Recommendations for new R 27 owner

[NewTuggerNY]

I'm in the process of purchasing a 2026 R 27 with twin 150's. We are a family of three with a 1 year old living in Central NY and will slip the boat on Oneida Lake in Brewerton, on the canal system. We have had a Rinker 320 FV in the past but are currently moving up from a Crownline E285 XS. I'm interested in getting recommendations from experienced owners on any particular equipment you'd recommend, particularly if you have any experience using/installing starlink. Thanks in advance!

Check out my YouTube channel. Search for Starlink, we have several videos. As well top things for your boat, and many other videos.

Our website has a ton of information all about the R27 also.

I’ve got a mini with the Peakdo V2 battery and the Veritas Vans case with suction cups.

Haven’t used the suction cups yet but I plan on putting it on the cover of the electric grill while not underway - although they’re meant to drive down the highway on the top of your car so theoretically should be fine underway too.

This set up should provide cordless internet for 4ish hours between recharging the battery (which requires a 100w USB-C).

Here's two videos where I talk more about Starlink specifically. 🙂
