So is the 44 a blocked off 47?? Don't they have a hull sitting there with no deck or something along those lines? They have 7 models do they have 7 molds?

It would be awesome to do some updating and have another builder on the west side again.

Agree 100% but it is a dead industry and there is no way to build them reasonably and still be profitable.

I know you get the 41' molds, but they 47' molds ownership has always been merky and lively contested.

If business is all about fulfilling an unmet need, this is a tough one to spend the money on even if it is cheap. It is a brand with minimal recognition, no real niche and dated models.

With the 28, 41, 44, and 47 molds..... not a bad deal to someone serious about building some true off-shore wave crushers.

An updated version of Apache sure would be sweet.

Saber's are known for their World Champion designs and performance, unbreakable construction, classic offshore good looks, and loyal enthusiastic owners.
As a small niche builder, it doesn't have to sell that many boats to be profitable.

best regards, Doug Geelhoed
