Retractable Command Bridge
A retractable flybridge with full electronic controls extends the upper helm for cruising and lowers for trailering and storage — without giving up the upstairs view.


A trailerable 31' command bridge trawler with retractable flybridge, twin-helm electronic controls and a 320 HP Volvo D4 — built for extended cruising in comfort.
The R-31 CB shares many of the features and qualities of her smaller sisterships, but notable additions make her ideal for extended cruising while remaining a trailerable trawler. The R-31 CB was the first Ranger Tug to feature a flybridge with electronic controls at both the upper and lower helm — and that flybridge retracts so the 31' can still be towed. The foredeck is equipped with seating and a raise-and-lower table for entertaining under way or at anchor. The cockpit adds wraparound seating plus fold-out gunwale seats that tuck away when not in use. Inside, two staterooms — a forward island berth with en-suite head and a midship berth with day head — pair with the familiar Ranger Tugs galley and lower helm layout. A starboard side door from the lower helm gives the crew quick access to the side decks for line handling. Standard bow and stern thrusters and a 320 HP Volvo D4 diesel inboard deliver a 16-knot cruise speed turn-key from the factory.

A 320 HP Volvo D4 diesel inboard cruises efficiently at 16 knots and delivers the range for extended passages.

Standard bow and stern thrusters with wireless remote turn close-quarters maneuvering into a one-person job, regardless of wind or current.

Electric trim tabs dial in the running attitude on the fly — efficient cruise, level decks, comfortable ride across the speed range.

A 10' beam paired with the folding stainless mast and retractable flybridge keeps the 31' road-legal and ready to chase the season.

The retractable flybridge lifts for cruising and lowers for trailering — bridge clearance drops from 18' 2" up to 10' 3" down.

A 12" Garmin navigation display with full electronic shift and throttle gives the upper helm the same authority as the lower station.

Bridge seating for six and a removable table turn the upstairs into the social high point of the boat at anchor or on a long cruise.

A proper staircase — not a ladder — connects the cockpit to the bridge, so guests of every age can come up for the view.

Bow lounge seating with a table that raises for dining and lowers for cruising opens up an entirely new entertaining space forward.

Extra cockpit seating folds out of the gunwale when you have guests, then disappears for an unencumbered cockpit when you don't.

A hard-top cockpit cover with hatches and lights keeps the aft deck usable in sun and rain alike — fishing, dining, kids, dogs, all day.

A powered engine hatch opens full engine-room access, while the transom entry door makes boarding from the swim step effortless.

A cockpit refrigerator, sink and table mean the aft deck can host the meal without anyone running below.

A private forward stateroom with island berth, memory foam mattress and en-suite head — a true owner's cabin for extended cruising.

A dedicated midship stateroom and separate day head give guests their own space — two staterooms, two heads, real privacy on board.

A five-person dinette converts into an additional berth, putting the salon to work at anchor as well as it does underway.

A fully enclosed head with electric marine toilet, holding tank and a proper shower enclosure keeps long passages and weather days comfortable.

Reverse-cycle heat and air conditioning plus four solar-reflective pilothouse hatches and a stateroom hatch pull light and air through the cabin.

Refrigerator/freezer, propane stove top and oven, microwave, wine/water cooler and a double-basin sink with pull-out rinse faucet — a real galley for real cruising.

A 16" Garmin navigation suite with GPS, sonar, xHD radar, AIS receiving, autopilot, color engine display and digital fuel flow centralizes every cruising data point at the lower helm.

A starboard sliding helm door puts the crew on the side deck in a step — quick access to the bow for line handling without leaving the wheel for long.

A Fusion multi-zone stereo, indirect cabin lighting, LED courtesy lights and TVs in salon and stateroom set the mood from sunrise to sundown.

Add the aluminum triple-axle trailer with electric/hydraulic brakes, spare tire and mount to take the R-31 CB anywhere the road and ramp will go.

An aft cockpit sun shade with sunset shade extends usable shaded deck space for long sun-soaked days at anchor.

A command-bridge bimini top adds open-air shade at the upper helm while keeping the lines clean when stowed for trailering.

Optional aft station steering with electronic controls makes docking and close-quarters maneuvering from the cockpit a one-person operation.

Optional 290 CSM hypalon inflatable RIB with Weaver davits, stand-off and winch turns the swim step into a launching pad for off-boat adventures.
