FOR 120 years, Savage has consistently added innovation to Australian boats and today would like to introduce the Raptor Extreme, the most adventurous dinghy yet.
The Raptor Extreme offers customers a V-nose punt dinghy with increased internal freeboard thanks to higher sides and greater beam. Suited for river, creek and estuary fishing, boaties of all ages will find enjoyment out of this boat. Available in two models, 355 and 375 with 15hp and 20hp ratings respectively, the Raptor Extreme is a great choice for off-road and camping adventures.
Trailerable or a car-topper, this dinghy intends to add excitement in the most remote areas. The boat comes standard with grab rails for loading, anchor storage and a deep floor for comfort while on the water. In addition, this model has large front and rear bench seats with plenty of room in the centre for fishing and crabbing.
The Raptor family consists of the Savage Raptor, Raptor Extreme and Raptor Pro. They range from 3.5m all the way up to 4.4m and are fit for every Australian. A versatile group of dinghies from an adventurer to a workhorse, from the rainforests in northern Queensland to the lakes across Western Australia.
Savage Boats national sales manager Nick McCartney said, “Savage now has the most complete line-up of dinghies in Australia with the addition of the Raptor Extreme. This dinghy has the most volume in our car-topper line-up and is ideal for Australian adventurers. I can picture this boat in so many places, whether it be with a kid who just graduated to a full-size dinghy, or a kid at heart who can’t get enough of the water.”
The Raptor Extreme was first launched at the Melbourne International Boat Show and the new addition was well received by Victorian boaters.
