2019 Ranger Tugs R-31 CB

Cohasset, Massachusetts

Helios is a beautiful midnight blue Ranger Tug 31 CB (Northwest Edition) with only 345 hours on the Volvo D4-300. The boat is a northwest edition, but has also had the factory air conditioning installed to make the boat very comfortable on those hot summer nights. Extremely well maintained and equipped with nearly every option offered by Ranger Tug she is ready for extended cruising. The boat is in pristine condition, has several additional desirable upgrades, and comes with a dinghy and brand new Suzuki 6hp outboard.

The R-31 Command Bridge shares many of the features and qualities of her smaller sisterships but some notable additions to this larger model make her ideal for extended cruising while still being a trailerable trawler. The R-31 CB is the first Ranger Tug to feature a flybridge equipped with electronic controls at both the upper and lower helm. The flybridge also retracts to allow for trailering the 31’. The builders at Ranger Tugs also equipped the foredeck with seating and a table that can be raised or lowered depending on whether the boat is under way or at anchor or dock for entertaining. In addition to the extra seating now available on the flybridge and foredeck the R-31 CB allows for a larger cockpit area with wraparound seating and extra seating that folds out of the gunwale. When not entertaining, seats are folded leaving the cockpit unencumbered.

The interior layout of the R-31 CB features two staterooms—one large island berth forward with en suite head and a midship berth and day head. Those who are familiar with Ranger Tugs models will recognize the galley layout and lower helm station that maximize interior space. A starboard side door provides easy access from the lower helm to the side decks so crew can get to the bow for line handling.

Like all Ranger Tugs, the R-31 CB comes essentially turnkey with standard features and equipment intended to make her owner’s experience hassle-free and allow for ease of handling and comfort under way. Standard equipment includes bow and stern thrusters, an aft steering station and a Volvo D4 300hp engine that achieves a 16 knot cruise speed
