safely back to the cockpit. The flat side
decks have a raised edge to give secure
footing. The cabin roof is useful for
many things, including mounting the
radar, antennae, and the optional solar
panel. People often carry canoes and
kayaks up there as well. There is even
a little mock smokestack - a nod to
real tugboats.

Most people will step on board at
the swim platform or into the cockpit.
There is a reasonable amount of space
to stand there while swimming or fishing, and you enter the cockpit through
a starboard side gate in the transom.
The swim platform also has a boarding
ladder under a cover and the test boat
had the optional stern rails to protect

people from falling close to the outboard engines.
The cockpit is a prime living area on
board and it has rails around the
perimeter and padded inwales so you
can lean on the sides. A comfortable

The non-slip finished floor is fiberglass
in three sections, each opening for
access to storage and the centre section can manage really large items like
folding bikes. A canvas sunshade
makes the area more comfortable and
wards off rain.
It also includes stereo speakers,
footlights, and the test boat had the
LED underwater lighting on the tabs. A
great idea.
INTERIOR FEATURES
The cabin is accessed through a centre
door and on the port side in the cabin is
the dinette. Here's where Ranger's
designers start to really step out with
'Swiss Army Knife' features. The aft
bulkhead is glass on the port side and it
can swing up to open. Then, the aft
