Anyone care to give a ball park figure of a 28 foot saber? Twin big blocks, bravos, and probably a 1994 or 1995. Also how much would a dual axle trailer for the boat weigh.
Im thinking of getting serious about one but need to make a decision on a proper tow vehicle.
Thanks!

you would need a 3/4 ton at least. i had a 28 AT that i pulled with a 1/2 ton and it did not do the job well at all.

01-08-2010 10:40 AM28 Saber w/ twin BB bravo about 6300 lb. dry
w/ full fuel (130 gal.) and gear add 1500 lb. = 7800 lb.
add about 1500 lb. for trailer = 9300 lb.
Quality of the trailer makes a big difference for towing.
You can't go wrong with a 28 Saber.
