Hi guys, could someone please help me out?I am thinking about buying a 41 Saber (the boats LOOK FANTASTIC)and wanted to know the difference between them and a 41 Apache from the late 80s,early 90s (construction , speed power for power weight ect)thanks .

better light weight construction = faster w/ same power.

from what i understand... same hull and deck.

If I had my pic. I would definatly rather have a new Saber like storm said better , lighter & stronger material now than in the past. I will also add that Saber's build quality speaks for itself if you have ever looked at one up close & if not & you are remotly interested in one I would Highly advise taking an up close look as you will be impressed.

Sabre looks like the real deal here.Looking foward to speaking with Purnell.

Apache is kevlar and some are kevlar and carbon fiber. What is lighter and stronger?
Thanks
Ed

Saber does not use any of the fore mentioned Kevlar ect? I love both boats but i am told to be extremely careful in buying an Apache (alot are over twenty years old,raced in salt water ,hulls particular transoms reglassed ect,ect.)Not to mention i ABSOLUTEY refuse to pay more now (twenty years later)then a boat went for new.(Some people are asking over 350,000.00)

Apache will always but always be in Apache...but sabers are very good rough water boats....it's like saying chevy and gmc......but if i had the pick Apache ....period

I appologize. I did not realize that all where Kevlar & some Kevlar & carbon combo. I just assumed that some where Kevlar but not all. I guess thats what I get for assuming. Anyway NOT taking anything away from apache but if I had the choice ( which I don't see happening in the near future.)
I would choose a new Saber over a used Apache just for the
simple fact that I would rather have new than used. I am not trying to start a war Just my humble opinion. Both are equally Awsome & extremelly well built boats That I would be more than glad to own or even be seen in for that matter ! Like donz said Chevy vs. GMC.

The race or race/pleasure setups where over $400,000.00 when new.

It's ok...no argument intended.
Next Spring I will have the Comanche up and running. You are welcome to come aboard and enjoy a ride.
