Sabreliner.

They're just exquisite.

What's your favorite?



I dunno about "exquisite" but Sabres do have the rep of being well
built. They're handsome, if thoroughly conventional.

If I were choosing one as a gift, I'd pick the 38 Express if I could
have it with a single bigger Cummins. This isn't meant as an insult,
there is a long long list of boats I wouldn't accept for free...

Why? Properly built & properly maintained, core is great. Lasts 99.9% as
long as any other type of fiberglass.

In talking about longevity, remember the old codger discussing a certain
type of wood said to be resistant to rot: "Well mister, if you make a
fence post out of that wood, and another fence post out of granite...
the wood one will rot out about one year before the granite one does."
