R27 without the cockpit grill?

[DFERG]

Hello
Brand new guy here with a question; I have seen a couple of R27’s with the outboard that don’t have the cockpit grill. What year/model is this?

I think the R27 is a great platform and I’m really interested but I don’t love the cockpit grill or the stove in the cabin. Is it possible to pick up an R27 without these features and still have the outboard?

Any feedback is much appreciated.

Cheers,
DFERG

OB has only been out there since 2018. Only model (package) difference relates to air conditioning and generator package. Not sure if factory allows for other special orders. Cockpit stove is easily removed (lifts right out) and area can be for storage or live well. I can’t imagine stove is also not also easily removed. Then if you sell you can provide to buyer.

Thanks Matty - that's what I thought, but the R27 I saw doesn't have the grill/compartment, it just has the rear seat and that's all.

I will have to track down the owner of the boat and find out the details.

Is it possible you saw an R25 OB instead?

 

[DFERG]

Bingo! That must be it. I didn't even think about the R25 - Thank you 😀

My 2020 Ranger 27 OB came with the electric grill. Only good with shore power. Given the propane stove and oven we decided to pull the grill out and put it in the black fitted bag. It is now in my basement at home. I have used the tank under the grill for a cooler, works great. Also have figured out how to set it up as a live well. Easy to do.

Oh Well

How did you set up the livewell?
