Savage releases Raptor range
The ideal Aussie tinny is here with the new range from SavageSavage has launched a range of good, honest and affordable Aussie tinnies called the Raptor range that are ready to take you and your family on your next adventure.
After retiring the Jabiru range, Savage has filled the gap for budget-friendly tinnies by releasing the Raptors with 355, 395 and 425 models.
The Raptors come standard with features including a glove box, drink holders, transom handles and plenty of storage, and they're perfect to take on camping or fishing trips.
Raptors can be easily towed behind a family car – even a small one – and could even fit on top of most utes and 4x4 wagons.
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.
At the launch of the new range on the Gold Coast this week, 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," said Draeger.
"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, rod holders and carpeted floor," he added.
Pricing for the Raptors starts at around $6650 for a 355 with a 15hp Evinrude and a gal trailer, while a 395 with a 30hp on an aluminium trailer with rego and safety gear will cost around $11,400.
RAPTOR PRO
However, if you want more fishing features, the Raptor Pro may be the answer.
The Raptor Pro range includes 405, 425 and 445 models and replaces the Jabiru Pro range offering budget-conscious boaties a serious fishing machine.
The Raptor Pro range features front and rear carpeted casting platforms and two rod holders as standard.
As we found out on the Gold Coast, the Raptor Pros ride soft and dry on the water as the wide beam forward deflects spray and that beam and the chines result in good stability at rest and underway.
The open layout allows for plenty of deck space and storage and allows for easy movement around the boat.
Jason Draeger said the Raptor Pro range is perfect for any fisherman at any level.
"The Raptor Pro range offers keen fishermen all the features they need at the right price.
"The Raptor Pros come with everything needed for a day out fishing but can be optioned up to suit your exact need and budget with extras such as: live-bait tank, rod storage pockets, casting platform storage bins and customisable vinyl wrap," Draeger said.
