Ranger 29 or 31 near Naples Florida?

Hello - we live on Marco Island and hope to be rid of our Hatteras 53' soon. Considering a R29 or R31 as will fit on our lift. I was hoping that there was a kind Tugnut or two who might let us have a look at a boat in person. Thanks!

We are in Palmetto, you are welcome to visit us to see our R31.

We live in Punta Gorda and have a R29.

Thanks very much -

Just faxed off the closing paperwork on the Hatteras

Remind me, where is Palmetto?

How do you like the 31? Pros cons after owning it?

Thanks! Dave

Dave, sorry for the delay, just saw your questions…

Palmetto is between Tampa and Sarasota. We are at Riveria Dunes Marina.

Still love our 31. Love the command bridge, and overall efficiency. Cons: Single engine makes backing into our slip a challenge when there is wind. It’s compact. We would love a more comfortable lounging area.

Hi Joe -

It would be great to come visit at your convenience. My wife, Shelly, handles all the scheduling arrangements and her number is 417-840-8808. If you're comfortable sharing your number and last name, we can put you in as contacts instead of screening the call. We silence most calls we don't recognize with all the scams out there.

Any other downsides to the boat? Our Hatteras had a huge saloon in which we had a couple comfy recliners that came from our Seahorse 52 Trawler. Thanks!

R31 versus R29: The 31 gives you more room in the cockpit and the cabin space is basically similar. The 31 also gives you a helm door, which is nearly a deal breaker for us (we need to go through locks and having that access for the captain is very important).
