Accidentally had this msg replied on the wrong thread
Just looked at the rangertugs.com.au site. Not sure if it is me or the site but all the images of the boats running in the water looked like they are photoshopped. For instance there is one where a tug boat is on a plane but just what seems to be a few feet awy from a shoreline. There is no way that boat can get that fast on a plane that close to a stone wall
The description for the r27 also refers to a "combination 12v or lpg stove/oven. I guess the batteries in the Australian model must have a much higher capacity to power a stove/oven.
Interesting to note is also that all dimensions are metric but the anchor rode length is still in imperial among some other length measurements.
In the gallery which shows several images of ranger tugs, picture #5 is upside down. But that makes sense since Australia is on the lower half of the planets and everything is upside down right?

They do. The virtual tours on the au site are older versions. Ranger has new versions on its site. Go to Build a Boat/Models select the model of interest and then and select Virtual Tour in the list on the left.

Did you also notice that the boats going fast near shore also had the widows covered. The fake birds really add affect. :lol:
