A highly versatile and well-equipped 2010 Ranger Tugs R-25, powered by the desirable Yanmar 4BY2 150 HP diesel with only approximately 670 hours.
The Ranger R-25 has earned an excellent reputation as a capable, economical Pacific Northwest cruiser, offering surprising interior space and cruising amenities in a manageable package. Whether exploring the Gulf Islands, cruising Desolation Sound, fishing the coast, or enjoying extended weekends aboard, the R-25 provides an excellent combination of comfort, efficiency and practicality.
This vessel is particularly attractive because of its low-hour Yanmar diesel, bow and stern thrusters, 9.9 HP kicker with remote steering, tender package and an exceptionally valuable 2022 Roadrunner trailer valued at approximately $15,000.

THE RANGER TUGS R-25
The Ranger R-25 was designed with Pacific Northwest boating in mind. Its enclosed pilothouse provides excellent protection from the elements while large windows offer outstanding visibility and natural light.
Despite its manageable size, the R-25 provides the features normally associated with considerably larger cruising boats. Its practical interior arrangement makes it equally suitable for day boating, fishing, weekend trips or extended coastal cruising.
The economical Yanmar diesel is particularly well suited to owners who want to spend their time cruising rather than continually visiting the fuel dock.
With only approximately 683 hours, this R-25 represents an opportunity to acquire a proven compact cruiser with exceptionally low engine use for its age.
WHY THIS R-25 STANDS OUT
Finding an older Ranger R-25 with this combination of equipment is becoming increasingly difficult.
The low-hour 150 HP Yanmar diesel, bow and stern thrusters, remote-steering kicker, tender with electric motor, downrigger mounts, new zincs and especially the 2022 Roadrunner trailer create a very complete Pacific Northwest cruising and fishing package.
For someone looking for a trailerable diesel cruiser that is easy to handle, economical to operate and capable of exploring the BC coast, this Ranger Tugs R-25 deserves serious consideration.
Turn-key, versatile and ready for its next owner and cruising adventures.
