Good Morning Tugnuts! On behalf of all of us at Ranger Tugs, Welcome! We are excited to have a direct link to our Ranger Tug owners and enthusiasts! This is a place where we can all feel comfortable talking about the boats that we love, Ranger Tugs! We wanted to create a FUN site where information and experiences flowed easily among Ranger Tug owners and enthusiasts. A site where the factory is a click of a mouse button away with that technical question or concern. I want to take a minute to thank Bill Giese for all of his hard work that made this site possible. I would also like to thank Bruce Moore for his creativity on the Tugnuts logo and header. We also have several dealers and Ranger Tug owners that have volunteered to help with site administration. Thank you! This just shows the kind of enthusiasm that so many people have for our boats!

Thanks again,

Jeff Messmer
 
And hello to you.
 
Woof! Woof!

This is great. Thanks Jeff and to DaNag. Hope to own a Ranger Tug someday. See you at the Seattle Boat Show.
 
I definitely like the Ranger Tugs & there is a chance my next boat purchase my be a Ranger Tug. Therefore, I'd like to follow the threads on this new site to continue my research in Ranger ownership possibilities. I like the shot of Yogi. I followed Jeff's Ranger postings on C-Brats and became more enthused about Ranger possibilities. Good Luck with the new site.
 
Congrats to Jeff and Ranger Tugs for implementing this site. It is great to see manufacturer involvement with the owners. While we do not have a Ranger Tug, we did buy our C-Dory 25 from Jeff... at the Seattle Boat Show the year the R-25 was announced. We have been following the evolution of the Ranger tugs since that time. Best wishes for continued success to the folks at Ranger and happy boating to you tug owners.

Best wishes,
Jim B.
 
Great Idea Jeff and DaNag! I don't own one (yet) either but who knows! Jeff came to our first Chesapeake Bay Gathering when he was still with Ranger and I'll always remember that. Andrew does a great job answering questions about both C-Dorys and Rangers on the Brats site.

Now I've got two sites to check! 😀

Of course, I meant when Jeff was still with C-Dory!

That's a good lookin' dog with odd taste in food, but shouldn't someone post a picture of a Ranger Tug? 😉

Greetings from Las Vegas NV.

Boatless at this time but the boss thinks highly of the R25 as she was allowed to board one earlier when we were on the Eastern Shore of MD. She endorsed placing a vessel in the Gratitude Yachting charter fleet then the reality of the collapse of the financial system set in so plan is delayed somewhat.

Finally, I was the Ranger 20 sailboat dealer in Indianapolis from 1977 to 1980 (most of mine were built in Utah) so love the name Ranger and the connection to my youth.

First of all, great looking site and concept. We're wannabe's in that we're halfway (in terms of savings) from buying our new/nearly new Ranger Tug.

Until then, I'm going to enjoy this site along with the C-Brats.

First question of the day. Jeff....when are we TugNuts going to lay eyes on the R-29? Let's see the floorplan. We'll be kind!! And honest....

Congratulations to Jeff and Ranger Tugs on the start of this website. We saw our first Ranger Tug last year at the Seattle Boat Show and fell in love with it....... now to just save up the coin !!!

Thanks to Jeff and all for starting this site. We are the proud owners of "Ainokea", a R-25- hull #76. She resides in Deland, Fl. on the St. John's river. We took delivery in Sept. 08 and have enjoyed her immensely .

Thank you Ranger Tugs for this web site! Yet another example of the great customer service you provide. Looking forward to sharing our experiences with the site and learning as much as we can about our tug.

Ranger Jeff & Team Ranger

When you make a commitment to Customer Service there is no stopping you. Not only are you constantly trying to improve on the design of the Ranger Tug line you are constantly trying to up the bar on your customer service. I am one of those very pleased customers who tell the Ranger story every time I get a chance. Any who are in business ought to steal a page from your play book. No better time to up customer service than during an economic recession. No wonder you guys continue to produce boats when others have closed their doors.

Congratulations on a great product and even better Team.

Thanks Jeff, Bill, and all others that have made this possible. Being an avid user of the C-Brats site (about 5 checks per day), I am looking forward to use of this site. There have been so many very usefull hints on the C-Brats that I feel years ahead of what would have been picked up by experience only. I am looking forward to the same gain about my use of my Ranger Tug. Just saw a Ranger 25 tug pass my new home on the Tennessee River. Hope to locate him if from this area.
Thanks again and Good Tuggin to all. Ron Of "LIL TOOT"
 
So glad to see this community have a place of its own, and so grateful to C-Brats for letting me hang out and learn. I look forward to being part of both. Thanks, Jeff, for going for it.
