Savage Raptors are affordable fishing tinnies

Getting afloat need not cost the earth, as the new Savage Raptor range proves in three different ways.

After retiring the Jabiru range, Savage has filled the gap for budget-friendly tinnies by releasing the Raptor range in 355, 395 and 425 models.

The beauty of these three boats in the Raptor range is that they are all full of useful features, at the right size, and the right price.

With standard features including a glove box, drink holders, transom handles and plenty of storage, the Raptors are perfect for taking on that camping, crabbing, fishing and family trip.

The Raptors can be easily towed behind a family car and will also fit nicely atop most utes for added adventure when hitting the road.

With front and rear seats, the Raptors can comfortably fit up to four people so your mates or family can join you on the next adventure.

Savage National Account Manager Jason Draeger said the models and options available in the Raptor range means there is a boat to suit any backyard or budget.

"We have developed the Raptor range to offer customers affordable and reliable no-fuss tinnies.

"The Raptors can be used for fishing, as a tender,  or for taking the family on fun adventures.

"While the boats have all the basics covered you can still option up and add a few more specialised features like bimini and envelope, rod holders and carpeted floor," Jason said.

We recently performed a detailed test of the Savage 395 Raptor with a 30hp Evinrude E-TEC DFI two-stroke outboard on the Gold Coast and came away, well, wrapped.

Not breaking new ground, but the new vee-nosed Savage tinnies do keep boating affordable, functional and fun.
