The Board

Here is a record of all the Javelin's which "The Board" members either own/ed, or have made comment on.
If you find a picture of one that hasn't been listed here before, feel free to post a pic. Be sure to number it correctly and show the name of the State where last seen.
One day this catalogue of Javelins could prove very interesting indeed.
Don't forget to see pages 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10,11,12,13 and 14!

Present count is:  200 individual Javelins are recorded under this heading so far. Who would have ever believed we would have this many?

I feel this boat could be Javelin No21 with the motor and seats removed.
The similarities are as follows:   Gunwale missing in aft section.
                                                  The big "S" badges are missing
                                                  White vinyl on the Dash. ( I have another pic showing this)
I'll try and get a visual on this vessel to confirm either way ;D

MERCMAN.

Sometime ago I did go and inspect this boat myself. As I suspected, it was number 21.
Therefore, we will have two number 48's.

forty eight. Victoria
(48.. as the Jav above may have to be deleted owing to an entry duplication)

Here's No 49! Located In Launceston Tassie. Have just tidied up the triler and registered it and the javelin. It has a 45hp Chrysler, with coil conversion! Runs well.

(Hespie, there are two No 48 'cause one is more than likely an entry duplication. TBC)

Ha..........this IS a Jav , isn't it? Having seen so many posts about them, I'm starting to see them in my dreams, and I just happened across it on ebay.  I'm presuming that if I'm right, it hasn't already been posted, and can be added to the list. If not, please just delete the post.....

What a milestone this is. We have now catalogued photographs of 100 individual Savage Javelins built in the 1960's and a few from the early '70's.
I wish to thank all those members who have assisted me in building this important record of such a Classic Australian Runabout. Especially to Chair who has been recently posting pics on my behalf, whist I have issues with my new computer trying to post pics.

Lets see what the future brings, you never know what will be the final number will be. Keep posting.. bouys and girls!

Thanks again,

MERCMAN.

Congratulations to Mercman and Chair and all of you who have posted Javelins on this site! Who'd have thought you would reach 100?  Truly amazing and my family is honoured that you'd show such diligence and affection for a Savage boat long out of production. 

On behalf of my father Tom Savage (dec) thank you all for your efforts and again congratulations! 

Gillian Savage

Kind words Gillian, I'm honoured to have at least spoken to your amazing Father who introduced us to you.

Interior photo

On behalf of Chair (David) and all of our members, I must say:
What an amazing achievement! Who would have ever thought that we would end up collecting photographic evidence that 200 Savage Javelins were built and sold?
Enormous thanks go out to all of our members who have contributed to this list over the past years. I must also acknowledge our newest active member: True Blue, who has been beavering away in the background to add our list in these recent times. Impressive!

I must also comment on Javelin number 200. It is finished and upholstered in the colours used by Tom Savage when that hull was built. Even the 1980 model 90hp inline 6 Merc looks very smart sitting up there like jackie!

MERCMAN.   

 

I concur Mercman !
It has been an amazing accumulation of photos. It takes me back to the time we instigated a guessing comp as to how many were produced .
It was David's idea but having communicated with him years later on the subject he could not recall it .Something about red wine ;D
I pitched in with 380 having no idea whatsoever but given the numbers located and such a beautiful craft that they would have a relatively low rate of attrition my stab (hate that word )  ;)
 could be in the vicinity .
And True Blue is very impressive .How does he do it ?
And your function to check and edit duplication is equally so .
Congratulations fellow members and if it were not for this topic we would be in The Doldrums .


Neil

Hi All.
It’s been ages since I’ve logged in. Yes what an achievement to reach 200. Well done.
David (Chair)

Congratulations everyone! Over 200 Javelins is extraordinary and my family is staggered to know this.  It’s so gratifying to know that this boat is considered a valuable vintage item and that the Board has done so much to research it’s numbers and nurture it’s reputation.

Sorry I’ve been offline for a while as health and life got in the way.  All is ok now though.

You are probably aware a Facebook site re old style savage boats, but if not there a couple of Javelins on there including a stunning blue 1965 restoration.  This one puts the originals to shame!

All the best,
Gillian Savage

Hi Gillian,
Thank you so much for your kind words. Perhaps we'll have to check-out the FB page too!

For those members who don't know, Gillian is the Daughter of the creator of the Savage Javelin, Mr Tom Savage.

On behalf of David (Chair) and our members, we thank you for your feed back and input. I bet your Dad is grinning right now. It is our aim to continue to grow this list to, who knows where?


Best regards from all of us,

MERCMAN.

Thank you MERCMAN. It has been great to have contributed to this list and to have been a part of something that has grown through the efforts of our members over a number of years. Thank you also Gillian for your kind words.

True Blue (Julian)

201.

Rear view.

This No 201 is actually No 5, restored to a different colour, removable hardtop added. Now has the original motor.
After 50+ years the Jav is still a good looking, versatile boat that gets more than its share of favourable comments at the ramp or on the road.  
I remain impressed with its quality build – or have I been lucky?

No 201.

Have numbered this one as No. 201 as the previous boat had already appeared in the list. Thanks Slowpoke for the heads up.
