Me neither, we are gonna tweak props once more but it seems to have hit a wall. I spoke to Doug and he said just at 100 or just shy is normal for 28s. I have not heard any really running faster if so someone please share. 5400 RPM with 36s The math says it should GPS says no. Hydrodynamics I guess.

I would also think a #5 would pull a lot of power compared to a Bravo style.

twins, unknown hp , owner was a little secretive about that. rumor was 110+ mph. doug would know the details. if he will tell you i dont know.

i do know the X dimension was high, only limited by the transom assembly hitting the rub rail.

Smart move listing it on OSO. I remember when your boat was for sale back in 2009 or 2010. I waited so long to pull the trigger and when I did someone had just bought. I kicked myself for not buying it and then bought my 28 Apache. Sold it and waited for years for another single engine 28 Saber to come up and it never did until now roughly 2 years after I bought my Saber. I do prefer the twins, but did not realize so much was different than my 1989 28 Saber. The engine hatch and bilge is like a solid 1 1/2ft longer, which makes for a shorter cockpit as well and the chines on the newer models are like 2-3 times as wide so mine doesn't handle quite the same. The bilge floor/hull of mine appears sturdier and thicker; just walking around in the bilge you can tell a noticeable difference; there is no give.. I read the 2013-2014 build thread and saw where Doug said he was using 3/4 inch of balsa in the hull of the 28's and using 1 in balsa coring in the hull of the 41's. I think they may of used 1 in balsa coring on mine as the first twin engine 28.
