I have a 3/4 ton truck. You need something that can handle 10,000 lbs. Some 1/2 tons are rated for that, but tongue weight and braking can be an issue with them. My truck has a diesel engine...

I don't care for the Cutwater. Don't think the styling is anything "special" and don't think it will age well. A tug style has a certain timeless appeal that has a distinct community and...

Yes, I looked at those too. Very nice boats, but they are not very roomy inside and built more for speed.

I was wanting more of a cruiser with a low operating cost and longer range. Basically, a...

The boat in the picture is a very nice vessel, but as far as boats go, that is in a size class above the Ranger Tugs. One like in this pic is in the $350-$450k range.

Yep, it's 2 house batteries, 1 thruster and 1 engine. You have switches to do some combining.

Good eye, Bob!

The NovaKool refrigerator is the exact same model. It just doesn't have the stainless trim panel. Probably because it's in a location that it could be easily dented.

Well, not all are the same. Brunswick owns Bayliner. Not exactly a stellar reputation in the boating world. Built to a price. They have some better products, like Meridian, but the difference may...
