Just got her home. She is a little dated (1988) but I'll give her a nice face lift this winter. Needs new cockpit interior, gauges and throttles, carpet in the cabin and small cosmetics. Bottom paint is going to be the biggest pain in the a$$. Here are a couple pics.

About 7 years ago, when I was first dreaming about getting a Saber, I went out and sat in your boat about 100 times while Doug had it for sale at the factory.

Very cool. I must say you made a nice choice with the 34 though. I talked with Doug before I bought the boat and he gave me good info on the boat. Great guy to deal with.

Doug is definately a good guy. I hope he can be successful in continuing the Saber tradition.

Well, I can say that if he keeps building boats that are as solid as this one (20 years later) I don't think he'll have a problem.

Chris, anytime. I'll probably have the power and interior out by the end of the month. Come by before I put her back together so you can see how she was built.

I knew you would appritiate that honor !! Since you asked I will just go ahead & jack your thread with a pic. instead of starting my own here b/c it stands the risk of getting boring..

and your second post...you do know there are other sections on this site. And about starting your own thread about your project I think there is plenty of room on this thread. Maybe next year you could post a pic of the other side of the boat:rofl:

I really thought about going ahead & posting a rt. side pic. but then I suddenly realized I wouldn't have anything to do this spring when your running your boat..

I've always wondered... Is that just black paint on the bottom or is it "bottom paint"???
