It's a beautiful "Apache"..... They had a nice product, it's to bad the first owners/business men were so f'ed up on drugs and other not so kosher things......it could have been something meaningful.

Not knocking Pantera, Kudo's to them for picking up the mold and putting their own steps in it.

Not a apache but really close to it.

Beautiful boat, no doubt! Purely my opinion but is it on the high side for a boat that's almost 12 years old and very limited production? How many Sabers were made?

While we're at it. This one is newer and much faster than any of them! :drink:

Four 41 Sabers built. All in great condition. I tried to base my price on what's available. Tatonka 275K, Tonto 250K, Allez Vite 150K w/o power, Only Rumors 150K, Chill Out Warrior w/ #5s 175K. All of these boats look very nice, well maintained and are 6 to 11 years older. The Saber asking price is 190K and I am open to offers. I'm sure all will listen to offers even tho you may get laughed at. As far as limited production, we know all are well built. It's not like the need will arise to go to the junkyard, find a front clip, or fender with none to be found cause enough weren't produced.
There's a nice 42 Tiger w/6s on boxes for 155K as well. That one seems like the deal!
In your opinion, what price would it take to have these boats change hands? It is the buyers market for sure.

Yes and No on the durability.

Center engine works it A** off because the center drive
is the deepest.

Also the center drive and prop take the most abuse.
From a working stand point and prop damage being
your lowest point.

Still take a good staggered set-up any day.
Even just for the mind set knowing it's much easier
to crawl around and maintain.

I wish I had an definitive opinion by my simple answer is, I just don't know. People don't want to buy the Chief because it's a one-off yet it's also a beautiful boat will all the amentities and it's a runner just like the Apache's and Sabers.

WW is an awesome boat. If I were a serious buyer, I would call you to see if anything could be worked out regardless of asking price but that's just me.

My friend has his boat listed for $225K, it's a 2005 51' OL with fresh 600's.

The 2004' Cig I posted above, also for sale by a friend @ $225K. I wont move either and it's priced to sell with new engines, rebuilt drives and new transmissions. We even have a huge receipt for work done that would turn your head in circles. It also has all the bells and whistles of a pleasure boat.

Beautiful boat no doubt. NK

Great post concerning the duties of the center drive. . 33 1/3% load for each unit. as opposed to 50% load in twins. Even if the center drive gets a few percent more than the other two..........the durability gain is substantial. Strong props are necessary & available. Ease of maintenance..the staggered configuration gets the nod.

ive never run a triple -- buyt have talked with a few that have and from what they have siad the center combo pushes closer to 45 % and the other 2 split the difference when running in the rough.
Kinda made sense to me as its the last to push off the wave and the first to reenter. This came up when i asked why the center engine was running a crash box, while the outside 2 were hyd trannies...
