What is the value difference between an 06 saber with 1075's and a later 80's apache with old school blower motors?? I would have to think the saber would be worth way more since it is 20 years newer. What do you guys think? I think that if I was going to spend $175k on one of the two I would buy the red saber.

Not looking to start an argument, just would like to know what is better about the apaches, IE: layup, ride, etc...
It just seems when you put a pencil to it, the saber has the apache beat in almost every category.

i would have to say that since some apache's are for sale for the same price as they were 25 years ago and the saber is for sale for probably 1/3 of what it was new only being 6 years old i would think the apache is a better investment due to zero depreciation. i wouldnt mind either tho

Go look at it and find out for yourself. Call the owners of the other 41 Sabers and see what they think. If I had the same choice I would take the newer boat for sure. IMHO Saber is built as well or better than Apache. I love Apache too, dont get me wrong, but Saber is just as good. Just not as well known and does not have the name recognition. If you want a serious big water machine Clifford is it, have seen it in person and it's a great boat.
