Congrats to Saber!!!
 

Congratulations to all the owners of the 41 Sabers! They made an unbelievable showing at this years SOTW! Especially on the 2nd run of the day when the waters really picked up. Can't wait to see the video of all 4 running next to each other getting big air and running strong! Last ones to leave, 1st ones in. Pretty impressive! Got me sold, time to build my 34 Saber.

Parn, Mike, Jerry and Mark, awesome job guys!!

Re: Congrats to Saber!!!
 

what are the specs on the sabres, hp, beam, stepped or straight v, are they just really good in rough water, how do they compare with the Apaches?

Re: Congrats to Saber!!!
 

they are the apache 41 mold...you gonna sell them now? :D


www.saberboats.com read grasshopper and learn....

Re: Congrats to Saber!!!
 

The first four built are as follows;
Twin Staggered 1075 Mercs and 6's
Twin Staggered 1200 Sterlings and 6's
Twin Staggered 950 Chiefs and 6's
Triple 900 Chiefs and 5's
All straight bottom boats with 8' beams.
The sotw video will give a pretty good indication on how they handle rough water as would the 22 people that rode with us.
Apache? Ask Nykamp, he has one of the best Apache's ever made, Allez Vite, cause he rode in the 1075 boat. I believe he will tell you they ride comparable. :D
The web site will be getting a significant update over the next sixty days.
Look for a bunch of changes at Saber soon. NK

Re: Congrats to Saber!!!
 

Congrats guys! It sounds like you guys finally got some big water on SOTW. I'll have to get a ride in one of those bad boys later in the Summer! :drink:

Re: Congrats to Saber!!!
 

Yep they did awesome at Smoke, and yes they ride just like an APACHE. I look forward to the up coming years from my Boys at SABER. I am going to be running next to 2 of the 4 this weekend at Boyne. Next year hopefully all 4 will be up there for the run, playing with me and Kemosabe and hopfully WARHWK.

Re: Congrats to Saber!!!
 

They were a sight to see......i was in white lake falling asleep till they showed up :D

Re: Congrats to Saber!!!
 

Skater boys are always welcome, and their hot babes of course. Looking forward to this video unlike the last five boring ass years of pond water. Missed ya bro. Talk to ya soon. NK

Re: Congrats to Saber!!!
 

Maybe a 47 Saber too, huh?

Warhawk? I recall, even though you don't, that you renamed Warhawk Mr 99.9 at Kirby Saturday night. :drink: Krysta's contribution was as follows, " Steps, we don't need no stinkin steps" Fun partying with the Nykamps. NK

Re: Congrats to Saber!!!
 

Hey Parn, if you are involved in anything, it will be done right. Or do I mean over-done. :drink:

Mark

Re: Congrats to Saber!!!
 

Cant wait to see the video. I watched the oso video and saw you guys milling around..its exciting cant wait to see the 47 halfbreed...:)

Re: Congrats to Saber!!!
 

man, wish I could sell those too, right now I could sell every manufacturer and not sell 1- sales are dead on performance boats, unless you want to lose money, just sell boats because love boating, most have asked me to rep their boats, wont be buying anymore new ones for sale, stick with real estate development.

Re: Congrats to Saber!!!
 

Hey Parn and Steve, nice to hear Poseidon was on the side of the BIG V's.
How's one to get a video of this years SOTW?

Re: Congrats to Saber!!!
 

Stormrider
PM Boatme about the video. I assume it is a ways off but this year people will definately be pushing them to get it done. Well at least me. :drink: NK

BTW My three Amigos ready to ride.

Re: Congrats to Saber!!!
 

U R always sleep'n cuz U R wiped out from changing all those stank'n diapers!!!!!!!!!!!! :evilb: :evilb:

Re: Congrats to Saber!!!
 

Stormrider,

We were out playing around in Lake Michigan waiting for the poker runners to come by and it was awesome. The 4 - 41's ran together the entire second leg. It was fun to watch and all the folks in the 41's looked like they were having a blast. The video should be pretty sweet. Mr. Dietz would have been in his glory!

Re: Congrats to Saber!!!
 

A question on the old Wicked Won Saber it had water pickups in the trim tabs what did these feed?

Re: Congrats to Saber!!!
 

ballast tank.....

Re: Congrats to Saber!!!
 

Ryan is the winner. Electric pump to empty and the trim tab hose to fill. Jim originally put it in because he didn't notch the transom and was worried about it being a little bow light. He then went with boxes and the rest is history. Never used the tank again and since the tabs aren't in the water at top speed he didn't remove it. NK

Re: Congrats to Saber!!!
 

Forward ballast tank ,.... More Dietz OVERKILL !!!!! :rolleyes: :drink:

Guys .... had a ball .... Thanks again for all the help with the boat and the HOSPITALITY ! :drink: Steve and Krista , it's always a pleasure !!! And I gotta say , you Lake Michigan guys don't back off :eek: When we were really crankin it there for a while I kept hoping to get some "daylight" to catch my breath , and there was none to be had ... Crazy Bastards! :D Have fun at Boine folks ... and I'll see ya soon !!!

Re: Congrats to Saber!!!
 

Sorry I didn't get to run with all of you guys out there. Didn't realize you stopped behind us until we had to stopped and secure one of the front hatches.

By the way Parn, thanks for the driving lessons!

--Mike

Re: Congrats to Saber!!!

Re: Congrats to Saber!!!

Re: Congrats to Saber!!!
 

BGIII becareful on your deck, I made her a little slick, it was a ball rubbing up all the Sabers for the show. Jerry the door is always open your you and the mrs., your bad boy is next on the list tomorrow. Have fun with her this weekend and thanks for a great weeknd on the RED ROCKET. Steve

Re: Congrats to Saber!!!
 

wats the 41 sabers run top speed wise?

Re: Congrats to Saber!!!
 

HeY Jon .... Yeah sorry about that ... was just getting in and in a bit of a yank :rolleyes: when I saw you ... See ya next time !

Re: Congrats to Saber!!!
 

Steve-
A little slick!!! No chit. I must have looked like a complete idiot at the marina Saturday crawling down the deck on all fours clinging to center rail just to hook a line on the front cleat.:D

Parn -
Thanks for the driving tips last week. Renae was pretty impressed with the improved ride and Saturday was a good day for figuring some things out. No tab + more throttle = more fun!!!

Re: Congrats to Saber!!!
 

Mike
Glad to see ya out getting after it. Makes the wait worth it I hope. Looking for my return ride in Last Mohican then I will buy the drinks. Plenty of rough water left. :drink:

Jerry
No quarter my friend just cause you are from out of state. Nice to see how ya adapted. Bet that right arm is a little beefier this week. I really wanted to get my South Haven card there at the end but I was running out of gas. I could have gone forever. :cool: Enjoy the LEOPA run and make us proud. :drink: NK

Re: Congrats to Saber!!!
 

Glad to hear it Bill. Saturday would have been a get really wet day. Did you get a chance to take any pics when we went by? Thanks for letting me use your boat for my little show. See ya soon. NK

Re: Congrats to Saber!!!
 

Yellow boat topped out at 109

Re: Congrats to Saber!!!

Re: Congrats to Saber!!!
 

I've seen 3 of the 4 up close and personal...............awesome boats... :eek:



Although I'm still waitin for my first ride (Jerry :D )..........



Can't wait!!!!! Have fun at LEOPA :drink:

Re: Congrats to Saber!!!
 

I can't wait to join the Saber family! Hopefully by this time next year I will be right next to all you guys with a new 34!

Parn, how sweet would it be if Boyne had the same water!!!!

Re: Congrats to Saber!!!
 

Nykamp or Parn, is Kemosabe coming back this year? I just saw him at Tommy's a few weeks ago but wondering he'll be back.

Re: Congrats to Saber!!!
 

Where you at his wedding? :drink:

Re: Congrats to Saber!!!
 

Which one? Oh wait they both failed, oh well, got all the mistakes out of my system. :D Now on to a bad ass 47 and a wicked little 34 for Offshore Whore.

Winds 10mph out of the south. Sounds like Noreaster and Ruthless water. See ya in Beaver Island. Lets hope for Kemosabe. NK

Re: Congrats to Saber!!!
 

"mine has topped out at 102"..............................grrrrrrrrrrrr

Re: Congrats to Saber!!!
 

O W, last I heard Kemo will be up there. Bill sorry about the deck, enjoy the rest of the summer with her. Steve

Re: Congrats to Saber!!!
 

I was with Parnell on the wildest ride of my life. I've been on a lot of poker runs, and I can honestly say that was the wildest, funnest ride I've had. I swear we were catching 100 ft air time. 80 mph in 2-4 ft waves was no challenge for Nauti Kitty (Dazu' Dahate')(Apache for "very fast").

And there were 4 of us together. I got a really good pic of one of the Sabers in the air. I'll post it from work tomorrow.

Parnell is one of the best drivers I have seen, smooth and consistent, you da man,, Parn!

I also want to publicly say THANK YOU for setting several members of my team into your boat on Saturday morning. They had a royal blast! Most had never ridden in a boat like that before, so they were really geeked out.
It really meant a lot to me, you're a class act.

Re: Congrats to Saber!!!
 

You and your crew are welcome anytime Mitch. Hope we made up a little for last years debacle. Should be some fun pics and video. Thanks for your help on the platform. NK


Carl
We all would have loved to have seen Warhawk. Now that it's new with new power shouldn't you be boating a bunch? It's no longer and old resin bucket, it's a new resin bucket. Head north one of these days and call Steve. We will see ya at red dock. NK
