I picked up some 7 to 8 mph with a carb change worth 2 or 3 the rest the 2'' shortie to bring me at 5 1/2'' prop shaft. so I could have gone more put a 2'' is the biggest for our drive, also you have the ex box 3'' raised one, the complaints are gee you got to raise the motor and exhaust won't line up. well if you have stock chit exhaust spend some coin on a used set of headers or manifold headers like STAINLESSMARINE, NOW YOU GET BETTER BREATHING=3MPH AND A RAISED BOX OR SHORTIE 3 TO 8 MPH maybe more with a new prop. I got 8mph in my baja with a carb change too and a guy got 7 by just the box3'' with a new exhaust you can oeder your tails to fit so no filling exhaust holes. theres no reason why a 500 or 525hp 28 saber should not go 72 to 74 with the right height drive. my baja is about the same size but shorter by 4ft my transoms bigger taller its a big 24 only 500 lighter well mine was 1000lbs got rid of some plywood and used decolite balsa which I think sabers might have used great stuff. so phuck the step boats old SABERS need a drive lift, like a face lift if people see them moving in flat water maybe we can get people to take a interest in ORDERING A NEW ONE cause I will make sure after kicking some azz in the kilos or pokerruns or p400 racing if they let blowers still in, to show people what these hulls look like explain about the coring, these days with what s glass, CF, kevlar I bet you could knock 500 lbs off a new SABER and with a new drive height get a 525 boat to 80 with out a step on it, maybe a notch for a higher drive height or the merc its or custom konrad ace which will handle 800hp easy, in my case hope 1100hp:evilb: oh its close with the blower motor but should make it by a few inches hope to know by jan10:party-smiley-004:, if anyone wants a DEAL ON A 3'' RAISED BOX get a hold of john or me he has a DEAL ON ONE and if you have stock exhaustjust plan on upgrading it and tell the co you need a gig to line up your tails that way they send you the header 1ST or exhaust manifold and a gig or you gey 4''pvc pipe cut and glue to fit your holes send back to be made. [and your boat will love you long time.] plus it will be faster and sound deeper better. call me or pm with QA ]]> Saber AIR TIME http://www.offshoreonly.com/forums/saber/219725-hey-shorten-drive-height.html http://www.offshoreonly.com/forums/saber/219568-going-make-saber-known-again.html Thu, 05 Nov 2009 00:33:33 GMT :coolcowboy: Thanks to jon, I am the new proud owner of a 28 SABER!!!!

Wish I made the move 20yrs ago when looking at the there single no power add in powerboat mag. but instead of a 1yr old 26sutphen 365hp b1 for 24,000 or the saber I bought the 24 baja sport aka OL 330hp 16,700.00. and did a lot of motor changes over the yrs getting to 83.2mph with 2 small of a prop. I see what I missed in a custom boat with the SABER. So we need to get a line on SABER CLOTHES JACKETS, SWEATS, POLOS, TEEs. Who owns Saber now, cause I was thinking making a design for a jacket or sweats a patch one design in my head would be the 3 boats going from bottom to top faned out the 41 in the middle 28 on one side 34 on the other then have saber offshore power boats as a border with saber across the top and left to right halfway down the rest. other wise I have so much baja clothes I will just but baja on it:eek::evilb: and is parnnel making the 41 or are the brothers making a 28. it looks modern to me old school at the same time.I am sic of the european trashy looking boats builtin swimplateforms do'nt like that look. 1st thing is to get the drive set up then motor in, red bezels for gauges red steering wheel, then if I have the time start the cabin seats and bed area with red leather or a high end vinly but like real leather and come up with a design for the floors the rug that is down . its a glue marine good job but its the thinner 22oz not the 40oz. so it will go if not this season next but I should do it now with a custom ASHLEY TAYLOR RUG need a theme, pokercards with dice, or animal skin design pirates skull design. cause if I don't change the paint we may add to it black and silver with a devil skulled something on deck, name could be HELL TIME instead of AIRTIME 2:evilb:, RED DEVIL, SATANs DEN, SATANS TOY, think of these cause the design on the boat right now looks like a devils tail or a dragons tail, hey my life for the last five half years been HELL hahaha with the 6 surgeries I have had in that time and am still phucked up with this sucky knee replacement so maybe hell time would be good. but it mostly will end up airt time II. I hope to break a 100 with 1000 hp if not turn up the boost race gas:evilb: later dudes.
