“RASCAL 2” is a beautiful old Savage Bluefin 7.5m fibreglass ½ cabin fibreglass boat which was built by the renowned boat builders Savage Marine in Victoria (1980).

But dont let its age put you off, its solid as a rock
The outboard engine is fitted to an aluminium pod which provides uninterrupted deck space on board.

This is the perfect vessel for those long weekends away bluewater fishing platform for the family for a weekend away.
This is a beautiful solid boat that just eats up the miles in all kinds of weather. Anyone who has been onboard remarks how smooth it is compared to aluminium boats
Beats any aluminium hull hands down
Its perfect for those long trips to the Tiwi’s, Peron Islands or just a day run around the harbour with the family

I’ve spent a bit of time on this boat. It’s a good rig for those extended trips, very comfortable and probably had more fish boatside then most. Hopefully it goes to another committed angler with more stories to tell.

Done a lot of hours on this old girl and she'll serve her next Skipper well .

Only thing I found wrong with it, is in the mornings I seem to wake up with a hangover , :naughty:

I have a strict no drinking policy on it - but that is regularly broken. :lol:
I dont drink while driving but while at anchor its on like donkey kong !

Many prospects say 'geez its old' but its because its so solid that it has lasted so long. many have commented how soft the ride is compared to ally boats the same size.

Great boat, can vouch for that, pulled a few fish in on this old girl, glad you had some good use out of her Nomad.

Hopefully someone will find her and use her to her full potential, been round Bathurst a few times, goes great through the water :-)
