The R-23 is a feature-packed cruiser designed for comfort, ease of use, quality and fun. You'll see the Ranger Tugs DNA in every facet of the R-23's thoughtful design. Right away you'll notice one of the most innovative features of the R-23, the large swim step and handrails that extend aft past the outboard motor. The extended swim platform presents a clear walkway, free of all engine rigging which opens a whole new world of fishing, cruising, and water-sports opportunities. This exciting area allows you to safely and easily board a dinghy, net a fish, step to or from a low dock (important for pets), and easily med-tie without fear of damaging your outboard and having to leap to the dock.
The main salon on the R-23 is light and bright making it a perfect spot to relax or entertain. The dinette seats four or converts to a bed for two. There's even a spacious quarter berth with a removable mattress that can be used to accommodate guests/kids or for expanded storage. With its full galley, meal preparation aboard the R-23 is easy and fun. An electric/alcohol stove top, refrigerator/freezer combo, microwave, and sink with hot and cold water, make preparing food a breeze. The R-23 features a private, enclosed head with sink.
The forward stateroom is private and comfortable featuring a large bed, opening hatches for airflow, reading lights, and a TV/DVD combo. Powered by the Yamaha 200 HP outboard, the R-23 is fast and efficient. The power of the 200 HP Yamaha is perfectly matched to the R-23's planning hull. The R-23 also features our patented Laminar Flow Interrupter technology providing smooth, positive cornering performance. Never get lost and enjoy monitoring your speed and performance from your state-of-the-art Garmin 9"Display XSV chartplotter with GPS, transducer, and sonar.
The easily trailerable Ranger Tugs R-23 is a fantastic boat for cruising, fishing, and fun on the water. The private head, extended swimstep, multiple sleeping areas, and full galley give you everything you need to get away from the dock and spend some serious quality time with (or without) your friends and family.
