So what brought Saber down ? Did they get tied up or shutdown by the illegal actions Vorce had done or was it just a combination of bad publicity from Vorce being somewhat associated with them and than the economy going to hell?

I think WW got sucked into it after being traded in on a new 41 saber center console that never materialized.

The publicity was the culprit. Saber is still building boats I believe someone can order a 41 if they wanted to.

You maybe right I don't know how that all went down. I will say the powerboat community around here is a small group and that was a HUGE deal.

Love the Stories. Thank you

Few more questions if you feel up to it.

Was the 39 mold that you bought from Mr Saccenti also just a stretch of a 35 cigarette but maybe stretched in a different area of the hull as far as stern to bow ?

Also was there any 39s built from Mr Saccentis mold before he sold it to you?
No it was not a stretch as the 39 does not have the famous crease in the side of the boat. No other 39's were made by Bobby before I bought the mold and yes it was used for some other layups one of which has proven to be a very good 36 foot center console. The mold was blocked down for that size.....36.

The concept for doing that .......blocking down to a 36 was a pretty smart idea and we intend to do the same and come out with a 36 also. There is a hint in here Tommy.

But so far the jury and the timing weighs on the disagreement Ben had with Aronow that was outstanding.
Jury? What jury found Ben guilty of manslauter?
