I've got my 28 apache for sale here on OSO. Its got 40 hours on repower.

Not 100% sure, but I think the apache has a solid fiberglass hull (no core). Do sabers have a wood core? I know they use balsa in the deck. Do they use balsa to core the hull? The Sabers are lighter boats no doubt. Is the balsa core the reason for this? Just curious.........

Noty quite the same boat but there is a 28 pantera with twins listed

And there is dru's pantera in MD.

The Saber's are pretty much balsa cored throughout.. The entire hull itself and most of the upper deck.. I'm guessing the rest are the same way, but I know my transom also consists of a 3/4" sheet of balsa and a sheet of ply laminated togather..

Not the cheapest way to lay up a boat, but a very good one !!

To answer your question about the weight, I have no doubt it helps contribute to them being lighter, all while gaining strength at the same time..

Thanks guys, all are nice boats but as I said, he only wants a 28 Saber with twin IO's

They are completely cored thruout and I dont believe there is any balsa in the transom. Balsa everwhere else

Not trying to derail the thread, but my transom is definitely 3/4" Balsa laminated to a sheet of 3/4 ply, with the balsa on the "outer layer"

Now you have me curious.. Somebody go take a hole saw to theirs real quick and let us know what you find..:lolhit:

If anyone has cut into one... it's you Scotty!

You do have a good point there brotha

Who would have thunk it Good question for Doug some day

I'm sick of cutting into transoms so I will just take your word for it

Seems to me when I changed my drain plug housing there was two layers there.

After looking at your Donzi pics. I have no doubt your tired of cutting.. ;)

mine has the same layup. I heard at one time ww had the same and had issues with it so they redid it full plywood

My 41 was full plywood
Was not aware they had ever done any different.

I have and your right, ply with balsa. mine might end up with a vee keel or pad this spring.

I would sell mine but it is only a single...if any intrest!

You have a PM,

yes

Still nothing

whats your buget? I'll look around here. theres a 31 89 sutphen hull cut for twin bravos, new cockpit 14,000. if you want a running boat, what do you want to spend. I'll see who is selling out here.

Im looking for turn key. Thanks for looking though. 25k would be my top for the right boat ATM

great I will keep a look out for you. going to a party to night for one of the race teams. will pass it on, guys coming from mass,NH,RI,CONN. good luck.

Hey Nauti, you ever get the magnum done? Hope all is well.

Hi Tom
I decided to sell two of the three I had and buy this Saber. I am in the middle of a huge restoration of an old Chris Craft commander and when I'm done I'm taking a few years off to boat. I hear you have a big project going yourself. I am heading over to see it one of these days with Ellis when he and I can get the time together. Looking forward to seeing it
