Our first boat was an 89 Sabre, then a 97 Pantera II DC. I think when the Sabre got “noticeably” wider in the transom would be early 2000s, like 05-06.
Now I’m fishing in a Triton with a 225. Meets my needs at this point in life. Occasionally still get to catch a few off the back deck of my brother’s Puma FTD too, lol
