I guess you haven't skippered many 27-foot+ cruisers. 7GPH is VERY fuel efficient.

@@seikibrian8641 True.

@@thewatchman6074 I just pulled up the specs for the classic R-27 shown here, as well as the new outboard-powered R-27OB. The classic R-27 actually got better fuel economy in testing than Dave stated here: he said 14 to 15 knots at 7GPH, and in the test it was getting 15.5 knots at 3600RPM, and burning 6.3 gallons per hour. The new R-27OB was only getting 10 knots at the closest comparable of 6.6GPH. (The R-27OB was getting an insignificantly better 16 knots at 4000RPM, but burning 11.8 gallons per hour to do it.) Of course that's sort of an apples to oranges comparison, because the R-27 had a top speed of 20.6 knots at WOT (4200RPM/8.7GPH), whereas the R-27OB had a top speed of 37 knots at WOT (5900RPM/26.5GPH). If the classic R-27 was anything like my brother's classic R-29, you wouldn't want to run it at top speed for more than 15 or 20 minutes because it would over heat, but at a fast cruise of 19 knots at 4000RPM it was burning 7.9GPH, which is pretty darned good, and if you slowed down to a displacement speed of 7 knots you'd only burn 1.8GPH and would have a range of over 380 nautical miles (no reserve) on a full tank (100 gallons).

Hello Jeffrey, If you email our sales manager Dave, he will get you in touch with our sales personnel in the USA. Thank you! His email address is dave@portboathouse.com.

When you add up all the items that Ranger Tugs include as standard, and compare the true price to similar boats from other manufacturers, the $114,937 price (as of June, 2020) is actually quite competitive.

L Irene Richards Get a used one. However, they are pricey if bought new as compared to Bayliner, Carver , silvertons.

As of September 3, 2019 it's $114,937 American dollars. A year ago it was $109, 937. It'll be a while before it hits $150,000.

Anyone who's not smart enough to pay attention to where he's putting his hands has no business being on a boat.

You can't trailer it

I want it in my driveway, is this asking too much?

@@BubbaBen01 "You can't trailer it" Oh really? Then why are the mast, rails, and helm designed to fold down? And why does the factory offer an "Aluminum triple axle trailer, electric hydraulic brakes, spare tire and mount -- $15,600.00" as an option. And why has my brother trailered his R-29, the predecessor of the R-31? See: ua-cam.com/video/wB75gG3ugUU/v-deo.html

@@seikibrian8641 the 29 has an 8 ft beam. This 31 has a 10 ft beam. And while it is trailerable, you will need to familiarize yourself with oversized load laws in whatever state you are trailering in. In some states you may be able to get an "annual permit". In many states you will have to apply for a permit each trip. That is for any load you haul on public roads over 102 inches, or 8'6". If you leave it in the water all season and only trailer it home once and to the marina once, trip permits may not be an issue. It would only be 40 or so bucks a year, depending on the states oversized load fees. But a permit fee every trip would get old. And the fines for not having proper oversized load permits can run into the hundreds, if not thousands of bucks, depending on what state you got ticketed in. While this boat may technically be trailerable, it may not be practical for most people. One last point. In the video, it said the command bridge folded to 14ft. In many states, loads over 13'6" inches may require a flag car with a highpole running in front of the tall load to ensure it doesn't hit a bridge or other overhead obstruction. Other states, your permit will dictate your routing. Get caught off route, more huge fines. Edit: I stand corrected by SuckiBrian. The 29, like his more successful, smarter, and likely more polite brother has has a 10ft beam. I don't see how that negates my points about potential issues with oversized loads. But Brian has to be right. So I now to his expertise. Lol
