The Rudy was introduced in 1972 as a version in fiberglass, a revamping of the Junior with the hull lengthened to 5.87m. a beam of 2.18 m. powered by a 180hp Riva engine. # 1 was built wholly in wood as a model, from # 2 it was in fiberglass but kept the cockpit sole boards in wood, from # 11 on they were in fiberglass too. Only the grab rail and the tray behind the driving seat were kept in mahogany to give an extra touch of elegance to the lines of Rudy. This was to be a very successful boat because of its versatility.

It was ideal for the family thanks to the deep cockpit and the safety of moving about on board, but it was also suitable for fishing, water skiing, and as a tender. Her gelcoat was two-tone, cream-colored for the deck and light grey for the sides. Production lasted until 1983, in the more powerful version of the Rudy Super, with orange hull sides.
