2026 Ranger Tugs R-23

The 2026 Ranger Tugs R-23 is a 23-foot fiberglass pilothouse with classic tug-inspired styling and modern functionality. Its curved windshield, four overhead skylights, sliding side windows, and opening glass bulkhead flood the cabin with natural light and panoramic views. The walk-in helm sits open and airy, with a bolstered seat positioned behind a 9-inch Garmin chartplotter featuring GPS and sonar, full engine instrumentation, USB ports, and dual drink holders. Dual wipers and opening glass bulkhead enhance visibility and the connection between cockpit and cabin.

Below deck, the layout includes a forward stateroom with teak-side table that converts to a berth, a mid-level berth, and a convertible dinette for a third sleeping option. The galley is equipped with a refrigerator, cooktop, microwave, and sink. A private head with shower, LED lighting throughout, multi-zone stereo, and abundant storage complete the accommodations. The hull is well-insulated with bonded electrical systems designed for quiet operation.

The boat is powered by a single 200 hp Yamaha F200 outboard with electronic single-lever shift and throttle. Electric trim tabs and Laminar Flow Interrupters aid handling and control. An optional bow thruster is available for added maneuvering capability. The 8.5-foot beam keeps the hull trailerable despite its comfortable interior, balancing large-boat ease with nimble control.

The cockpit features rod holders, a folding double seat, sport racks, a swim step, stainless ladder, and a soft-top cover. The design prioritizes both cruising practicality and day-boating enjoyment for local waters and overnight adventures.
