2012 Ranger Tugs R-29

The 2012 Ranger Tugs R-29, known as 'Point Aft’R', stands as a testament to the brand's commitment to crafting compact yet capable trawlers. Ranger Tugs has carved a niche in the boating community for producing trailerable trawlers that blend classic aesthetics with modern amenities. The R-29 is particularly revered for its versatility and comfort, making it an appealing choice for those seeking extended cruising capabilities without the complexity of larger yachts. This 29-foot vessel is powered by a freshly rebuilt 260 HP Yanmar 6BY2 diesel engine, ensuring both reliability and efficiency for long-range cruising. With a fuel capacity of 150 gallons, it is well-suited for ventures like the Great Loop or coastal cruising. The R-29's semi-displacement hull provides a stable and smooth ride, ideal for moderate sea conditions. Inside, the boat offers a well-appointed interior, prioritizing comfort and usability, though it does have a narrower beam which limits interior space. This vessel is perfect for experienced boaters looking to downsize, or newcomers seeking a manageable, trailerable option. However, potential buyers should be aware of some common issues, such as occasional electrical glitches and minor gelcoat cracking. Located in Cornelius, North Carolina, 'Point Aft’R' is ready to show and comes with a transferable slip on Lake Norman. At $184,000, this Ranger Tugs R-29 offers a compelling package for those seeking adventure on the water.

El Ranger Tugs R-29 es una embarcación compacta pero bien equipada, ideal para aquellos que buscan un trawler con todas las comodidades necesarias para cruceros costeros. Su construcción sólida y el uso eficiente del espacio interior son características destacadas. El motor Yanmar recientemente reconstruido es un gran punto a favor, asegurando un rendimiento confiable. Sin embargo, los compradores deben estar conscientes de la velocidad máxima limitada y el espacio de almacenamiento reducido, lo que puede no ser ideal para viajes muy largos. La embarcación es fácil de maniobrar, lo que la hace adecuada para navegantes novatos o aquellos que buscan un primer barco. Recomendaría una inspección detallada del sistema eléctrico y los acabados interiores, dado que estos son puntos de desgaste común. En general, el R-29 ofrece un buen valor por su precio, especialmente para quienes priorizan la eficiencia y el diseño clásico.
