Savage's Bargain Bowrider

From the oldest name in boating comes a new breed of fibreglass bowrider -- the 175B is the newest edition to the Savage Fiberglass range and is set to impress the whole family.

With a background in professional powerboat racing, Savage fiberglass chief boat tester Cliff Antees is responsible for putting all the Savage fiberglass models through their paces.

Fitted with a 135hp 3.01MPI MerCruiser engine and a standard propeller, the 175 reaches an impressive top speed of 62km/h or 33kts at 4900rpm. At a comfortable cruising speed of 35km/h the 175B consumes 16.7 litres of fuel per hour at 3000rpm and with an 85-litre fuel tank, lucky owners will have more than five hours of non-stop fun.

Commenting on the 175B, National Account Manager Cameron Wood said: “This model is a stand-out in its class because of its real value for money and for a limited time the 175B is available with a $2000 cash back, bringing the price down to just $26,990.”

“If you’re in the market for a family bowrider you can’t look past the 175, its list of standard features is full of items that are normally optional on other brands,” said Cameron.

The 175 drives like a sports car, with its sure-footed hull it eagerly responds to throttle and confidently takes on tight corners and choppy water. The 175 also features power steering and adjustable helm, bucket seats, stainless steel pop-up side cleats, rear folding ladder and swim platform as standard.

When out on the water, the canopy provides protection from the elements while the tonneau and travel covers keep your boat in mint condition when in storage or when travelling.

Back at home, the 175 is easy to clean with removable floor carpeting, so you can shake out a day’s worth of sand or simply remove the carpet for storage.
