    Words fail me. . . . .


    We will have to get together next summer. I can't believe I have never been in ANY of your awesome boats.

    As I said earlier, Great boat and wish you all the luck! Let me know if I can ever help if you decide to change the graphics and paint job... I would be more than happy to help
    The sting of poor quailty far outlasts the Joy of a cheap price...

    Parnell,
    What details can you give on the new boat? With the triple axle trailer, it must have some real size. Twins or single? Model? You and I are adding a boat at the same time, but buying at this time of year makes sense with the discounted pricing - plus you can get it like you want in time for the new year's season - right?

    Thanks Guys
    Bill Its a 1997 Saber Marine 28' with twin Merc 502mpi's It has all the goodies I like, hydraulic steering, full cabin, swim platform good trailer captains call exhaust ect Bone stock and it runs 80. It runs very nice in rough water which I have in my home port in Grand Haven, MI Lake Michigan gets a little bumpy for the donzis and I really like twins when its rough Plus it lets me make some more big boy poker runs even though its a small boy. Plus I get to teach my wife how to throttle without worrying about blowing drives or killing us.

    I can go for a summer as is if I decide. I will eventually repaint, add a few touches to the upholstry and redo the gauges and gauge layout but I have to finish my cruiser first. If I have any time or money left this spring I will do those changes then otherwise its next winters project.
    Thanks Buddy for the offer Ill let you know when I decide to start the process.

    Bill what boat did you just add?

    Wow! It sounds like it has all the good features. I also bought a 28', but it is a single engine Warlock. Here is a link to it. Congratulations! Bill

    Parnell,

    Nice looking boat, congrats. I don't know anything about Sabers, where were they built?, 80mph stock sounds pretty sweet.

    Thanks Marshall
    They are built in Grand Rapids actually They have built 22 28' boats some 24's, a 34 and they are in the middle of their 5th 41
    They are well built boats that ride nice, a bit outdated with dashs and interiors but thats easy to fix I just dont have the time to get the magnums done within the next two years with another project I have so I went this route.

    P....................."You'll never get to that magnum if you keep coming up with & putting beauties like this
    ahead of her!"
    I like it alot!..................24 degree Deep V..I suppose.....looks to be 8' beam....any special layup used on
    the saber build?........Was this a matter of being in the right place, right time -or- you always wanted one?
