Was down at the boat getting it ready for a haul out tomorrow and I was surprised to find another R25 just a slip or two away from my slip. It was Elmer(sp?) and Pat, owners of a new R25 MY2008 (purchased 4 weeks ago with a full 90-day warranty on bow to stern). It was previously owned by a dealer on the East coast somewhere. Ranger Tugs did a great job in refurbishing it for Elmer and Pat, and it looked pristine with all new windows, new Polar Bear fur lining, chrome cleaned and sparkling and it was equipped with A/C along with a 5th battery. The boat really looked new to me, which speaks volumes for Ranger Tugs `refurbishing crew'. The cabin door had a pull down screen (nice touch). I caught Elmer sitting and reading through tons of manuals to better understand the boat's operation. Pat was very alert and peppered me with questions about the R25. Elmer told me he owned the R21 years ago before the company evolved into Ranger Tugs.
Meeting them was a great surprise and hopefully they will find this RT forum and join in with the various RT cruises in the making this year.
