Once upon a time… well, about a year ago actually, two good mates, Grant Bagshaw and Mark Lane, decided to invest in new boats and approached Senator Boat’s Hamilton agents, Rollo’s Marine.
Rangi Vallance spent 20 odd years camping at Kairakau Beach immersed in fishing and boating. He decided early on, based on experiencing a range of boats, that he was keen on Senator.
The Davidson’s previous boat was an old fibreglass 6 metre boat with a 2 stroke motor. With a young family and plenty of adventures to be had, the time had come for an upgrade.

Having previously owned two Senators; an RC 540 and RH 620, he didn’t have to be sold on the ride and handling or the fitout and finish. “I love their boats, and they have never let me down, so I couldn’t see any reason to swap to another brand”, says Blake.
