The Mantus bridle is absolutely the highest quality we have ever seen. Used it many times and it really helps even in significant waves and wakes.
Our experience with a Seakeeper was outstanding. Not only at anchor, but in some marinas where there was consistent wash, we were not impacted at...
Lots of good advice already. Just a couple of suggestions from our experience. Never rely on dockhands! Not only are many not knowledgeable,...
Just one other comment on dockage. The available docks for live aboards are fewer each year in Florida. The submerged land lease restrictions on...
Check with Sabre on availability of Zeus Pods. The performance numbers on those are dated 2011.
Best binocs we have ever had. +1
The key for the newer Sabre boats with IPS is that they were specifically designed for IPS from the hull up. That not only impacts performance,...
I doubt that. Of many hundreds of friends who have pods, and have traveled thousands of miles, the issues reported to me are significantly more...
As a long time IPS owner I can't let go the comments. We have a number of friends who hit bottom at full throttle and two knocked off a pod....
Just be very careful with any accident in the Bahamas. We were in a slip at Staniel Cay and got hit by a local tour boat. We were aboard at the...
In spite of running the water from the tanks regularly and filtering it when filling, we also have periodically used a light bleach mixture in all...
From our experience, it will be slightly warmer in the Florida sun. The real question is whether it is gelcoat or painted. Dark gelcoat does not...
Having been aboard a number of IPS boats in addition to the two we have owned, much of the issues that have been discussed are the result of two...
I guess I am really biased but we find the IPS system really terrific after now more than 10 years of owning and operating IPS boats. It is most...
There was an issue with the control on the Sabre 45 and they made a change to fix it. This was a problem where it could lower by itself. What...
The worst problem we have is with dockhands who not only do not know what they are doing but refuse to listen to instructions. And it is tough to...
You can argue whether the wording should be changed, but I would argue that you ought to at least know how to navigate without electronics. It...
What was it we were talking about?
Growing up in the snow belt in Ohio, we had many feet of snow which was tough walking to school uphill both ways.
Not only location, but where you are going to boat. Specifically, if you are along the ICW, you should look at the number of bridges you would...
