2025 Ranger Tugs R-23

This 2025 Ranger Tugs R-23 is a 28-foot express cruiser finished in Midnight Blue and built on a fiberglass hull. Powered by a Yamaha F200XD outboard with a Yamaha T9.9XPHB kicker, the boat reaches 34 knots at top speed and cruises comfortably at 26 knots. A Seakeeper RIDE 450 stabilization system significantly enhances ride quality and handling at all speeds, particularly valuable for low-speed work and trolling.

The boat comes exceptionally well equipped with air conditioning and reverse-cycle heating, a Garmin 943xsv chartplotter with integrated sonar, Garmin autopilot with remote capability, VHF radio, and illuminated compass. Additional features include Garmin xHD radar, solar panels with controller, lithium battery upgrades paired with an inverter system, and underwater lights. At the helm, the integrated electronics package supports straightforward navigation and operation.

The interior layout makes efficient use of the beam. The forward dinette converts to a sleeping berth, while a mid-berth provides additional sleeping or storage options. The dinette can also convert into a third sleeping area. The galley includes a refrigerator/freezer, cooktop, and microwave. An enclosed head with marine toilet, sink, shower, and holding tank serves the accommodations.

The cockpit is configured for both entertaining and fishing, with rod holders, downrigger capability, and folding seating. With a dry weight of approximately 6,000 pounds and shallow 19-inch draft with motor up, the R-23 remains trailerable while delivering overnight cruising capability and versatility across fishing, coastal cruising, and extended anchoring.
