Saber builds the same design? RBR will also build one? How come people don't pony up on their doorsteps for one? Wouldn't modern materials and techniques build a better boat? I find it hard to believe that the legendary Apache "Attention to detail" can't be found anywhere else.

Oh yeah, I'm going there...

True. Now that's what I call depreciation. Its scary sometimes how much the value of these high end boats fall after only a few years.
Thats why we rebuilt our 16 year old 41 Apache this year. Going to run it another 15 years and then we'll have a classic
What the heck, the Kevlar is good for about 50 years or so.Original :
