Subject: Price increases for R23 and R27-OB

Just noticed on the RT web page that both the R23 and R27-OB models have increased by $10,000. I was expecting this this past Jan, but now it has happened. Not unexpected, right.

I'm wondering when the new R41 will show on the web site. Curious about the cost and availability. Went from a R25sc to a R31CB figure in a couple of years i'll have a bad case of 10 footitis and be looking seriously at the 41.

Speaking of the 41--- when will it be available to see in a boat show?

Looks like ONLY a $5,000 increase to me, not $10,000 ???

I paid the $184,937 (options and taxes were extra) for my R27-OB Northwest Edition in May 2017.

You're right, only $5,000 for the R23. Our 2018 R23 bought at the boats afloat show last September 2017 was definitely $5k less.

...and it was likely $5,000 less again back at start of 2016. That makes it today a $10,000 increase since Jan 2016.

And the practically every 6 month (or less) introduction of a new Ranger Tug or Cutwater model or discontinuance of a model has come to an end. Changing market demand or just a lull?

I would expect they would go up at least 3-4% annually just to cover increased labor and material costs so sounds about right or just a little on the high side. Demand is also a factor and given the back log of production they can justify the increase. Bought ours at the Miami boat show so got a "boat show" special which worked out nice price wise and also did not have to wait for production. Was just like the one we wanted order both in color and amenities.
No doubt they will go up again next year as well.
