[cashbrain]

Just an update? I have read references,but, does anyone have info?
Great boats

[hotjava66]

called them today and they are still answering the phone

[rschap1]

I drive by there on my way to and from work each day. I have not seen much activity lately, but it has always been like that from the highway. Midwest Pools and Spas had some displays up until a few weeks ago. I think that they were renting floorspace at the facility or something like that I heard. GLAD to hear the phone are in working order atleast. Always thought that they made some sweet rigs!

[cashbrain]

Glad to hear...I met them at the COPS Michigan party when we announced Chief.Very nice guys...
I'm sure it is hard for them as well as all boat manufacturers now with the economy

Welcome! The Sabers are some beautiful boats.

[rschap1]

I have always been curious as to how Apaches hold so much value and folks toss the HUGE $$$ into fixing and restoring older ones, why not p/u a Saber from the original molds? Or is there a serious flaw in my perception or thinking?? And I do not mean to question why the restorations of the older Apaches, just why not spend the $ on a brand new rig? THANKS AGAIN

Thanks. Took a bunch that day.

[Offshore Ginger]

Adam nice pic for some reason the pic makes the boat look bigger .

[stormrider]

Last shot of that OB really shows how nice the lines are of this boat.

Anyone know how competitive the pricing would be for Saber to build a 28?
