28 Saber vs 28 Pantera
 

Just curious, anyone had both or been on/driven both. How do they compare ride, handling, room etc. any opinions one vs other?

This should be good :party-smiley-004: Nah just kidding. They are both great. My last boat purchase was between Saber and Pantera. I bought the Saber. I have a few buddies with Pantera's so I have been in them too. My opinion....I'm just saying...is I prefer the Saber. I think the ride is a bit softer and more solid in the Saber. Softer because of the rounded keel and full length running strakes. More solid because the entire hull of the Saber is balsa cored. I don't think all Pantera's are....atleast the ones I was in were not. Also I felt like I was riding on the Pantera not in it. The Saber you sit a little more in the boat. But that is just seating preference. With that said they are both built like brick s hit houses and are as custom as it gets.

The Apache is better:party-smiley-004:

ooooooooooooooooo no here we go :party-smiley-004:

LOL

Is the 28 on my lot your old boat?
Gonna break ground soon on that piece.
1100hp should stand it on its azz:eek:

Yo G, me and Ernie go to boat show Friday night--you in player-----lobster man may come too.

That's the one. Here are a couple side by side pics.

hey John, i see you had the PBR option on your swim platform, i actually like PBR, i remember it used to be really cheap , with its new found popularity the prices have gone up but its still cool beer . tastes way better poured into a cup. looking forward to seeing your new ride. as for the pantera vs saber question . as someone who has watched the transom of both boats disappear in front of me, its a pretty even pick.

True but the 29 Phantom is best! :drink:

You like that...my wife hates it. I tell her you can't have a white trash moment without a can of PBR around :drink:

My 28 Apache is available if you wanted to join the tribe...

thanks for the offer,im a year or two away from an upgrade i bought a new leftover checkmate zt240 last yr. its not the fastest or the best ride in 3 + footers but its for dam sure the (SHINYEST) if thats even a word. it must be all the PBR, i cant spell anymore. John my other half hates PBR also, i tell her its just more for me. however ive caught her sneaking a can or two while my back was turned. Our Birds better not lay another egg sat night.

Great shots looks like you had some fun with her!:drink:
