Free Download: 6 Years of Real Ranger Tug Ownership Data

If you've ever tried to figure out what a Ranger Tug actually costs to own — not what the brochure says, not what the dealer estimates — you know how hard it is to find real numbers.

We've been keeping them since June 2020.

Every dollar spent on fuel, moorage, insurance, maintenance, and upgrades on our 2021 Ranger Tug R27 Outboard is documented. Six years. 12,949 statute miles. One boat. Real numbers.

We've put it all into a free one-page guide and we're making it available to anyone who wants it.

What's inside:

• Annual fuel costs broken down by year (including our 2023 SE Alaska expedition — 2,600 miles, $12,000 in fuel)

• Moorage costs year over year

• Insurance, maintenance, and upgrade spending — what we actually paid, not estimates

• The real cost difference between our worst year and our best year on the water

This is the kind of data serious buyers need before making a $150K–$400K decision. And it's the kind of data existing owners use to plan and budget.

It's completely free. No catch.

We're also building out a subscriber resource library — fuel logs, propeller performance comparisons, Alaska expedition guides, engine maintenance data — that we share exclusively with our email list. The ownership guide gets you in the door.

We send updates once or twice a month — new videos, new data, Alaska expedition updates. No spam, no sponsor blasts. Just real information for serious boaters.

Hope to see you out there on the water.
