2021 Ranger Tug R-25 "NW" Edition – Turn-Key, Exceptionally Maintained – $139,000

List Price: $134,900

This 2021 Ranger Tug R-25 "NW" Edition is an exceptionally well-cared-for example of one of Ranger Tugs' most popular and versatile cruising models. With just 210 hours on its Yamaha F250 four-stroke outboard, two-owner history, and significant recent maintenance and upgrades, this R-25 is turn-key and ready for its next owner to start cruising immediately.

Pride of ownership is evident throughout this boat. Rather than simply maintaining it, its owners have continued to invest in keeping it looking great, mechanically current, and comfortable for extended cruising. Within the last year alone, nearly $14,500 has been invested in professional detailing, ceramic coating, scheduled engine service, custom canvas, underwater lighting, and upgraded sleeping accommodations.

Most recently, the boat received a full professional detail and ceramic coating in May 2026 at a cost of $4,406, giving the exterior an outstanding appearance while adding an additional layer of protection to the finish. The Yamaha received its comprehensive 200-hour service in December 2025 at a cost of $2,503, meaning one of the major scheduled maintenance milestones has already been completed for the next owner.

For Northwest cruising, a custom King Marine Canvas full cockpit enclosure was added in August 2025 at a cost of $5,396. The enclosure dramatically increases the usable living space aboard and makes the cockpit substantially more comfortable during cool evenings, shoulder-season cruising, and less-than-perfect Pacific Northwest weather.

Additional recent improvements include new underwater lighting and a custom 4-inch latex mattress topper with matching custom sheet set, making overnight stays even more comfortable.

With these thoughtful upgrades and recent maintenance, this is a boat that presents exceptionally well while offering valuable additions beyond the original equipment.

Currently moored in saltwater at Winslow Wharf Marina on Bainbridge Island, this R-25 is equipped with bottom paint and is ready to cruise and enjoy immediately.

Condition & Ownership

This R-25 has had only two owners, and the level of care it has received is immediately apparent. The combination of low engine hours, recent scheduled Yamaha service, ceramic coating, custom canvas, bottom paint, and numerous comfort upgrades means the next owner isn't stepping into a boat with a long list of projects waiting to be completed.

Instead, this is a boat you can buy and start enjoying.

The R-25 is an outstanding platform for exploring Puget Sound, the San Juan Islands, Gulf Islands, and beyond. Its manageable size makes it approachable for a couple while still providing the accommodations, storage, tankage, and equipment necessary for genuine multi-day cruising.

Another major advantage of the R-25 is its 8'6" beam, giving owners considerably more flexibility for transportation and storage than many comparable cruising boats.

Why This R-25 Stands Out

There are plenty of used boats on the market where the next owner needs to immediately budget for deferred maintenance, detailing, engine service, canvas work, or other improvements.

This isn't one of them.

Between the completed Yamaha 200-hour service, professional ceramic coating, custom King Marine Canvas enclosure, new underwater lights, upgraded bedding, and bottom paint, much of the expensive work buyers commonly encounter after purchasing a used boat has already been addressed.

With only 210 engine hours, approximately $14,500 in recent documented maintenance and upgrades, two-owner history, and an asking price of $134,900, this R-25 represents an excellent opportunity for someone looking for a well-sorted, turn-key Ranger Tug.

The combination of an enclosed pilothouse, economical Yamaha outboard power, bow thruster, manageable 8'6" beam, comfortable overnight accommodations, and impressive tankage makes the R-25 exceptionally well suited to cruising the Pacific Northwest.

Summer cruising season is here. Skip the projects, load your gear aboard, and start exploring Puget Sound, the San Juan Islands, Gulf Islands, and beyond.
