Ranger Tug Kismet

RANGER TUG R29 – This tug, with a sportier look than our previous R27 and a Volvo Penta diesel engine, will take us to some exciting cruising destinations with a quieter, more stable ride. As a trailerable trawler, the new tug will be just a little bit bigger, but still trailerable. Looking forward to a little more room to accommodate our growing family. One of our new goals is to share our love of boating with our grandchildren for many years to come.

Have a question about long-distance cruising, the Great Loop boat trip, Ranger Tugs,
or any trailerable trawlers? Leave a comment or email us, and we’ll get right back to you.

Kismet Has Cruised Many Waterways, Here are Just a Few…

Lake Powell – Canyon Cruising on Kismet in the “Otherworld” of Boating

The Favors share an unbridled passion for boating. “After spending five years as long-distance cruisers, completing the Great Loop boat trip almost twice in two different 40′ boats, we decided to change the way we boat. We wanted to expand our cruising horizons in the United States and Canada, both so rich in spectacular waterways and historic events. We sold our 40-foot Fathom trawler to buy a Ranger Tug R27, a trailerable trawler.

We’re excited and invigorated to learn and share the interesting things we discover while towing our boat all over the United States and Canada. Kismet is used as a “Boaterhome” while traveling between cruising destinations. We stay at RV parks across the country using Kismet as a recreational vehicle while on the road. We believe trailerable trawling is the wave of the future in boating. It’s a great way to see our great country and neighboring Canada”– Jim and Lisa Favors

Jim and Lisa Favors have served on America’s Great Loop Cruisers’ Association (AGLCA) Advisory Board. Both wrote for Boat US Cruising Logs for over five years and Jim is a past contributing editor for Waterway Guides. the Favors have published two boating books, When the Water Calls, We Follow  (27 Loopers tell their tales about their experiences), and Women On Board Cruising (25 women, long-distance cruisers share their thoughts about this amazing lifestyle). They recently began a series on trailerable boating and boaterhoming, Upside of Downsizing to a Trailerable Trawler, is the first edition in this series.
