The seawards a great boat, but no more casually beaching that sucker. If your aground in two feet of water with a boat to big or heavy to get off , your still stuck. You can just walk around while you wait for a tow, unlike bring aground in a deeper draft boat.

I know they're not sailboats, but there is something about the Ranger Tug Boats that capture my attention

My next boat will likely be a Seaward 32RK, but honestly, my kids like tubing, piddling around, etc. They don't really care what they do it in - as long as they and their friends can do it. And for the, the :macx: / :macm: is supreme. :D

I like those tugs. They look pricy but for a pure small motor boat they look ok.
The thing they appeals to me about the rk is not the size but the quality build. I don't care for the electrically raised keels but that's the price of performance. The RK also won't fit in my yard :D
