Sabre is, or was, simply following what the ABYC Standards said to do.
It was industry standard but now understood to be inadequate.

Don't find out


My Sea Ray jetboat was made to ABYC standards, too. It said so right there
on the little sticker. That's why the goddamned fuel tank inlet and vent
fittings were way up under the cockpit decking so you couldn't even see
them, much less change them or check them for tightness before the boat
exploded. To get to them, you simply disassembled the entire boat and took
the whole top off.....or you could take a rip saw and open a hole in the
deck but you'd have to be careful not to go 1/2" too deep or you'd be
cutting into the cheap milk bottle polyethelene plastic tank with 25
gallons of explosives inside held in with two tiny plastic angle brackets
eating into the soft plastic's aft end.

ABYC should be very proud.....

The stereo fuse holder was on the forward bulkhead of the engine
compartment held in with one screw.

Everyone should own one Sea Ray in their life......just one.

It's made by Bayliner....er, ah.....Brunswick....you know.
