I'd go with something mild like this. Paint the fairing to give it a lower profile look. Or maybe go with something crazy like the hammerhead 41 Apache. I love that paint job.

Until I blew that pic up I thought it was a model on a shelf :eek:

Thats one hell of a set up! Like the paint too.

Yeah, everybody loves that photo. It is a 28 Apache, custom one off, twin diesels, trick swim platform pulls out either on rails or via hydraulics, can't remember. Could of been the last one built. Pretty sure it was also a 2002

I think that is Jim Moran's boat, the guy who owned South East Toyota and JM&A. This guy was loaded. I noticed the seats and engine hatch r differant then mine. The paint job is awesome. I saw a 28 footer a couple months ago that was for sale with a taller fairing, did anyone else notice it? I am 6'4" so I would love some more wind deflection. I have the flaps but they really dont seem to do anything for me.

You are probably refering to my old 28', I had my paint/ glass guy do the race fairing for me. Built it from 1/4 aluminum plate, then added 3 alum. wind laps on top, works extremely well -- I'm 6'3"---
The boat was bought by a friend of mine is routinely running the Lake Erie Islands.

We also moved the shifters, as i thought it was too tight for the starboard side shifter with the throttles right there -- just about became disasterous docking one time--

delsol 08-14-2011 03:32 PM

Not to highjack this thread--

Beautiful boat by the way--

but doies anyone know what the tender 28' was/is running for diesels and drives?

myattitude 08-15-2011 01:13 PM

Delsol it was your boat, I like that way it lookd. If I did that then I could put the heads up drive and tab indicators. I know what you mean on the docking thing with throttles and shifters next to each other, it is cramped.
WOW I show pictures of your boat like 2yrs ago. What a AWESOME MACHINE... SABER makes some really cool rigs.
