Signature 502RF (Runabout Fisher)

LAST year Signature introduced two new boats in to the range - the 602F and the 543RF. 

Both were a resounding success in dealerships and at boat shows.  Development has continued and the company has now announced the all new 502RF.
This is a purpose built fishing boat which is equally as happy jigging  at the FAD’s west of Rottnest Island in WA as it is pulling in trout off Townsville QLD or settling in to a blustery evening in Port Phillip Bay VIC.  This is a true Australian fishing boat.

The RF series has been popular for many years due to it’s prime fishing focus with extra workspace in the deck area and a space (where the cabin would be) which is filled with storage compartments and a walk through to the bow and anchor.  The RF also features a higher set windscreen to give that extra protection from the elements.

There has been a 500RF in the Signature range previously but the 502RF is a totally redesigned boat below, above and inside the gunwale. 
The 502RF has all the Signature hallmarks with everything being perfectly positioned and there being a place for all your gear so you are not tripping over it. 

Not only that but you can get to your fishing spot quickly and without thinking you have just done three rounds in the ring with the world champ thanks to the smooth and comfortable patented SVDH (Signature Variable Deadrise Hull).

With a Signature you also get a genuine 10+2 year warranty (10 year structural, 2 year parts) where you don’t need to be super paranoid about the fine print or whether the company will still be in business in a few years.

The Signature 502RF has already gone in to production at The Haines Group’s South East Queensland factory and is available to order.
