parts that they sell could be a pretty good guide. Also there is a webinar on maintaining their boats.

A great resource on You Tube are the "As the Prop Turns" videos.

Thanks to all!

I have watched every episode of as-the-prop turns. They are excellent.

The parts list is exactly what I was looking for.
