mitcher-t did the paint and manning marine did the trailer, both look great. boat will be at the Miami boat show booth 3391

[Ratickle]

Or before

[Hellbent]

Luv me some Saber. Looks great.

[fund razor]

I know, me too.
There are very few 28s that I would trade my 28 for. :D

It's your twin sister though.....

[rschap1]

Cool

[fund razor]

I have a higher deck and a three-angle fairing.

[Ratickle]

Is the Saber mold the original Apache 28' with deck modifications?

[jdoss]

The 28 saber is totally different from the 28 apache. beam, lifting strakes,chine, keel, deck.... the 24,28 and 34 sabers are in house design, obviously the 41 and 47 are the apaches.

28 Apache is taller, wider, and heavier. There are certainly similarities when looking at the hull side view.
Looks very different from the top. The pic in post number 7 is in no way similar to my 28.
Not just the deck and the fairing, but the entire gunwale top all the way around the cockpit.

[fund razor]

From comparing pics of mine and the one above, it also appears that the deck joint is higher on the hull side.

Thanks Jamie, some had said they were hull splashes and some had said they were the original molds. I'm not sure anyone was absolutely positive they were Saber in-house designs....


I know Mark Peters 28 was one heck of a performer!!!

[Ratickle]

We went over and looked at the boat yesterday. A good looking boat, I'll get some pics up. Nice engine package they've chosen, I think it's going to be one heck of a performer.


It was also nice to see the 41 Center Console they are working on and the 41 and 47 Apache/Saber molds.......

That's a pretty boat.

[Serious News]

Some of the Serious News Team had the pleasure of visiting Saber and reviewing the progress of the 28 heading for the Miami boat show. It is one heck of a good looking boat. Nice lines, good power, and awesome credentials.

A couple pics:

The power is coming from twin 520 Merc's. They are the very first "Blue" engine in the Mercruiser line to carry a full 2 year warranty. In the 28, it should be one heck of a headturning performance package.

Anybody have any guesses as to what kind of speed numbers they will see out of a 28 with twin 520's?

That's handy.....the Beer vendors are also outside:drool5:

[rschap1]

Is their CC based on the Apache bottom too?

Good guess. ;)

[Buoy]

I really like the looks of this boat!

[jetcruzr]

The black hull in the picture above is a hull pulled from the 41 Apache mold, that was intended to be a CC. The project has been on hold a awhile now.

[rschap1]

Thanks

[Ratickle]

Jamie emailed they made it with the boat before the storm screwed them up.

[Ratickle]

At the show quick shots.

Spent some time chatting with Doug and Jamie. They have good traffic considering the first day the show is not really open to the general public. I believe the boat is the only true 28 with twins at the show. We'll be doing some more digging. It is a sweet boat!

[Bobcat]

Nice folks, gorgeous boat.

[Blue Oval]

Nice looking boat.

[fund razor]

The picture of the 34, is that BGIII?

[Ratickle]

Yep, Bill's a Sabre believer. They are certainly a well built boat as everyone who has run alongside Clifford or Wicked Won will attest to. The 41 and the 47 are the true Apache molds. The 28 is one heck of a performer. The snot they run through at speed would put a lot bigger boats to shame.
